Atonal Harmony is a theoretical construct in music theory that identifies harmonic structures and relationships in atonal music by eschewing traditional tonal hierarchies and functional progressions, instead emphasizing intervallic content, set-class associations, and voice-leading coherence within a non-tonal framework.
