4 The Times praised both the libretto and the music of the first act ("Everything sparkles with the flashes of Mr. Gilbert's wit and the graces of Sir Arthur Sullivan's melodiousness... one is almost at a loss what to select for quotation from an embarrassment of humorous riches.") but rated the score, as a whole, "of a fair average kind, being not equal to The Sorcerer but certainly superior to Princess Ida." Punch also thought the second act weak: "The idea of the burlesque is funny to begin with, but not to go on with".

In Beyond Sanctorum Therion began progressively including classical and other elements to their sound. The record shows a more experimental edge to the death metal music, with keyboard instruments, clean male & female vocalists used sparingly, and also some Persian folk music tunes. However, the riffing sections can be compared to most Stockholm death metal (see Scandinavian death metal) bands with power chord riffing in classical harmonic sense, its melodiousness, and lead riffing focusing on melodies. Overall structuring of narration and music dynamics is quite similar to European death metal conventions.

Benedetto Croce, called her work "facile, tearful, completely centered on the melodiousness and readiness of emotions — poetics that are somewhat melancholy, idyllic-elegiac." He dismissed her, writing that a "lack or imperfection in artistic work is most particularly a feminine flaw (difetto femminile). It is precisely woman’s maternal instinct, her ‘stupendous and all-consuming’ ability to mother a child that prevents her from successfully giving birth to a fully realized literary work."Re, Lucia, "Futurism and Fascism, 1914–1945," in A History of Women’s Writing in Italy, edited by Letizia Panizza and Sharon Wood (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press 2000), pp. 190–191.

Musicality (music-al-ity) is "sensitivity to, knowledge of, or talent for music" or "the quality or state of being musical", and is used to refer to specific if vaguely defined qualities in pieces and/or genres of music, such as melodiousness and harmoniousness."Musicality", Merriam-Webster.com. These definitions are somewhat hampered by the difficulty of defining music, but, colloquially, "music" is often contrasted with noise and randomness. Judges of contest music may describe a performance as bringing the music on the page to life; of expressing more than the mere faithful reproduction of pitches, rhythms, and composer dynamic markings.

It was an oft repeated remark of Embury, "Unless she read, she could not write," and her earlier poems had similarities with the poets she loved the best. Later, her originality asserted itself. The peculiar melodiousness of her verse rendered her one of the most graceful of songwriters, while the impassioned earnestness of her nature, her scorn of injustice, her quick sympathy with the oppressed, found expression in her poems, and ran a thread throughout them.

Biographer Derek Watson says that compared to the Overture in G minor, the F minor Symphony "is certainly thematically uninspired and less characterful," but that it does have "some moments of warm melodiousness and consistently fine if unoriginal scoring."Watson (1977 or 1996) Also, the score is quite lacking in dynamics and phrasing marks compared to Bruckner's later works.Nowak As Nowak also writes: > Much about the work betrays the style of the times, but Bruckner’s own mode > of expression can already be recognized in a number of other traits. The > composer's teacher Otto Kitzler wrote the work off as "not particularly > inspired", which was why Bruckner laid it aside.

The Pooh Sticks were an indie pop band from Swansea, Wales recording between 1988 and 1995. They were notable for their jangly melodiousness and lyrics gently mocking the indie scene of the time such as on "On Tape", "Indiepop Ain't Noise Pollution" and "I Know Someone Who Knows Someone Who Knows Alan McGee Quite Well". The band changed direction on their 1991 U.S breakthrough The Great White Wonder, eschewing the 'twee' British indie pop sound for a more American-styled power pop sound, akin to bands like Jellyfish and Redd Kross. Subsequent albums Million Seller, released on 11 January 1993, considered by some power pop fans to be the band's best work, and Optimistic Fool, released on 24 April 1995, followed in this style.

The symphony was dedicated to the Philharmonic Society, who performed the London première on May 25, 1829, with Mendelssohn conducting.Mercer-Taylor, P. J. The Cambridge Companion to Mendelssohn, CUP (2004) For this performance Mendelssohn orchestrated the scherzo from his Octet Op. 20 as an alternative third movement for the symphony. The London première was reviewed in The Harmonicon: > ... though only about one or two-and-twenty years of age, he has already > produced several works of magnitude, which, if at all to be compared with > the present, ought, without such additional claim, to rank him among the > first composers of the age.... Fertility of invention and novelty of effect, > are what first strike the hearers of M. Mendelssohn's symphony; but at the > same time, the melodiousness of its subjects, the vigour with which these > are supported, the gracefulness of the slow movement, the playfulness of > some parts, and the energy of others, are all felt.... The author conducted > it in person, and it was received with acclamations....

Epica uses a "trademark of many symphonic and gothic metal bands" in contrasting "two extremes, death grunts and brutality on one side, airy female melodiousness on the other." Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic notes that the band's "attraction ultimately hinges on exploring the sonic contrasts of light and dark; the punishing intensity of those elephantine guitar riffs and hyperactive drumming cast against the soaring, layered sweetness of the orchestrated strings and keyboards." Simone Simons delivers classical (operatic) vocals in a mezzo-soprano range, she's begun to sing in a more modern style with belted vocals too (Rock/Pop, as she described it with the release of Consign to Oblivion on an interview) over time, and she has also been known to sometimes sing "with a clear alto voice that has a flawless tone and a lot of emotion." But, subsequently, Simone admitted that she was wrong and that she's not a mezzo-soprano, but a soprano.
