close harmony

Definitions of close harmony singing can vary. Examples are: Vocal lines where the top parts are all very close together – within an octave – and the bass can be wherever it wants because who's gonna tell the bass otherwise? Notes in a very narrow range where the top and the bottom are no more than a octave apart.

The Difference Between Open and Close Harmonies In close harmony, all the notes are as close as possible. Open position chords are much more spread out to where the tonic could be more than an octave away from the other two notes in a chord.

A harmonically closed section ends on the tonic chord ( I ). A harmonically open section typically ends on a non–tonic chord like V , but could also end on IV . In an AABA form, the A sections are usually harmonically closed, ending on I , and the B section (or bridge) is usually harmonically open, ending on V .

If the distance between Tenor and Soprano is less than 1 octave, it is called close position. If the distance between Tenor and Soprano is more than 1 octave, it is called open position.

Examples of Harmony An example of harmony can be when one listens to two flutes playing the same song but with different notes being played by the same instrument. Another example can be when two people are singing the same lines in a song, but they are singing in a different notes.

• Diatonic harmony. This is music where the notes and chords all trace back to a master scale.
• Non-diatonic harmony. Non-diatonic harmony introduces notes that aren't all part of the same master scale.
• Atonal harmony.

noun. : an arrangement of the note or tones of a musical chord in which the three upper parts encompass an octave or more. called also open position.

A chord is in close harmony (also called close position or close structure) if its notes are arranged within a narrow range, usually with no more than an octave between the top and bottom notes.

Fit within one octave. The lowest note is F. And one octave above that is this F. And all of the notes of the chord are within that one octave. So this is a closed chord.
