Harmony

I love music, especially when harmony is involved. Three part harmony is the best but I will take two or four part anytime! For those who know me well, I am deaf in my right ear. I have never heard in stereo. I can only imagine... I know some day I will hear in perfect pitch and in perfect stereo. Growing up I was a rock and roller but I always loved all different kinds of music. It is harmony that really moves me.

One group I listened to ALL the time was CS&N, Crosby, Stills and Nash. I would listen to them over and over again just to hear the three part harmony. They were also CSN&Y, with Neil Young, 4 part harmony!! One of the groups I love to listen to now is Selah. Wonderful sound, simple with piano accompaniment. The video post above is Selah, Alan Hall, piano, Todd Smith and Amy Perry, vocals. For those of you familiar with Selah, Amy Perry is new to the group, she replaced Todd's sister Nicol. New and old, AMAZING!!! (thought I would carry the word over to this post in case you missed me saying it) I also really like Il Divo, have you ever heard these guys? 4 part harmony at its best. Listen to their video post and become a fan, instantly. Il Divo means divine male performer in Italian. They are Sebastien Izambard, Carlos Marin, David Miller and Urs Buhler.

For those wondering about my CS&N days, well, they will remain a mystery for now but I posted a video of them above so you can hear three part harmony too! David Crosby - acoustic guitar, Stephen Stills, electric guitar and Graham Nash, piano.

So we have examples of 2, 3 & 4 part harmony, 3 different genres of music (Selah-Contemporary Christian, Il Divo-Operatic Pop and CS&N - Rock & Roll)... close your eyes and enjoy.

Harmony - musical agreement of sounds, the combination of tones into chords and progression of chords
