  Harmony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harmony is the use and study of pitch simultaneity and chords, actual or implied, in music.
For much of the history of western classical music, including the common practice period, the conventions and rules of harmony were strictly enforced, often by the controlling influence of the Roman Catholic Church, while folk music and non-Western music also developed often widely different notions of harmony.
Harmony may also be distinguished as centrifugal or centripetal harmony, harmony which leads away from or to the tonic, respectively.

From the beginning of the Baroque era (circa 1600), harmony was widely understood as the chords with which a melody was accompanied (as the practice of basso continuo, or figured bass, implies).
Harmony cannot be dissociated from the rhythmic aspects of music.
Harmony is sometimes seen as the 'opposite' to counterpoint, because it primarily operates vertically whereas counterpoint seems to operate horizontally.

Notes may be considered to be in harmony with each other when some of the harmonics of each note, especially the louder harmonics (which are often the lower ones), share the same frequency (with a small margin of error).
Some traditions of music performance, composition, and theory have specific rules of harmony, typically amounting to a simplified description of harmonics and resonances, which will be more or less appropriate depending on the instrument(s) to which they are applied.

In modern western music, their can be said to be two primary scales that are utilized most universally, the 12 tone chromatic scale and the 7 tone diatonic.
In music this refers to how two notes or tones sound together, and the development of all the possible notes/tones that sounded well with a "neighboring" note/tone within the most basic "consonance" of an octave produced the scales referred to earlier.
In the observation of the existence and universality of the 7 tone diatonic and 12 tone chromatic scale, and in the exploration of the relationship between the two scales, I intuited that I might be on to some of the "whyness" for the universal pattern of growth I had uncovered.

 Solving the mystery of musical harmony
These results suggest that certain pairs of tones sound more harmonious than others because they are physically similar to the patterns of sound energy most familiar to human listeners from their exposure to speech, said the researchers.
In deciding to analyze speech as a natural basis for tone perception, the researchers were faced with a very different challenge from that of exploring visual perception.
The solution we have evolved is evidently to respond to ambiguous optical and acoustical stimuli by taking account of the statistical relationship between stimuli and their sources.

But while the focus is undeniably on the band's musical chemistry, Southern Harmony also boasts a strong collection of songs, striking a perfect balance between the concise Shake Your Money Maker and their later, more jam-oriented records.
While there aren't as many obvious singles as on their debut album, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion is the best expression of the Crowes' ability to take a classic, tried-and-true sound and make it their own.
The two best-selling singles off "Harmony" ("Remedy" and the ballad "Thorn In My Pride") were only minor Billboard hits, and none of them cracked the top 40, but the album itself debuted at #1, and that's a pretty good picture of "Harmony".
