Harmony

/ˈhɑːrməni/ noun

Definition

Harmony is a pleasant combination of different musical notes, or more generally, a peaceful and cooperative relationship between people or things.

Etymology

From Latin “harmonia,” from Greek “harmonia,” meaning joining or agreement. It originally referred to the fitting together of musical sounds.

Kelly Says

Harmony doesn’t mean everyone sings the same note; it means different notes sound good together. That’s a powerful picture for human groups too: differences can blend into something richer instead of clashing.
