Harmonic Composition

Harmonic composition refers to the way chords and harmonies are organized and combined within a piece of music to create emotional depth and structure. It involves selecting and arranging chords that complement each other, guiding the listener’s feelings and expectations. Think of it as the underlying "color palette" of a song, shaping its mood and character. Good harmonic composition helps a piece feel coherent, dynamic, and engaging, supporting melodies and rhythms while evoking desired emotions. In essence, it’s the art of crafting harmonic progressions that enhance the overall musical expression.
