Some of Janacek's influence can be heard in Haas's unusual harmonies and strange melodic twists, but he was already finding his own path in this score.

Behind them, the band plays bouncy mbaqanga, adding its own kinds of three-against-two syncopations and melodic twists.

Country music with unparalleled melodic and lyrical twists.

Lyrical & melodic twists that are practically ...

All the melodic twists and turns, the rhythmic moves, the repetitions, the riffs, the harmonic shades of dissonance and consonance combine into a separate voice.

Listeners catch only glimpses of the Schubert-to-be through clouds of near-boilerplate rhetoric, most clearly in the Allegretto's melodic twists and turns.

Some of his melodic twists, like the melody insisting on the major seventh of the chord, became common use in jazz and easy listening music after him.

It's also a band that cherishes the details dear to musicians: melodic twists and tempo changes, eclectic borrowings and room to improvise.

For me, the result was that startling shifts in the music - an unexpected change of harmony, a mercurial melodic twist - passed by almost unnoticed.
