What does Consonant and dissonant mean in music?

There are 3 times where this terminology will come into play. the first is in relation to a single note in the chord. a "dissonant" note is normally a 1/2 step or a tritone (augmented 4th) away from a chord tone, creating an unstable or tense sounding interval or chord. for instance if you play an Ab over a C major Chord, you will notice dissonance because Ab is one 1/2step from G (the fifth of the chord).Note that this terminology can only relate a note to a chord. that is a note cannot be dissonant in relation to nothing, it's classification is dependent on the chord it is surrounded by. a consonant note merely belongs in the chord, it is a chord tone or other note in the key signature that does not result in tension. C E G are all consonant notes in a C Chord (but they are all dissonant in an F# chord) The second is in relation to a chord itself. if a chord has one or more dissonant notes it sounds tense/unstable and can be called a dissonant chord, where a consonant chord sounds stable. The third is in relation to an entire piece or phrase. this is entirely arbitrary as a piece can have dozens of dissonant chords, but progress and resolve in such a way for it to sound stable. or vice versa, a piece may have many consonant chords but not resolve, or end on a dissonant chord to give an overall dissonant impression.

The most dissonant interval in music theory is the tritone, which is an interval of three whole tones.

When the tritone is resolved to a more consonant interval, such as a perfect fifth, it contributes to the overall sense of resolution and completion in the music.


How did the difference between consonant and dissonant chords change in twentieth century music?

In twentieth century music, composers began to experiment more with dissonant chords, using them to create new harmonic textures and colors.

This exploration of dissonance became a key element of modern and contemporary music.
