Synopsis
This book delves into the art of harmony, a fundamental element of music composition that has captivated musicians for centuries. Through a structured approach rooted in the principles established by J. Phil. Rameau, the author guides readers through a comprehensive course of exercises and study, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to master this essential aspect of music. The book meticulously examines the various types of chords and their specific functions within the diatonic scale, offering a detailed explanation of how these chords interact and resolve. The author then introduces the concept of "unessential notes," exploring how these notes contribute to melodic and harmonic complexity. This exploration is further enriched by a deep dive into harmonic modulation, a technique that allows composers to seamlessly shift between keys and create a sense of musical journey. Throughout the book, the author seamlessly blends theoretical principles with practical application, providing numerous examples and exercises to reinforce concepts and solidify understanding. This practical focus enables readers to translate theoretical knowledge into tangible musical expression. The bookâ s detailed analysis of harmony and its potential for manipulation offers valuable insights into the rich and expressive possibilities of musical composition.
