Usage examples of chords.

However, syncopation of chords is not unknown and, for example, occurs frequently in salsa music, which is a strongly syncopated genre of music.

It explains in detail many of the familiar features of music: notes, scales, melody, harmony, chords, home chords, bass, rhythm and repetition.

It is an empirical fact that the listener to music can perceive chords as groups of notes played simultaneously, but can also perceive chords as groups of notes played sequentially.

What determines the minimum number of chords found in popular tunes: very rarely less than 3, and usually at least 4?

The durations of chords that accompany a melody are generally longer than the durations of individual notes, and are usually a whole number of bars for each chord.

To make the theory work there has to be some method of determining where each chord would be placed on the Harmonic Heptagon relative to previous chords that have already occurred in the tune.

One can attempt to place or locate notes of the melody in 3D space in the same sort of way that I described chords being located.

Presumably the displacement calculated by calculating the locations of notes in the melody should be consistent with the rules for calculating the locations of chords, particularly if the chords are implied by the melody.

Consecutive chords do not always share notes, so shared notes cannot always be used as a basis for determining where to locate chords relative to each other in 3D space.

Speech does not have harmony or chords, unless perhaps we consider several people talking at once.

And music has various different aspects: melody, rhythm, harmony, bass, home chords etc.

If a very musical tune has mainly minor chords it will evoke a strong feeling of sadness, and if a very musical tune has mainly major chords it will evoke a strong feeling of happiness.

Notes within chords and in bass accompaniments can be translated up or down by octaves, without significantly altering their musical quality or effect.

As stated in the music theory of chords, there are some constraints on where notes in a chord are usually placed, and if you translate the notes by too many octaves then those constraints will be broken.
