Introduction to HarmonyI
In everyday language, Harmony means Closeness, Friendliness, or Agreement
Webster: "A consonant, orderly or pleasing agreement of parts."
Musical Definition: "The combination of simultaneous pitches"
Harmony = The sum of all individual/different parts, coming together in agreement to a make a whole
Question: How do we know which notes sound **GOOD** together?
Question: How do we define "GOOD" in this context?
Over the course of history through a process of some methodical thought, but mostly trial and error, we have come to accept a general STANDARD of what sounds 'good' and what sounds 'bad' to the human ear.
***As with everything, there are exceptions (some people reject conventional harmony), but for the most part, we will all agree***
*** Another exception is people from other parts of the world - what we are talking about and hear everyday is called "Western Harmony" - There is a totally different set of runes in Asian and another set of rules in India (and probably many I don't know of)****
