Close harmony
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Close harmony is an arrangement of the notes of chords within a narrow range, typically one octave. Close harmony is fairly common, though distinctive or examples of consistent use include Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" using the full range of single-reed wind instruments (soprano and bass clarinets, soprano, tenor, and bass saxophones) to make a distinctive sound. Other uses of close harmony include barbershop quartet and some other a cappella music groups, such as the Boswell Sisters, the Andrews Sisters, The Revelers, the Comedian Harmonists,the Mills Brothers,and The Puppini Sisters.
