WHAT ARE HARMONIES?
Harmony is the sound of two or more notes being played simultaneously. You can play the harmonies on a piano, other instruments and sing harmonies. The notes used in harmony create a harmonious relationship in a pleasurable sounding way. It is a simultaneous combination of notes creating melodious music.
Think of an orchestra, each instrumental section is playing different notes. The strings, brass, and woodwinds all play something different, but they compliment each other. When the individual instruments are heard together, harmony is created.
There are three types of harmony: Diatonic, Non-diatonic, and Atonal. Diatonic is traced back to the master scale. Non-diatonic includes notes that are not a part of the master scale. Atonal does not have a tonal center, there is no identifiable root.
For a singer, harmony is all about the voice and singing around the melody. The different vocal parts will follow the shape of the lead singer who is singing the melody. Vocal harmonies are used in all kinds of music from classical, opera, pop, country to jazz. The Beachboys have some wonderful, colorful and complex harmonies. The pitch is above or below the melody. Vocal harmonies really add so much depth and texture to any song.
JOKE FOR THE DAY:
“I’m sick to death of people saying we’ve made 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we’ve made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.”
