dissonanza

For example, in the key of C Major, if F is produced as part of the dominant seventh chord (G7, which consists of the pitches G, B, D and F), it is deemed to be "dissonant" and it normally resolves to E during a cadence, with the G7 chord changing to a C Major chord.

dissonance in American English 1. an inharmonious sound or combination of sounds; discord. 2. any lack of harmony or agreement; incongruity.

Dissonance is when two or more tones clash and create a harsh, unpleasant sound. Dissonant intervals include the major/minor second and the major/minor seventh.

Consonance in music, is when a combination of notes sounds pleasant. Examples of consonant intervals is music played in unison, major and minor thirds, perfect fourths and fifths, major and minor sixths, and octaves. Dissonance is a combination of notes that sound unpleasant or harsh.

The intervals that are considered to be dissonant are the minor second, the major second, the minor seventh, the major seventh, and particularly the tritone, which is the interval in between the perfect fourth and perfect fifth. These intervals are all considered to be somewhat unpleasant or tension-producing.

Moments of tension and resolution created by individual chords in a harmonic progression (a series of chords) are known as dissonance or discordant (tension) and consonance or concordant (resolution). Combining moments of tension and resolution within music helps to add interest and keep the listener engaged.

Consonance Examples:

• Hickory dickory dock.
• Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
• She sells seashells by the seashore.

Consonance is a literary device that occurs when two words have the same consonant sound following different vowel sounds. For example, the words 'same' and 'home' have the same 'm' sound, but the vowel sounds before it are different. The first is a long 'a' and the second a long 'o.

Consonant harmonies are a combination of pitches in a chord which are agreeable or easy to listen to and make pleasing sounds. Dissonant harmonies are a combination of pitches in a chord which are relatively harsh and grating.
