Close harmony is an arrangement of the notes of chords within a narrow range usually notes that are no more than an octave apart. It is different from open harmony or voicing in that it uses each part on the closest harmonizing note (such as – C4 E4 G4) while the open voicing uses a broader pitch array (like – C3 G3 E4) expanding the harmonic range past the octave. Close harmony or voicing can refer to both instrumental and vocal arrangements.
