Graphic Harmonizing

 

Graphic harmonizing is a special type of musical arrangement that gives prominence to the melody rather than the sound of it. It enables the composer and arranger to play different musical notes at the same time with the same melody. Harmonic Harmorizing is often used in combination with other types of musical arrangements like key signatures, meter, rhythm and melody structure. Let us discuss about the basics of Harmonic Harmorizing.

A Harmonic template is a sequence of notes (usually a quarter note played on the piano) that are played in a repeated manner. It can be a simple repeated pattern called a "Harmonizer", which consists of only one or more repeating notes like a G minor or a C major. There can also be several forms like polyrhythmic or rhythmic harmony, but we shall focus on the main type of Harmonic template that involves a melody. As the name implies, a musical composition written with Harmonic template has a specific pattern of notes played at the same point in the progression. This way, the listener can already visualize the melody and do nothing else but listen.

A musical diagram is a graphical representation of the musical progression. It is a sequence of musical notes arranged in a particular way in order to give an impression of the rhythm. The most widely used musical diagram is the one showing a bass line and a treble line with two vertical lines (one for each key on the piano) that connects them. This creates a visual picture in the listeners' mind of the bass line and the treble melody.

The major difference between a musical diagram and Harmonic template is that a musical diagram merely represents a series of tones rather than a progression of musical notes. Another way to say it is that musical diagrams give an impression of melody. They can be seen as a flower arranging its petals or a tree trunk bending in the wind. In contrast, Harmonic template is a graphical presentation of chords that are considered basic building blocks of harmony. When using them together, they create a beautiful background to further enhance the listener's understanding of the melody.

Both musical and harmonic charts are relatively easy to make with the help of some software like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or CorelDraw. For musical chart, a person just needs to have a.txt document with the names of the keys pressed, the chord numbers, and the rhythm by playing a musical note on the piano or keyboard. After creating the musical chart, all he has to do is to enter the names of the chords into the text boxes on the chart. He can also enter the name of the key of the chord is played on the keyboard. The software will automatically generate the chart.

Graphic Grafico harmonizador is very useful in presenting musical pieces in a more appealing way. When combined with a musical theme or a video recording, the harmonic template makes the whole piece more interesting. They can be used for a dramatic play, a character study, or a comedy skit. It can also be used as an aid for teaching children how to read music, or it can be used as a model for drawing a musical story.
