harmony

Harmony comes from latin harmony, although its more remote origins refer to a Greek word that means "combination" or "Adjustment". The term can be used to name the combination from sounds Simultaneous that, although different, are chords. The concept is also used in reference to the well-arranged variety of sounds, measurements and pauses. For example: "What I like about this orchestra is the harmony it achieves in its compositions", "I am studying harmony at the conservatory", "This style of music is not characterized by its harmony".

Specifically, within the musical field, we could say that harmony is the term used to refer to the relationship that is established between the different chords, more specifically their organization, and that it is what allows, together with others elements, that a composition is not only pleasant to the ear but of high quality.

Scales, tonality, movements, links, tension or rest are some of the elements that must be taken into account when establishing the harmony of a song or when analyzing it.

The concept has extra-musical meanings, in relation to the balance of proportions between the different parts of a whole. The harmonic is always considered as beautiful or pleasant.

The proportion and correspondence of one thing with another, therefore, is the harmony: "If you paint the walls in these colors, you will lose the harmony of the style", "I need to change the chairs to achieve harmony in the room".

Harmony is also the friendship and good correspondence. When two people are in harmony, they do not have problems with each other, but they maintain a peaceful relationship that does not generate inconveniences: "We have talked about our differences and we are in harmony again", "To preserve harmony in a couple, the important thing is to maintain respect".

It is common to talk about family harmony. In this case, it is established that in order to achieve it, it is necessary to bet on ensuring that each member has their space, that there is organization and order, that tolerance and respect are chosen ...

In colloquial language, the term is used as synonymous with inner peace or calm: "I am in harmony thanks to yoga", "When I get home and sit on the sofa with a glass of red wine, I feel that I regain harmony".

In addition to all the above, we would have to highlight that there is currently a cosmetics company that receives the name of Armonía Bio. The main peculiarity that it offers is that it is in charge of preparing and making all its products using only plants and extracts of plant origin.

There is also, on the other hand, Animal Harmony. This is the name of a non-profit association whose main objective is to help develop as normal as possible for all those children who have some type of illness or disability. To help them achieve a better quality of life, it is in charge of putting them in contact with animals, which will help them to improve not only what it would be in their physical growth but also emotionally.
