Harmony: How music works no.3
After Rhythm and Melody came Harmony.
- Harmony in Western Music enabled the creation of a rich and nuanced language.
- The video demonstrates drones with a hurdy gurdy, then a moving drone (parallel to the melody).
- A rap version of "Sumer is a cumin' in" demonstrates the earliest chord progressions.
- Hierarchies of notes are introduced.
This video is a fantastic introduction to this subject by British composer Howard Goodall.
