Melody is the art of arranging several sounds in succession, one to another, in a manner agreeable to the ear; harmony is the art of pleasing that organ by the union of several sounds which are heard at one and the same time. Melody has been known and felt through all ages: perhaps the same cannot be affirmed of harmony.'
7. Krishna Rao, H.P. writes in this connection in The Psychology of Music as follows: ' It is the melody of Indian music alone that can express the external emotion. Harmony lets emotion in and melody lets it out. Melody unites or repels the hearts, while harmony unites them with nature.'
