Aug 5, 2017 at 15:03 comment added Dekkadeci @Tim, it depends on your definition of "non-chord tone". For example, the Fire Emblem main theme's second bar has either a IVmaj7 harmony or a IV harmony against Mi in the melody (e.g. in G major, that's a Cmaj7 chord or a C chord with a B on top) depending on whether you think the melody has an accented non-chord tone or not.
Aug 5, 2017 at 12:53 comment added Tim @alephzero - after racking my brain, I need some examples from 'a lot of music', 'cos I couldn't find examples where melody wasn't included in the underlying harmony. Surely if that was the case, either the chord or the melody line would be wrong?
Aug 5, 2017 at 3:42 comment added user19146 "is there a name or keyword for this study" - no, because the subject is far too broad to have a one-word name. Not to mention that there is no "rule" that says "music" must have either a melody or harmony, and a lot of music has neither.
