What is the science behind “overlapping” in songs, and how they make it sound nice?

309 views

I was listening to “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from the Disney movie Encanto, and in the end all the main characters sing different parts of the song at the same time. It sounds chaotic, but in a great way, so I was wondering what they had to pay attention to when composing the song, so that this part will be enjoyable.

I haven’t seen the movie you mention but it looks like the word you look for is a canon. (Very) basically the idea is that you compose your song / melody so the overlapping parts form consonant chords of the scale you use an it sounds good (easier said than done obviously)
