Musical harmony was invented in the late 800s A.D. Singers in monasteries like St. Gall in Switzerland improved the basic chant by adding a voice in parallel motion in order to sign in mostly perfect fourths or fifths along with the original tune. This was the beginning of musical harmony, and is known as [[organum]]. It later developed into [[counterpoint]].
