  1. four-part harmony

    Four-part harmony is a musical technique where a piece of music is arranged or composed for four independent vocal or instrumental parts, typically labeled as soprano, alto, tenor, and bass in choral music. Each part has its own melodic line, but when performed together, these individual lines create harmonies. The concept of four-part harmony is commonly used in classical music, hymn arrangements, barbershop quartet, and modern a cappella performances. The harmony is formed by the relationship between different musical pitches played simultaneously.
