| Step | Action | What to Note | |------|--------|--------------| | | Locate the first statement of the melody (often in the opening bars). | Measure numbers, key, time signature. | | Transcribe | Write it out in a separate notebook or on staff paper, stripping away accompaniment. | Keep rhythm and contour. | | Contour Map | Plot pitch on a vertical axis and time on a horizontal axis (simple line‑graph). | See whether the shape is arch‑like, wave‑like, or angular. | | Intervals | List the interval sequence (e.g., M2, P4, m2, etc.). | Look for characteristic leaps or stepwise motion. |

| Token | How it clues a season | Explanation | |-------|----------------------|-------------| | | Winter | “Freeze” is the most obvious winter‑related word – temperature drops below zero, water turns to ice. | | 24.06.14 | Summer | This is a date: 24 June 2014. In the Northern Hemisphere (the usual frame of reference for “seasons”) 24 June falls in the middle of summer (the summer solstice is 21 June). The year is irrelevant; the day‑month tells us the season. | | Melody | Spring | In spring the world “comes alive” with birdsong and the first blossoms – a natural melody . In literature and music “spring” is often described as a song of rebirth. | | Marks | Autumn | “Marks” points to the marks that the season leaves on the landscape – the colours and marks of falling leaves. The word also evokes “marks” on a calendar (the time of harvest, school‑year start). | | Domestic | Spring (alternative) – see note below | “Domestic” can be read as “home‑coming”, the time when families settle after the long, harsh winter. This is another traditional spring motif (the return to the domestic hearth). | | Dynamics | Summer (alternative) – see note below | “Dynamics” in the musical sense means loudness and energy – the height of activity, heat, and daylight that characterises summer. | | Step | Action | What to Note
