About: Four-part harmony

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The term "four-part harmony" refers to music written for four voices, or for some other musical medium—four musical instruments or a single keyboard instrument, for example—for which the various musical parts can give a different note for each chord of the music. The four main voices are typically labelled as soprano (or treble and countertenor), alto (contralto, countertenor or mezzo), tenor, and bass. Because the human voice has a limited range, different voice types are usually not able to sing pitches that lie outside of their specific range.

  • The term "four-part harmony" refers to music written for four voices, or for some other musical medium—four musical instruments or a single keyboard instrument, for example—for which the various musical parts can give a different note for each chord of the music. The four main voices are typically labelled as soprano (or treble and countertenor), alto (contralto, countertenor or mezzo), tenor, and bass. Because the human voice has a limited range, different voice types are usually not able to sing pitches that lie outside of their specific range. The effort required to perform four-part harmony varies greatly. Pieces written in such a style can be usually executed by a single keyboard player, a group of 4 instruments (or singers), or even a large choir with multiple singers per part. (en)
  • 用四个声部陈述的和声，被称作四部和声（英文：four-part harmony）。 在音乐作品中，三和弦很少用三个声部来陈述，最常见的是四部和声。这种陈述方式长期以来已成为一种传统。所以在教学中主要也采用四部和声。四声部似然是与人声的四种类型：女高音（高音部）、女低音（中音部）、男高音（次中音部）和男低音（低音部）相联系的。合唱中使用的这些名称在一定条件下也使用在器乐中。最高的声部也称作“旋律”。 (zh)
