two-part harmony
Vocal lines intertwined
Two-part harmony is a musical arrangement where two distinct vocal or instrumental lines are sung or played simultaneously, each following its own melodic path while blending together.
It's the simplest form of harmony, common in folk music, hymns, and pop songs: They sang the chorus in two-part harmony.
The parts typically move in parallel thirds or sixths, creating a fuller sound than a single melody.
