Diatonic Harmony

Diatonic harmony uses only notes that come from the same key.

Diatonic harmony will only use notes from the same scale.

Chords and notes that fall outside those made from these scales are not diatonic these are chromatic notes.

The key of G majors Seven notes are; G, A, B, C, D, E, and F#

A Cmaj7 is a diatonic chord in the key of G major since the notes are - C E G B which fall inside the G major scale.

A Cm7 is not a diatonic chord in the key of G major since the notes are - C Eb G Bb,

where Eb and Bb fall outside of the G major scale.

Chromatic harmony

Chromatic harmony are all the notes that fall outside the diatonic scale

In the key of C major any sharps or flats which are used in the harmony do not belong to the key of C major. 

These are chromatic notes. 

Chromatic means colour and these notes are used to add colour to the harmony, 

Helping to make the emotional effect of the music stronger.

Modulation

Modulation is when the music changes key to modulate.

It is more likely to modulate to a closely related key. 

This may or may not be accompanied by a change in key signature

Resolution

Resolution means the move of a note or chord from dissonance  to a consonance. 

Dissonance, resolution, and suspense can be used to create musical interest. Where a melody or chordal pattern is expected to resolve to a certain note or chord, a different but similarly suitable note can be resolved to instead, creating an interesting and unexpected sound. For example, the deceptive cadence.

Tonality

Tonality means that the music belongs to a key:

it is built mainly from notes of a particular scale. 

The strongest note in any scale is the tonic.

Tonal

Tonal means that is in a major or minor key.

Atonality

Atonal means it is not related to a tonic note and therefore has no sense of key.

Bitonality

 Bitonality is the use of only two different keys at the same time. 

Polytonality

Polytonality means the use of more than one key simultaneously.
