Harmony

Music is quiet by four elements, this elements ar harmony, rhythm, form and melody. I consider harmony to be the most eventful and my personal favorite because harmony is what gives the feeling and character to a meter. The harmony gives emotions to a song, some of this emotions are sadness, happiness and/ darkness. Harmony is any combination of tones simultaneously. It is the structure of medical specialty with respect to the composition and progression of chords. It is ofttimes referred as the vertical side of music with melody being the horizontal side of music.Usually harmonization sounds lovely to the ear as long as the consonant and the dissonant sounds are balanced. Which representation that there is a balance between the tense and the relaxed moments. The word harmony comes from the Greek word harmonia that means agreement and from the verb harmozo that means to Joint. In the past the word harmony was used to refer to the whole field of music while the word music was u sed to refer to the arts in general. There are unlike types of harmony.Some of these types are open position, close position, subordinate and oordinate. Even though some types of music finish outlive without harmony like percussive music that doesnt utilize harmony, doesnt mean that all kinds of music crapper make it without harmony. No, they cant. One of the genres of music that highlights the use of harmony is Jazz. Any music that utilizes instruments like piano, guitar or voices utilizes harmony. A song that I like and highlights the use of harmony is Hotel California by The Eagles.In this song some of the chords they use pantomime the ringing f the mission bell on top of hotel. There is also a Spanish feeling in the song that I think could relate to the Spanish heritage of California. In the antecedent of the song there is also a shaker sound that kind of resembles that of the rattlesnake. When you hear this sound you can imagine a desert. All of this and other sounds in t he song creates a mood. Also during the chorus you can hear a few other voices in the background that resembles there sound of voices echoing through and through the hallways of the hotel.
