Harmony in Music


Stacks Image 830

Harmony, in music is the sound of two or more notes heard simultaneously. ... If the consecutively sounded notes call to mind the notes of a familiar chord (a group of notes sounded together), the ear creates its own simultaneity in the same way that the eye perceives movement in a motion picture.
Harmony that uses a tonal orientation of some kind makes it easier for listeners to connect because it contains sounds they associate viscerally with a certain emotional response, tapping into a deep resonance. ... The more nuanced and specific one's harmony is, the more personal one's works will sound.

Harmony in Arts

Harmony in art overall is achieved when the elements of an artwork come together in a unified way. Certain element can be repeated, yet they still look and feel like they are lending themselves to a whole. Harmony is definitely not monotony but also not chaos. It is that perfect pairing of the two.

Harmony is a principle of art which refers to how well all the visual elements work together. Elements which are in harmony should have some kind of logical progression or relationship. It should just look like it works.
If there is an element which is not in harmony with the rest of the artwork, it should stick-out and be jarring to look at; kind of like an off note in a song.

In music theory, harmonic rhythm, also known as harmonic tempo, is the rate at which the chords change (or progress) in a musical composition, in relation to the rate of notes.[2] Thus a passage in common time with a stream of sixteenth notes and chord changes every measure has a slow harmonic rhythm and a fast surface or "musical" rhythm (16 notes per chord change), while a piece with a trickle of half notes and chord changes twice a measure has a fast harmonic rhythm and a slow surface rhythm (1 note per chord change). Harmonic rhythm may be described as strong or weak.
According to
William Russo harmonic rhythm is, "the duration of each different chord...in a succession of chords."[3] According to Joseph Swain (2002 p. 4) harmonic rhythm, "is simply that perception of rhythm that depends on changes in aspects of harmony." According to Walter Piston (1944), "the rhythmic life contributed to music by means of the underlying changes of harmony. The pattern of the harmonic rhythm of a given piece of music, derived by noting the root changes as they occur, reveals important and distinctive features affecting the style and texture."[4]
Strong harmonic rhythm is characterized by strong root progressions and emphasis of root positions, weak
contrapuntal bass motion, strong rhythmic placement in the measure (especially downbeat), and relatively longer duration.[5]
"The 'fastness' or 'slowness' of harmonic rhythm is not absolute, but relative,"
[6][self-published source] and thus analysts compare the overall pace of harmonic rhythm from one piece to another, or the amount of variation of harmonic rhythm within a piece. For example, a key stylistic difference between Baroque music and Classical-period music is that the latter exhibits much more variety of harmonic rhythm, even though the harmony itself is less complex.

Harmony in Relations

We crave connection with others, life work that inspires us, movement that make us feel alive, and spiritual connection to ourselves and the world we live .

There are many things that we humans hunger for, and most of them have absolutely nothing to do with food.
We crave
connection with others, life work that inspires us, movement that make us feel alive, and spiritual connection to ourselves and the world we live in.

Having loving and fulfilling relationships

is one of the primary “foods” necessary for a
healthy and balanced life. They provide us with the love, connection, friendship, sexual intimacy and companionship we need.
Harmony in those relationships most likely made it easier for you to find balance and thrive.
Lack of harmony affects your
physical health, your energy levels and your mood. It can lead to things such as anxiety, stress, depression, anger, frustration, and hopelessness.

Here are a few ways to work toward
greater harmony and balance.

Take stock:
Make a list of the people in your life – friends, lovers, coworkers, family members and neighborhood characters.
Take a moment to ask yourself these questions about each relationship.

  • In this relationship, do I feel free to be who I am?
  • Does this relationship give me energy or leave me feeling exhausted?
  • Do I feel supported, respected, loved, appreciated, seen, and heard?
  • Does it feel safe for me to be honest with my feelings and my desires?
  • Is there a mutual interest in helping each other grow?

If you don’t find the answers that you are looking for in any given relationship, it might be time to re-evaluate and see if something needs to shift.

Set your intentions:

Things change. Priorities change.
Be honest with yourself about the kinds of people that you want to surround yourself with.

Identify for yourself what’s important to you in relationships.

Whatever your needs may be, set an intention—a clear message to yourself and the Universe of what you want to bring into your life—and identify the personal qualities and experiences you want from your relationships.

Identify the vampires
someone who sucks your energy and leaves you with little to no life force. Identifying these relationships in your life can help you see where you’re losing energy.

Take responsibility:
Although it may not feel like it, the other person isn’t actually responsible for your loss of energy. You are.
You are ultimately in control of where you put your energy.

Reevaluate:
Everyone is in your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
let go of attachments to old and the need for the relationship to be anything other than what it was.
This letting go process helps opening to new and more fulfilling relationships.

Express gratitude:
Think about the people in your life and try focusing on the things you’re grateful for—the way they can make you laugh, their loving hugs, the delicious meal they made for you yesterday, the way they express their love for you, their unwavering support.

These things serve you:
Everyone we encounter in life has something to
teach us, from the lover who broke your heart to the sweet stranger who offered to help you carry your groceries.
Examine your relationships, present and past.

Open your heart:
We experience as much love as we feel we are worthy off.
Opening your heart is a declaration of
self-worth.
When you
create harmony in your relationships, it brings meaning, depth and richness to your life that’s well worth the effort.
So fill your life with people who energize you, inspire you, support you, and love you for exactly who you are.
You are too wonderful to settle for anything less.
