harmony
Notes blending together
Harmony is the pleasing combination of different musical notes played or sung together, creating chords rather than single melodic lines.
This sense extends to any agreeable arrangement of parts into a unified whole: The room's colors were in perfect harmony.
When people live or work in harmony, they do so without conflict or disagreement.
To be in harmony with something means to be consistent or compatible with it: His actions were not in harmony with his stated beliefs.
