Harmonic used in a sentence

Harmonic in a sentence as a noun

When it's you and a fixed tone, your harmonic palette starts opening up in wild ways.

The shape of the oscillator affects the harmonic content thereof.

There were jazz musicians who developed a style based on 1 chord, but it needn't be harmonically simple.

The top left knob controls the filter cutoff of a low pass filter, ie the frequency above which higher harmonics will be cut off.

I would go further and point out that its slightly missing-the-point to apply harmonic variation to a tone-row structure.

The rise of the relative importance of pop music had more to do with the invention of the phonograph than the increase in harmonic complexity.

As you hit the 1960s you'll see more complexity; The Beatles, for instance, had more harmonic complexity than what had come before, which continues to be imitated into the 1970s.

In other words, this research confirms that the established and traditional theory of scales and harmonic relationships is indeed the basis of human music of most cultures.

Harmonic in a sentence as an adjective

Thus you frequently see poetic statements like "my cat is great at solving differential equations", or "music is math because it's all about harmonic series and Fourier analysis".

The fact that the basis of scales is the set of simple harmonic ratios of an initial pitch has been asserted by theorists for centuries, and that is what these star-convex structures correspond to.

If you're into politics, you likely want to reach a Platonic ideal of harmonic society, where nobody is offended, nobody is threatened, and all laws are perfectly respected and enacted.

I think it's much better to think of a capacitor as a spring:* they store energy;* they can release energy quickly;* when put in parallel they get stronger;* when put in series they get weaker;* the RCL circuit differential equation is the same differential equation as the damped harmonic oscillator.

I would have to watch the video again with your comments in mind, but before I find time for that I want to say that I'm not sure she made the assertion that musical lines don't have meaning until they're embedded in a harmonic context, by which it seems you take a context explicitly supplied by the composer.

I don't think that the frustrating aspects of it are indicative of a failure on the part of the author, but because even our somewhat confusing and complex system of notation ultimately conveys so much more information about the relationships of the fundamental harmonic building blocks that form the basis of pieces like this.

Now, that's not to say that these considerations are audible to most listeners -- one of serialism's greatest failings, in my opinion, is that much of its content is only discoverable on paper even by highly trained musicians -- but it's certainly audible to some, and it's worth noting that this runs counter to her assertion that musical lines don't have meaning until they're embedded in a harmonic context: it's not even true with serialism as practiced!
