Harmony

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

(Redirected from Harmonies)

Harmony is a concept in music and sound that involves the combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords and chord progressions having a pleasing effect. It is often considered the "vertical" aspect of music, with melody being the "horizontal" aspect.

Overview

Harmony refers to the "vertical" aspect of music, which means that it involves the combination of notes played simultaneously. This is in contrast to melody, which refers to the "horizontal" aspect of music, or the sequence of notes played one after the other.

In music, harmony is the process by which individual sounds are bound together. A harmony is a series of notes that blend together when sounded simultaneously. In music, harmonies can add depth and complexity to a piece of music.

Types of Harmony

There are several types of harmony, including diatonic harmony, chromatic harmony, jazz harmony, and atonal harmony. Each type of harmony has its own rules and characteristics that make it unique.

Diatonic Harmony

Diatonic harmony is a type of harmony that uses only the notes of a single scale. This type of harmony is often used in classical music and folk music.

Chromatic Harmony

Chromatic harmony is a type of harmony that uses notes outside of the diatonic scale. This type of harmony is often used in jazz and modern classical music.

Jazz Harmony

Jazz harmony is a type of harmony that is often used in jazz music. It is characterized by the use of complex chord progressions and extended chords.

Atonal Harmony

Atonal harmony is a type of harmony that does not use a tonal center or key. This type of harmony is often used in modern classical music and avant-garde music.
