Musical Term: Harmony...



In music, harmony is the use of simultaneous pitches (tones, notes), or chords. The study of harmony involves chords and their construction and chord progressions and the principles of connection that govern them. Harmony is often said to refer to the "vertical" aspect of music, as distinguished from melodic line, or the "horizontal" aspect. Counterpoint, which refers to the interweaving of melodic lines, and polyphony, which refers to the relationship of separate independent voices, are thus sometimes distinguished from harmony.

Harmony is something that's a necessity in a group (which we haven't seen in years) but being "Off" with your Harmonies can be the one thing that makes your song/lyrics mean nothing if not done with effort and passion.
From a lover of music's standpoint I could give you guys many examples of who gives the best rendition of Harmony in their vocals. But absolutely no justice would be served If it wasn't THEE Group Boyz II Men...Check out the beautiful melodic harmonies...
