Harmony Is Motion, Not Decoration
Harmony isn’t about complexity.
It’s about direction.
Emotion emerges when harmony:
  • Moves toward something
  • Avoids something
  • Delays something
  • Repeats something longer than expected
Some of the most emotional moments in music use very little harmony—but use it deliberately.
Challenge:
Create one harmonic moment that:
  • Delays resolutionOR
  • Resolves sooner than expected
Discussion:
How did expectation affect emotion?
