A musical chord or harmonic combination containing or relating to two distinct tones or strings.
From 'bi-' meaning two, combined with 'chord' (from Old French 'corde' and Latin 'chorda' meaning string). This term emerged in musical theory to describe chords with exactly two note components.
While bichords sound simple compared to modern complex chords, medieval and Renaissance music built entire compositions using variations of two-note combinations—showing that simplicity doesn't mean lack of sophistication!
