You usually create a harmony that has three parts. The middle part is called the melody. There are also the upper part and the lower part. You can best practice the 3-part Harmony by creating three samples of vocal lines.
What are the three vocal forms?
Three contrasting voices are standard: cantus, tenor, and countertenor. The cantus typically moves in a high tenor or alto range, in counterpoint with the lower tenor. To this two-part framework is added the countertenor, at times following the style and range of the cantus but at other times that of the tenor.
What are the 3 parts in choir?
