	Mastering Improvisation Through Auto-Rhythm/Accompaniment Technology
		Failure to remain within the rhythmic context of the rhythm pattern is almost self-correcting, as the student immediately becomes aware of his deviation from the beat, an awareness that is not often demonstrated when working outside of this technology.
		Awareness of the harmonic rhythm found in the accompaniment is also helpful for students attempting to harmonize notated melodic lines from lead sheets, particularly if the student is planning on embellishing the long notes within the passage.
		Rhythm notation sheets can be a useful means of supplying specific rhythmic ideas from which a melodic improvisation can be developed, always within the context of the accompaniment patterns to maintain the pulse.

	The Polyrhythmicon Home Page: Selected Works
		Using the polyrhythmicon this transformation from noise to rhythm was accomplished by programming each module to its maximal tempo setting with slight displacement of beats between voices.
		The first section is in the form of a rondo, an alternation between a returning theme and new material such as the song form A B A C A. This rhythmic rondo is accomplished by gradually speeding up and slowing down each voice independently until it becomes another voice in the progression.
		The penultimate rhythm is chaos, a wild rush of stochastically generated rhythmic pulses coinciding with the introduction of acoustical noise and the high string melody of the final section.

	Stephen Jay: Harmonic Rhythm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Rhythm is converted to harmony by raising it five to ten octaves, and again its inherent relative consonance translates perfectly between the two scales.
		The collective ability to perceive increasingly complex harmonic rhythm patterns in instrumental and vocal timbre appears to be on a similar evolutionary path.
		When intonation is imperfect, the rhythm of a harmonic interval becomes a sequence of patterns through which the activity moves in regular cycles each time the phase shift crosses the center axis of the frequencies involved.

	Annotation for Lester, Joel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In Bach's music, the primary metric level is almost always the individual beat (fast harmonic rhythm); frequently there is "functionally meaningful harmonic motion at the very fastest levels in the piece on a continuous basis" (130).
		Among those chiefly influenced by Schenker in their development of a rhythmic theory is Arthur Komar, whose 1969 dissertation, "A Theory of Suspensions" offers "a comprehensive metric theory in which every pitch at every level in a hierarchical analysis is paired with a specific duration in a specific metric position" (200).
		Lester's pervading doctrine in this chapter (and in chapter 5) is that rhythms and phrase structures are as much an element of style as are harmonic language, orchestration, form types, and aesthetic attitudes (242).

	Dancing With The Whole: Part 1
		Using the example of dance, harmonic entrainment is like when dancers move simultaneously to several beats with different parts of their body; i.e., their arms may move on the quarternote, their hips on the halfnote (or 2 and 4 of the quarters) and so on.
		Harmonic rhythm patterns are universally present in the natural world as they are in the above example of dance.
		Harmonics series that appear in dynamically systems like human development or the electrical activity of the brain may be steps in a continuum of change.

	Principles of movement, interest and of variety
		By "harmonic rhythm" we mean the rate at which chords change, especially when the outer voices move (this is independent of the surface rhythmic values, which may include harmonically static repeated notes and trills).
		Harmonic rhythm is always felt in relation to a norm; once this norm is established, all other things being equal, faster changes "raise the temperature", while slower changes calm the atmosphere.
		In music without clear tonal centers, modulation acts like a simple extension of harmonic rhythm: the arrival of new pitches is easily noticed, and the rate of their arrival influences the sense of musical momentum.

	Some Thoughts on Entrainment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In the course of a drum circle, usually lasting an hour or more, there is a great potential for physiological and psychological entrainment (of biorhythms and consciousness states) for the individual and the group as a whole.
		As a regular harmonic rhythm is maintained, the group’s biorhythms begin to entrain together (i.e.
		Playing a drum rhythm and hearing a drum language (rather than a series of numbers or counts) opens the door to the emotional and energetic quality within the music.

	Notes On "Day Tripper" (DT)
		"Harmonic rhythm" is the rhythm articulated by the chord changes in a piece of music.
		Furthermore, harmonic rhythm can be manipulated to lend a passage a feeling of acceleration and climax, or conversely, a feeling of relaxation.
		The harmonic rhythm effectively mirrors the deferred gratification described by the lyrics; after a ten measure introduction consisting of one chord, the verse still has trouble getting off the dime, harmonically.

	Harmony
		Harmony is one of the basic elements of music, but it is not as basic as some other elements, such as rhythm and melody.
		Musicians may speak of the chord progression of a piece of music (for example, "two measures of G major, then a half measue of A minor and a half measure of D seventh", or just "G, A minor, D seventh") or more generally of classes of chord progressions (for example a "blues chord progression").
		Because of basic laws of physics, the bass line sets up the harmonics that all the other parts - including the melody - must fit into.

	TAXI FAQs: Songwriting: The Importance of Contrast
		Although the melodic rhythm remains similar in the chorus, there is a contrast in melodic range, since the melody goes a full fourth higher than it does in either of the two preceding sections.
		The final example of contrast is a change in the harmonic rhythm, or number of chords per measure.
		The rhythm, or groove of a song, is the third area in which we can create effective contrast.

	Principles of coherence and continuity
		A more useful way to think about harmonic coherence is as one aspect of a leading thread for the listener to follow as the piece progresses.
		By "stratified harmony" we mean harmonic textures where richness is achieved by simultaneous, but clearly differentiated harmonic strands.
		These distinctions between harmonic reference points and harmonic ornamentation, and the way reference points are approached and left - in other words the way they are pointed out to the listener - are critical for understanding the interaction between harmony and form.

	[smt-list] Baroque rhythm section [temperature issues]
		The walking bass with essential harmonic tones on strong beats and polarity of voices are more than enough to establish the parallel.
		The "role" of the rhythm section in this evolution is not simply constitutive, because changes in musical time perception drove the shift from brass bass to string bass, and from bass drum to (ride) cymbal, just to cite the simplest examples.
		Clearly, "rhythm is everybody's business." If the rhythm section changed as much as it did in jazz and popular music in the scant decades of the early 20th century, it is because the concrete conception of rhythm itself changed.

	Scriabin Op 74 no 3
		In much of our traditional music, the harmonic rhythm is paced at a regular interval, usually inversely proportional to the tempo; i.e., usually the slower the tempo the faster the harmonic rhythm.
		However, harmonic rhythm must be supported by a consistent use of a harmonic vocabulary.
		So it is circled and labeled nonharmonic, passing to a G. The G is harmonic for these reasons: 1) it follows a nonharmonic note, and 2) it leaps to E. The last condition means that both G and E are part of the harmony.

		I’m paraphrasing, but he spoke of the period of high modernism – 1950s to 1970s – as a time when many composers lost sight of the power of harmonic rhythm – the rate at which harmonies change in a piece.
		He felt that no matter what harmonic system was being used -- key-centered or freely chromatic, triadic or clustered – a good sense of harmonic rhythm could spell the difference between chaos and communication.
		Harmonic rhythm can be steady or mercurial, can speed up or slow down in congruence or in contrast with the surface rhythm.

		THAT IS: harmonic rhythm is more nearly a constant across all sorts of pieces, than you suspected it was.

		The descending chromatic line is not harmonized with diminished triads but by alternating major and minor triads; and the harmonic rhythm is at the half note instead of the quarter note.
		A harmonic rhythm of the double whole note implies a quicker tempo since a slow rate of change with a too slow tempo would be deadly boring.
		The melody is the stepwise motion of the rhythm dotted-half followed by dotted-quarter, and repeats; and is the principal melody of the entire cantata.

	Notes on "Day Tripper" (DT.1)
		- "Day Tripper" (DT), by virtue of its handling of harmonic rhythm, ostinato guitar riff, and subtle textures in scoring, is remarkably instrumental, even orchestral in gesture for a "pop song." There are also several noteworthy examples here of one of a composer's trade secrets; i.e., avoid rote (read: foolish) consistency even when conveying homogeneity.
		- "Harmonic rhythm" is the rhythm articulated by the chord changes in a piece of music.
		Harmonically it outlines a bluesy I9 chord (with the flat 7th!).
