Unison
Glossary
One or more instruments or voices playing the same note at the same time constitute a unison (assuming they are in tune). This the closest thing in harmony to an interval of a “first,” which is not a real term in harmony; the smallest interval is the minor second. In musical set theory unison intervals and octave intervals are treated as equivalent since they are octave equivalent.
