![]() It is the fundamental basis of the Golden Mean. It is a dinergic relationship, which is the fitting and joining of often contrasting elements. Matt.kaner 13:58, 17 February 2007 (UTC) Reply This article starts very well, it's a shame that the rest is so bizarrely awful. This passage really needs to be clearly articulated with the correct terminology and well referenced. There are millions of academic sources on this subject. Then the word 'song' is used, which gives the entire paragraph the authority of a primary school project. Even some choral music for four voice choir is not divided this way. Whether or not a piece of music is divided into these four parts is never the same, regardless of the genre of music. 1750-1790)? Secondly as it seems to be referring to Tonal Western Art Music in general, I would like to point out that the first sentence is entirely wrong. What is 'classical music' is it Chinese Classical Music? Is it music from the so-called 'Classical Era' (c. These are just the basic ones." There are so many things wrong here. Note: there can be more than one example of those parts in a given song, and there are also more parts. The next paragraph opens "There are four basic "parts" in classical music-soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. I know there is a lot of overlap here with other theory articles but without touching on these issues, any academically trained musician or theorist will see the article as nonsense. You need to talk about major and minor and what these intervals are (maybe mention systems of temperament). ![]() Once the reason for this emphasis on the fifth and third has been established the make of the triad can be much more easily explained. There are so many academic sources on this subject (in the 1000s at least) I won't bother with a link. There needs to be an explanation for why the triad became the fundamental consonant sound in Western music, and therefore some reference, and ideally a notated example of the harmonic series. In some other cultures it did not appear at all. The triad (three note CEG chords) did not materialise in western music until later on. Pre-medieval western music was 'harmonised' often exclusively in consecutive open fifths and octaves. The most 'basic' harmony is either the octave (or if this cannot be considered harmony) the open fifth. There is also no reference whatsoever to the sort of music this is referring to. Music theorist do not talk about 'basic harmonies', especially when what they are really referring to is triads. Firstly, the first sentence is extremely unspecific and poorly put. In an A-flat chord, the notes are Ab, C, and Eb. So, in a C chord, the notes are C, E, and G. A basic chord consists of three notes: the root, the third above the root, and the fifth above the root (which happens to be the minor third above the third above the root). ![]() Take the following example: (Under the heading 'Tensions): There are certain basic harmonies. ![]() I find the tone (no pun intended) to be a bit colloquial at times.
