Melodious accompaniment (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

descant

(Other definitions for descant that I've seen before include "Ornamental melody added above a theme" , "Sung variation" , "Accompaniment added above a basic melody" , "Highest range (eg of a 10)" , "Upper melody" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
