		<description><![CDATA[Hmm&#8230;the blog post title sounds like a mashup of my two favorite musical elements! Well, it is&#8230;but leaning more towards the rhythmic aspects of when and where chords move. In other words, harmonic rhythm refers to the rate of chord change or how often one chord progresses to another. Most songs or compositions are written in&#8230;]]></description>
