What is the difference between diatonic and non diatonic?
Diatonic, literally meaning "[progressing] through tones" in ancient Greek, is used commonly to refer to notes or chords that are part of, or native to a key center. ... Non-Diatonic refers to any notes or chords that are not native to the key.
What is non-chord tone in music?
Nonharmonic tones (or non-chord tones) are notes that do not belong in a certain chord. Non-harmony notes (or nonharmonic tones) are notes that do not belong in a certain chord. In this example, the F is a nonharmonic tone because it does not fit into the I chord (which contains C, E, and G).
What is an available tension?
Available tensions – are tensions that complement the consonance/sound/feel of the chord; Unavailable tensions – are tensions that conflict with the consonance/sound/feel of the chord. More specifically, an unavailable tension is a note that creates a ♭9 interval with a chord tone.
What are the two types of non harmonic tones?
Nonchord tones are often categorized as accented non-chord tones and unaccented non-chord tones depending on whether the dissonance occurs on an accented or unaccented beat (or part of a beat). Over time, some musical styles assimilated chord types outside of the common-practice style.
