The word harmony

There is harmony between melodies.
There is harmony between each melody.

Are both sentences okay? Or, must it always be plural (melodies) while saying there's harmony?

' is a grammatically correct sentence, but it's also a sentence you would never say. Of course there's harmony between some of all possible melodies, but which melodies are you talking about? If you're talking about a specific couple of melodies, say: There is harmony between the melodies.
