Polyharmony

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Polyharmony is the use of two or more harmonies against each other, common in 20th century music.[1] This originated form the ninth chords of Debussy (1-3-5-7-9), which suggested more than one key. Contemporary composers stack additional notes, suggesting even more contrasting keys.
