Harmony and counterpoint

Harmony stacks notes vertically to create richness and emotion, while counterpoint weaves independent melodic lines that complement each other—together they form the language through which music creates meaning and structure. Understanding both teaches that multiple things can be true simultaneously, and that constraint often generates more interesting results than freedom.
