This volume of 'Harmony and Melody' carries the approach and method of Vol. I further along the path. The study of harmony leads from secondary dominants, modulation, diminished sevenths,and ninth chords to more complex areas of chromatic borrowed and altered chords and finally, to the vigorous appearance of complex modern techniques. At the same time, the study of melody, starting with the period, double period, phrase group, and two- and three-part forms, leads to contemporary melodic practice. In this volume, as in its predecessor, general principals are derived directly from the music of the masters; and no artificial barriers are raised between various musical styles or periods. The spectrum shifts broadly from Monteverdi to Bartok and back again from Ives to Claude le Jeune, with passing salutes to Chopin or Wagner, to Gershwin or Burton Lane, along the way.

Harmony and Melody, Vol. 2: Modulation, Chromatic and Modern Styles

It is always a shame when art -- an aspect of life that should arouse wonder and enthusiasm -- is cloaked in academic dullness. ...Many of the assignments in this workbook call for a good deal of composition. In English class you write themes, in a harmony class you will invent melodies and chord progressions even though your dream is to be a pianist, clarinettist, singer or teacher, rather than a composer. Because it reveals the structure of music from the inside, the experience of composing is invaluable to every musician. Writing your own examples from the start, you will gradually become aware of the inner dynamics of musical form and style. This workbook has 17 chapters, from musical motion and the tonic triad to four-part harmony, piano-style harmony and suspension and pedal point.
