What does MONODY mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
A mournful poem or song in which one voice laments a death.
In ancient Greek tragedy a monody was an ode sung by a single actor, usually in grief. Later poets borrowed the word for a lament written for one dead person, such as a friend or a leader. In music it has a second sense: a style built on one melodic line carried by a single voice with simple support beneath. The common thread is solitude, one voice speaking where a chorus might be expected.
