ACCORD

, according to the modern French music, is the union of two or more sounds heard at the same time, and forming together a regular harmony.

They divide Accords into persect and imperfect; and again into consonances and dissonances.

Accord is more commonly called Concord, which see.

Accord is also spoken of the state of an instrument, when its fixed sounds have among themselves all the justness that they ought to have.
