("just a bit of fun trivia" ...so you felt it was worth noting. Also, the Bob's Burgers example explicitly states that it's a TRIO, with only 2 of the 3 on the same page emotionally.) |

Alice and Bob are taking part in a duet, whether it be an original song produced for the show or an already-"established" piece used for the scene. However, while they might be performing the same song - and thus, more likely than not, singing about the same subject - how they ''feel'' about it couldn't be any more wildly different. |

One singer has one emotion, another singer has a wildly different emotion. They are probably apart and singing about their own situation. |

Despite the name, this '''Duet Mood Dissonance''' can involve a trio, quartet or more - the focal point is the difference in tone between two or more of the singers participating, which is usually accompanied by a change in instruments and key between their parts. |

Alice and Bob are taking part in a duet, whether it be an original song produced for the show or an already-"established" piece used for the scene. However, while they might be performing the same song - and thus, more likely than not, singing about the same subject - how they feel about it couldn't be any more wildly different.
Despite the name, this Duet Mood Dissonance can involve a trio, quartet or more - the focal point is the difference in tone between two or more of the singers participating, which is usually accompanied by a change in instruments and key between their parts.
Compare and contrast Lyrical Dissonance, in which the lyrics themselves contrast with other aspects of the song.
