EspañolPOLYCHORD
In music and music theory a 'bichord' or 'polychord' consists of two or more chords, one on top of the other.
The use of polychords may suggest bitonality or polytonality. Harmonic parallelism may suggest bichords.
Examples may be found in Igor Stravinsky's ''Petrushka'', p.15, and ''Rite of Spring'', "Dance of the Adolescents" (1921) (DeLone et al. 1975, p.336).
Extended chords contain more than one triad, and so can be regarded as a type of polychord:
★ secundal
★ tertian
★ quartal
