5. I. Defined II. CPH III. Progressions IV. Melody & Harmony V. Musical Textures VI. Consonance/ Dissonance A. Harmony= musical element resulting from two or more pitches (notes) sounding simultaneously B. Harmony = Music’s “vertical dimension” C. Chord =2 or more distinct pitches sounding simultaneously Melodic (horizontal) Harmonic (vertical) Say can you see

6. Harmony: Music’s Vertical Dimension I. Harmony Defined II. “Common Practice” Harmony III.Harmonic Progressions & the Tonic/Dominant Polarity V. Musical Textures VI. Consonance and Dissonance IV. The Interplay of Melody and Harmony

7. I. Defined II. CPH III. Progressions IV. Melody & Harmony V. Musical Textures VI. Consonance/ Dissonance A. Most Important C. P. Harmonies Tertian (chords built from 3rds)

8. I. Defined II. CPH III. Progressions IV. Melody & Harmony V. Musical Textures VI. Consonance/ Dissonance A. Most Important C. P. Harmonies Tertian (chords built from 3rds) B. Triad: most central of Tertian Harmonies =Triad C. Principle of Octave Equivalence D. Triads varied via: Doubling, Spacing, Inversion chord of 3 notes, each separated by interval 3rd

9. I. Defined II. CPH III. Progressions IV. Melody & Harmony V. Musical Textures VI. Consonance/ Dissonance Triad Different W/ inversion Spacing Doubling

10. I. Defined II. CPH III. Progressions IV. Melody & Harmony V. Musical Textures VI. Consonance/ Dissonance A. Chord Progression (harmonic progression) = a succession of chords ^1 ^3 ^5 = I ^2 ^4 ^6 = II (roman numerals = abbrev._) ^3 ^5 ^7 = III B. Tonic (I) --- Dominant (V) Polarity Sample Progression (Pachelbel) : I-V-VI-III-IV-I-IV-V-I IVVIIII ^1 ^3 ^5 ^5 ^7 ^2 ^6 ^1 ^3 ^3 ^5 ^7, etc. Tonic Triad: Home/Stable/Marks closure Dominant Triad: Dynamic/Unstable/Leads to Tonic

11. I. Defined II. CPH III. Progressions IV. Melody & Harmony V. Musical Textures VI. Consonance/ Dissonance A.Harmony arises from the simultaneous interaction of several melodies (voices)

13. I. Defined II. CPH III. Progressions IV. Melody & Harmony V. Musical Textures VI. Consonance/ Dissonance A. Monophonic B.Homophonic 1. Block Homophonic 2. Melody and Accompaniment Homophonic C. Polyphonic

14. I. Defined II. CPH III. Progressions IV. Melody & Harmony V. Musical Textures VI. Consonance/ Dissonance Intuitively: dissonant tones clash/sound harsh, tense, unstable, need resolution Technically: a dissonant harmony usually contains a note that’s not part of a triad
