The very unusual melody of this song is highly rhythmic and often makes large melodic leaps.

Features of the remainder of the hymn, however, suffuse the writing, in particular the scale-like passages and the melodic leaps.

Throughout, there are no awkward melodic leaps; everything proceeds smoothly, by arpeggio or by step.

With odd melodic leaps, startling changes of harmony and playful stops and starts, he gave the tunes a new perspective.

The wide melodic leaps in the Pater Profundus role present particular challenges to the bass soloist.

For example, where Lully has contained musical expression, Rameau's recitative style included much wider melodic leaps in contrast to Lully's more declamatory style.

"Wild Eyes of Love" borrowed its melodic leaps and chord progressions from grunge; the cousins promised roots, then sang Prince's "Kiss."

There was also a 12-bar blues with tricky 16th-note passages and wide melodic leaps, to be played "slow and soulful."

There are huge melodic leaps, which I always find difficult.
