Although there are several harmony types, we&#8217;ll be focusing on these two:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vocal Harmony<\/li>\n<li>Keyboard Harmony<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>&#8220;On Vocal Harmony&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There are four main voice parts in a choir:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Soprano,<\/strong> the first voice<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alto,<\/strong> the second voice<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tenor,<\/strong> the third voice<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bass,<\/strong> the fourth voice<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When these voice parts sing together, the outcome is vocal harmony.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;On Keyboard Harmony&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The collection of notes in keyboard harmony are generally defined as chords. A chord is a collection of three or more related notes (agreeable or not), sounded together.<\/p>\n<p>There are various classes of chords, ranging from triads (like the C major triad):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to seventh chords (like the C major seventh chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;What Is Chord Voicing?&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>When musicians talk about chord voicing, they are describing the process of conceptualizing keyboard harmony as vocal harmony.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, chord voicing is a vocal approach to keyboard harmony. Consequently, the notes of a chord are considered as voices or voice parts. For example, in the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;its notes are considered as voices thus:<\/p>\n<p>B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the <strong>soprano<\/strong> voice.<\/p>\n<p>G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the <strong>alto <\/strong>voice.<\/p>\n<p>E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the <strong>tenor <\/strong>voice.<\/p>\n<p>C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the <strong>bass <\/strong>voice.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Considerations In Chord Voicing<\/h3>\n<p>Beyond the vocal approach to keyboard harmony, there are other important things to consider in chord voicing, which include (but is not limited to):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The movement of the voices (in a chord progression)<\/li>\n<li>The rearrangement of the voices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be exploring a variety of techniques that can be used in the voicing (aka &#8211; &#8220;rearrangement&#8221;) of a chord. From the part-over-root voicing technique, to the rootless voicing technique, and more.<\/p>\n<h2>The &#8220;Part-Over-Root&#8221; Voicing Technique<\/h2>\n<p>In this voicing technique, a chord is rearranged in such a way that its root is isolated from the rest of the chord tones (which are considered as a part.)<\/p>\n<p>Applying the part-over-root voicing technique to the C major ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,D,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;entails the isolation of the root note (C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the consideration of the rest of the notes:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,D,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;(which are basically the E minor seventh chord) as a part.<\/p>\n<p>The part over root voicing technique is used to <em>voice <\/em>seventh and extended chords.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;In A Nutshell&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The part-over-root voicing technique are mostly used to play extended chords, that exceed the average human hand span. For example, playing the C minor ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,Bb,D,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is challenging to play with one hand. However, using the part-over-root voicing technique, it can be rearranged into an Eb major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,G,Bb,D,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;played over C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;on the bass.<\/p>\n<p>Altogether, the part-over-root voicing of the C minor ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,G,B,D,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nFollowing the same procedure, you can form the part-over-root voicing of any seventh or extended chord.<\/p>\n<h2>The Drop-2 Voicing Technique<\/h2>\n<p>In the consideration of the notes of a chord as voices, there are basically four voices to look out for:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Soprano,<\/strong> the first voice<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alto,<\/strong> the second voice<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tenor,<\/strong> the third voice<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bass,<\/strong> the fourth voice<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the drop-2 voicing, the second voice (aka &#8211; &#8220;the alto voice&#8221;) is played an octave below its position. For example, the drop-2 voicing technique can be used to rearrange (or voice) the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,C,E,G,B,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;by the determination of the second voice (aka &#8211; &#8220;alto voice&#8221;) in the chord (which is G):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,G,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and playing it an octave lower:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to produce the drop-2 voicing of the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,C,E,B,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;In A Nutshell&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The octave transposition of the second voice in a chord an octave below its position, produces its drop-2 voicing.<\/p>\n<h2>The Upper-Structure Voicing Technique<\/h2>\n<p>The upper-structure voicing technique is exclusively for extended chords.<\/p>\n<p>It focuses on the rearrangement of an extended chord in such a way that its extensions (ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth tones) or other basic chord tones (root, third, fifth, and seventh) are considered as a upper chord structure.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in the C dominant thirteenth sharp eleventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,Bb,D,Fs,A,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;its extensions, which are basically D (the ninth):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;F# (the sharp eleventh):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,Fs,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and A (the thirteenth):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,A,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be considered as a D major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D,Fs,A,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is the upper structure triad in the C dominant thirteenth sharp eleventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,Bb,D,Fs,A,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nConsequently, playing a D major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D,Fs,A,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;over a C dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,Bb,,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the C dominant thirteenth sharp eleventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,Bb,D,Fs,A,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Rootless Voicing Technique<\/h2>\n<p>The rootless voicing technique is one of the chord voicing techniques that is commonly used by advanced players to voice seventh and extended chords.<\/p>\n<p>It features the exclusion of the root note in any given chord. For example, in the C major ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,D,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;excluding the root note (which is C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;leaves us with an E minor seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,D,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is considered as the rootless voicing of the C major ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,D,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Polychord Voicing Technique<\/h2>\n<p>The polychord voicing features the superimposition of two or more chords with the goal of achieving an overall harmony. For example, the superimposition of the E minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,E,G,B,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;over the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces a C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,E,G,B,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;as its overall harmony.<\/p>\n<p>In the same vein, the superimposition of the E minor seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,E,G,B,D&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;over the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces a C major ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,E,G,B,D&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;as its overall harmony.<\/p>\n<p>To derive the polychord voicing of a chord, one must be aware of the triads and seventh chords it consists of. For example, the D half-diminished seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,Ab,C,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consists of the D diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,Ab,,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the F minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,F,Ab,C&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nConsequently, the superimposition of the F minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,F,Ab,C&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;over the D diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,Ab,,&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the polychord voicing of the D half-diminished seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,Ab,F,Ab,C&amp;color=3399FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\"
