What is a "descant"?
A descant is an additional melody that is sung or played above the main melody, usually in a higher pitch. It provides a counterpoint to the main tune and adds richness and complexity to the music. Descants are often used in choral and instrumental music to create a harmonious layering effect, enhancing the overall texture of the piece. They are designed to complement the main melody while offering an additional musical line that stands out.
