Decorative melody (7)

I believe the answer is:

descant

(Other definitions for descant that I've seen before include "Treble melody above the main melody" , "Independent melody sung above a basic melody" , "Highest range (eg of a 10)" , "Treble melody part" , "Ornamental melody added above a theme" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
