What's the difference between harmonize and transition?

Harmonize


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To agree in action, adaptation, or effect on the mind; to agree in sense or purport; as, the parts of a mechanism harmonize.
  • (v. i.) To be in peace and friendship, as individuals, families, or public organizations.
  • (v. i.) To agree in vocal or musical effect; to form a concord; as, the tones harmonize perfectly.
  • (v. t.) To adjust in fit proportions; to cause to agree; to show the agreement of; to reconcile the apparent contradiction of.
  • (v. t.) To accompany with harmony; to provide with parts, as an air, or melody.

Transition


Definition:

  • (n.) Passage from one place or state to another; charge; as, the transition of the weather from hot to cold.
  • (n.) A direct or indirect passing from one key to another; a modulation.
  • (n.) A passing from one subject to another.
  • (n.) Change from one form to another.

Example Sentences:
