What is the musical term for a chord where the notes are played rapid succession rather than at the same time?
Depends on what you mean. If you mean a big run of notes up or down a piano or harp, then its a glissando. If you mean the notes of a chord, played after one another, its an arpeggio.
Does a harp have chords?
No, a harp is not a guitar. It's more like the inside of a piano played at a right angle. In history it bear a resemblance to the lyre. The guitar and harp are even played differently, harp is played by plucking the strings while a guitar is strummed and fretted.
How do you play recoder?
The recorder, like all wind instruments, is a single-note instrument, meaning that you can play only one note at a time. A chord is defined as three or more notes played at the same time, so you would need three recorders playing different notes to effect a chord. Chords can be played on poyphonic (multi-note) instruments such as guitar, piano, harp and keyboard, but not generally on bowed or wind instruments, such as violin, cello, oboe trumpet and recorder except when played together.
What is a Harmonica cross harp?
In blues harmonica "Cross-harp" refers to the practice of using a harmonica which is in a different key than the rest of the song. This is actually necessary (for reasons beyond my understanding) as a C harmonica will not sound right playing along with a band whos playing a song in the key of C. If the rest of the band is playing in C, get out your F harp. Likewise if the band is playing in A, you need your D harp. Wikipedia puts it thusly... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The key played in this style is one fifth above the nominal tuning of the harmonica, e.g. a C harmonica is played in the key of G. Therefore, to be in tune with a normal guitar tuning of E, an A harmonica is often used. This is because by playing the C harmonica in G, or A harmonica in E, the dominant or seventh chord is produced in place of the tonic chord, and in the blues, all chords are typically played as dominant (seventh or ninth) chords. This is playing in second position, called "cross harp." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Which isn't terribly helpful, but I have found a chart which is... it is linked below. Essentially every harmonica is a scale of the key its in. If you have the proper cross-harp for the key the blues song is in, nearly every note on that harp will fit anywhere you care to put it... you can get by with an off-key harp, but you will have a lot of foul notes to step over. And the way I have remembered it is this. If youre a guitar player, put your finger on an A on the fretboard, now move that finger one string down to D... D is your cross-harp! Put your finger on a G, move your finger down one string & C is your cross-harp!

How is an arpeggio used in music composition?
They can be used in many ways. 1) Complex note sequences like those for a harp, 2) to help complicate a composition, for example playing 1 note can result in a chord of notes played in sequence. 3) Some arpeggio's are designed for playing chords and the results are the notes played in sequence, across an optional amount of octaves, with possible automatic note additions usually in the same key. Most modern keyboards includes thousands of arpeggios, played automatically to the rhythm, and many extrapolate or complicate the composition and the sequence of notes can be manipulated by how a chord is played either simultaneous or via the sequence in how the chord is played. To see how indie and hobby composers use arpeggios in actual productions, see the nutcracker electronica at http://www.pumpyouup.com within the Winter2011/Christmas collection.
