Some music (songs) are written in two parts for a duet (usually they are a 
major third
apart), my question is why for some group of two people that perform the duet,
it sounds harmonized and for other, it does not sound harmonize although they 
sing in tune with respect to each others, does it have anything to do with the
voice?  I mean the different timbre of the voice?  (Say a guy with a guy, a
girl with a girl and a guy with a girl, which combination sounds the most
harmonized?)  Is  there any technique to harmonize?  ie the relative volume
etc...
