Leonard Bernstein’s ONE-TWO-THREE theory of melody...

Once you become aware of this pattern you begin to hear it everywhere!

PS This video is from 1962, hence the all-male orchestra...

Cool. So, it seems the basic melodic pattern is theme, repeat (or slight variation) and then the take off, if I am understanding correctly. If so, this is everywhere in our music. Like in Made in France: theme, slight variation then take off to the B section. Return to the theme in the second A, slight variation, then take off again in the C. This is literally everywhere.
Some ONE-TWO-THREE examples from the Beatles...
ONE: Michelle, ma belle, sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble
TWO: Michell, my belle, these are words that go together well, my Michelle...
THREE: I love you! I love you! i LOOOOVE you!
ONE: You think you lost your love, well I saw her yesterday
TWO: It’s you she’s thinking of, and she told me what to say
THREE: She says she loves you! etc
ONE: Of all the loves I have won or have lost, there is one love I should never have crossed
TWO: She was a girl in a million my friend, I should’ve known she would win in the end
THREE: I’m a loser! And I’ve lost some one who’s dear to me, etc.
ONE: Oh, yeah, I’ll tell you something I think you’ll understand
TWO: When I say that something
THREE: I wanna hold your hand!!!!!

And of course any twelve bar blues follows this pattern to a T...

I just saw a DC music school video where Frank Vignola talks about his approach to soloing over rhythm changes. He said he's using simple blues riffs and refered to this 1-2-3 melody concept he's using to develop the idea
Very cool
Even the Ramones can figure out this one...
ONE: We're a happy family
TWO: We're a happy family
THREE: We're a happy family, me, Mom, and Daddy!
Thanks for the Frank Vignola clip, Buco... what a surprise to hear him mention the same Leonard Bernstein clip we are talking about!
I’m definitely going to make this one-two-three thing part of my playing... tried it today over a BIAB track for rhythm changes and it felt very natural...
