Harmony
This article is about musical harmony and harmonies. For other uses of the term, see
Harmony (disambiguation). In
Western music, harmony is the use and study of
pitch simultaneity, and therefore
chords, actual or implied, in
music. The study of harmony may often refer to the study of
harmonic progressions, the movement from one pitch simultaneity to another, and the structural principles that govern such progressions. In
Western Music, harmony often refers to the "vertical" aspects of music, distinguished from ideas of
melodic line, or the "horizontal" aspect. For this reason, considerations of
counterpoint or
polyphony are often distinguished from those of harmony, though contrapuntal writing of the
common practice period of western music is often conceived and defined in terms of underlying harmonic motion. Legato= smooth and flows together.
