How Music Works 3 - Harmony - Part 2

Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0IcvVF-p_k

Looks at overtones (harmonics) generated by a single plucked string, and their relation to harmony. Shows that the basic chords are generated by these fundamental overtones.

Delves into the dark world of minor harmony. (Faure's 'Pavane' played on harp).

Polyphony - many voices combining to form chords (Mass for Four Voices by William Byrd.)

Which chord to use? Demonstrates by harmonising the Xmas carol "Silent Night" at the piano. Points out that the 24 major and minor triads harmonised practically every tune between A.D. 1200 and A.D. 1600!

i have herpes and this dude is soooooo sexy god man where do you get your toe nails chopped at heavon?

[jabez36]

@AnasTangi ahh gotcha

[AnasTangi]

@jabez36 Yes, and the chords will be: C Major, C minor, F Major, F minor, G# Major, A Minor.

These are the 6 possibilities to harmonize 1 note with triads "consonant harmony".

But there are more than 6 chords which include the c note, but we should talk about dissonant harmony, which is the study of chords made with 4, 5, 6 notes, augmented, diminished etc.

[jabez36]

@AnasTangi ahhh so C fits into 6 possible triads regardless of C being the 1 note? right?

[AnasTangi]

@jabez36 any note fits into 6 possible triads (3 minor and 3 major).

Each triad (chord) is made of 3 notes, and you can buil chords they inlcude one specific note, let's say C and the possible chords will be always 6 for each note.

So if you want to harmonize the note C, you have a choice of 6 possible chords you can play along with C so you can give it a specific mood.
