If possible, I want to understand the rhythm within the context of
melody only (no instrumental accompaniment). For example, if someone
were
to just sing a melody in 4/4 time, would that imply which beats are
stressed?
The strong beats of the melody line are a different case to the
accompanying beat. IMO STRONG, weak, STONG, weak is much more common
in a melody line.
In some jazz instruction books the melody beats 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & are
labelled: STRONG, Weak, strong, weak, STRONG, Weak, strong, weak. This
shows beats one and three as the strongest while the "&" of two and
four are the weakest. This is usually related to the idea of keeping
chord tones on the strong beats when you improvise a melody line.
Hope above is of interest, Cliff
