Ash-Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-Uthaymeen rahimahullah said:

“… As for if he performs it [i.e. qunoot] resembling the description of musical tunes, then this is not valid, nor possible [i.e. absolutely not tolerated]. The people are not in need of listening to a speech similar to music. However, they are in need of a supplication which they could make qunoot with for Allah’s sake.” End translation.

Also, Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-Uthaymeen rahimahullah said:

“…As for supplicating with intonation, then from what is appropriate is that it shouldn’t be like the intonation of musical melodies. However, to soften one’s voice with it in a way that the listeners could attain khusho’ [i.e. submission] by [way of it] and so their hearts become attentive by it, then there is no harm in it.” End translation.
