Sonority

The widely-spaced opening sonority of Puccini’s overture provided the template for the Silver Screen when conjuring the immense distance traversed by Manifest Destiny.

Gut strings produce a sonority far different from steel, generally described as softer and sweeter.

If the coda consists of a consonant cluster, the sonority decreases from left to right, as in the English word help.

In England, the Kirkman and Shudi firms produced sophisticated harpsichords of great power and sonority.

Moreover, the combination of three different horns creates issues with sonority, because the piping shared among all three sides (that is, the lead pipe and bell) are mathematically disproportional to two or all three horn lengths.

Some classical violin parts have notes for which the composer requests the violinist to play an open string, because of the specific sonority created by an open string.

This is called the sonority profile. citation English onset and coda clusters are therefore different.
