grow yo brain.

The word of the day is klangfarbenmelodie, which officially (although, is wikipedia official?) means "a musical technique that involves breaking up a musical line or melody out from one instrument to between several instruments. It adds greater color and texture to a melodic line, instead of just one timbre in playing the line."

I happened upon this word which is great in and of itself as well as conceptually. I have only heard it used once (the technique, not the word), and didn't know there was a technical term for it, and think people should try using itcoughmorecoughoften.
