[Coco] Another FORTH

[Bill Pierce]

Kandur, It would be nice to see the sources for that utility. I would love to see how he handles "implied" harmony from a medoly line. Especially since there's several types of harmony. Of course he states he was in a "Barbershop Quartet" so he would most likely have implemented that particular type of harmony which is one of the more interseting types. My older brother sang in a barbershop quartet and so I heard that style a lot.
It's unique that in the 60s-70s, we added several "harmony types" to the vast list..
Beatles 4 part harmony
Eagles 5 part harmony
Beach Boys 4 & 5 part harmony
Each with it's own distinctive chord structure and sound. There were others but most were based on those 3.
Uriah Heep actually had a very unique harmony structure in that they used minor dissonate downtones to create "dis-harmony" against distorted guitars and a wailing Hammond B-3 organ.
Then there was Freddy Mercury and "Bohemian Rhapsody" :-)
