Harmony
- is the process by which the
composition of individual
sounds, or superpositions of
sounds, is analysed by
hearing
- Usually, this means
simultaneously occurring
frequencies, pitches
(tones, notes), or chords.
- Carl Dahlhaus (1990)
distinguishes between
coordinate and
subordinate harmony
- Subordinate
harmony is
the
hierarchical
tonality or
tonal
harmony well
known today
- Coordinate
harmony is the
older Medieval
and
Renaissance
tonalité
ancienne
- Subordinate
harmony is
the
hierarchical
tonality or
tonal
harmony well
known today
- Other types of
harmony are based
upon the intervals of
the chords used in
that harmony
- Most chords in western
music are based on
"tertian" harmony or
chords built with the
interval of thirds
- In the chord C
Major7, C–E is
a major third;
E–G is a minor
third; and G
to B is a
major third.
- In the chord C
Major7, C–E is
a major third;
E–G is a minor
third; and G
to B is a
major third.
- Other types of harmony
consist of quartal and
quintal harmony.
- Most chords in western
music are based on
"tertian" harmony or
chords built with the
interval of thirds
- A unison is
considered a
harmonic
interval
- just like a fifth or a
third, but is unique in
that it is two
identical notes
produced together
- The unison, as a
component of
harmony, is
important, especially
in orchestration
- just like a fifth or a
third, but is unique in
that it is two
identical notes
produced together
- Interval In music
theory, an interval is
the difference in pitch
between two sounds
- An interval may be
described as horizontal,
linear, or melodic if it
refers to successively
sounding tones
- such as two adjacent pitches in a
melody, and vertical or harmonic if
it pertains to simultaneously
sounding tones, such as in a chord
- such as two adjacent pitches in a
melody, and vertical or harmonic if
it pertains to simultaneously
sounding tones, such as in a chord
- An interval may be
described as horizontal,
linear, or melodic if it
refers to successively
sounding tones
- Chords and
tension
- harmony is manipulated
using chords, which are
combinations of pitch
classes
- In tertian harmony, so named after the
interval of a third
- the members of chords are
found and named by
stacking intervals of the
third, starting with the
"root", then the "third"
above the root, and the
"fifth" above the root
- the members of chords are

third, starting with the
"root", then the "third"
above the root, and the
"fifth" above the root
- In tertian harmony, so named after the

- harmony is manipulated

- Perception
- Harmony is based
on consonance
- a concept whose definition has
changed various times during the
history of Western music
- In a psychological approach,
consonance is a continuous variable.
Consonance can vary across a wide
range
- a concept whose definition has
changed various times during the
history of Western music
- Harmony is based
on consonance
