第六課：和絃調聲

Composers will often arrange the notes of a chord in numerous ways in order to vary its sound. This process is called voicing.
（作曲家經常會為了讓和絃的音響不同，把一個和絃的音符按照不同的方式排列。這叫做調聲）
To demonstrate this, we will voice an F major triad in root position.
（我們用F的大三和弦的基本音位演示一下）
Notice that we can arrange the notes in any order as long as F, A, and C are used and F is the lowest note.
（注意，只要同時用到了F、A、C三個音符且F是最低音，我們就可以將音符排列成不同的順序）

Next, we will voice an F major triad in first inversion.
（接下來我們來將F的大三和弦的第一轉位調聲）
By definition, a chord is in first inversion when the third is the lowest note. Thus, we need to make sure that each of our voicings uses A for the bottom note.
（從定義上說，和絃的第一轉位元就意味著我們需要將三音保持在最低音的位置，所以A要保持在最低音）

Finally, we will voice an F major triad in second inversion.
（接下來我們將F的大三和弦的第二轉位調聲）
The process is the same; however, we must be certain that the fifth (C) is used as the lowest note.
（步驟相同，但我們一定要保證五音（C）是最低音）
