Voicing (music)

In music theory, voicing is "the manner in which one distributes, or spaces, notes and chords among the various instruments" or " simultaneous vertical placement of notes in relation to each other." It includes the instrumentation and vertical spacing and ordering of the musical notes in a chord: which notes are on the top or in the middle, which ones are doubled, which octave each is in, and which instruments or voices perform each note.
