Book Synopsis Form in Tonal Music by : Douglass Marshall Green
Download or read book Form in Tonal Music written by Douglass Marshall Green and published by Cengage Learning. This book was released on 1979 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many texts on musical analysis, FORMS IN TONAL MUSIC equips students to critically examine a wide range of compositions and forms. However, Green's text takes students a step further by enabling them to approach musical works unencumbered by preconceived notions of what characteristics the text should or should not have. Providing specific help on every aspect of musical analysis, this text uses many of the compositions found in Charles Burkhart's ANTHOLOGY FOR MUSICAL ANALYSIS, but it allows students the freedom to explore works that they already own.
Book Synopsis The Art of Tonal Analysis by : Carl Schachter
Download or read book The Art of Tonal Analysis written by Carl Schachter and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carl Schachter is the world's leading practitioner of Schenkerian theory and analysis. His articles and books have been broadly influential, and are seen by many as models of musical insight and lucid prose. Yet, perhaps his greatest impact has been felt in the classroom. At the Mannes College of Music, the Juilliard School of Music, Queens College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, and at special pedagogical events around the world, he has taught generations of musical performers, composers, historians, and theorists over the course of his long career. In Fall 2012, Schachter taught a doctoral seminar at the CUNY Graduate Center in which he talked about the music and the musical issues that have concerned him most deeply; the course was in essence a summation of his extensive and renowned teaching. In The Art of Tonal Analysis, winner of the Society for Music Theory's 2017 Citation of Special Merit, music theorist Joseph Straus presents edited transcripts of those lectures. Accompanied by abundant music examples, including analytical examples transcribed from the classroom blackboard, Straus's own visualizations of material that Schachter presented aurally at the piano, and Schachter's own extended Schenkerian graphs and sketches, this book offers a vivid account of Schachter's masterful pedagogy and his deep insight into the central works of the tonal canon. In making the lectures of one of the world's most extraordinary musicians and musical thinkers available to a wide audience, The Art of Tonal Analysis is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of music.
Book Synopsis Student Workbook to Accompany Analysis of Tonal Music by : Allen Cadwallader
Download or read book Student Workbook to Accompany Analysis of Tonal Music written by Allen Cadwallader and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guiding students systematically through the process of analysis, this extensively revised Student Workbook complements the fourth edition of Analysis of Tonal Music: A Schenkerian Approach. It presents works from a variety of instrumental settings, including four complete vocal works and excerpts from string quartets, symphonic movements, opera, chamber works, orchestral suites, sonatas and concertos, and solo piano works. Two-section chapters in Part 1 provide students with more guidance than the previous edition: Preliminaries offer a review of foundational Schenkerian terms and concepts--along with short excerpts and targeted practice exercises--while slightly lengthier excerpts for Analysis include guided tips. In Part 2, Analytical Applications (chapters 7-11), the scale of the excerpts gradually increases. Chapter 7 offers small-scale Ursatz patterns (8-20 bars); chapters 8 and 9 reinforce complete one- and two-part forms; and the final two chapters conclude with the study of ternary form and sonata process. This Student Workbook is available for separate purchase (978-0-19-0846688) or in money-saving bundles with the text.

Book Synopsis The Art of Post-Tonal Analysis by : Joseph N. Straus
Download or read book The Art of Post-Tonal Analysis written by Joseph N. Straus and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book consists of analyses of thirty-three musical passages or entire short works in a variety of post-tonal styles. The works under study are taken from throughout the long twentieth century, from 1909 to the present. Within the atonal wing of modern classical music, the composers discussed here, some canonical and some not, represent a diversity of musical style, chronology, geography, gender, and race/ethnicity. Composers studied include Schoenberg, Webern, Berg, Bartok, Stravinsky, Copland, Crawford-Seeger, Babbitt, Dallapiccola, Carter, Louise Talma, Hale Smith, Elisabeth Lutyens, Ursula Mamlok, Tania León, Tan Dun, Shulamit Ran, Kaija Saariaho, Joan Tower, John Adams, Sofia Gubaidulina, Thomas Adès, Caroline Shaw, Chen Yi, and Suzanne Farrin. The approach is pedagogical, in the somewhat informal style of a classroom. Musical examples and analytical videos carry the burden of the analytical argument, with relatively little prose. For each piece, the book suggests ways of making sense of the music, using basic concepts of post-tonal theory to tease out rich networks of musical relationships and reveal something of the fascination and beauty of this challenging music"--
Book Synopsis The Rhythms of Tonal Music by : Joel Lester
Download or read book The Rhythms of Tonal Music written by Joel Lester and published by Pendragon Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary focus of this book is accent which Lester argues is one of the major aspects of rhythm. The central question is not whether a note or event (rest point in time) is accented but how it is accented. This change of focus allows for the first time a thorough investigation into the factors that give rise to accent the relative importance of these factors in creating accentuation the way accents are perceived the way meter arises and the limits of metric organization on higher levels of structure.

Book Synopsis Tonality and Transformation by : Steven Rings
Download or read book Tonality and Transformation written by Steven Rings and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tonality and Transformation is a groundbreaking study in the analysis of tonal music. Focusing on the listener's experience, author Steven Rings employs transformational music theory to illuminate diverse aspects of tonal hearing - from the infusion of sounding pitches with familiar tonal qualities to sensations of directedness and attraction. In the process, Rings introduces a host of new analytical techniques for the study of the tonal repertory, demonstrating their application in vivid interpretive set pieces on music from Bach to Mahler. The analyses place the book's novel techniques in dialogue with existing tonal methodologies, such as Schenkerian theory, avoiding partisan debate in favor of a methodologically careful, pluralistic approach. Rings also engages neo-Riemannian theory-a popular branch of transformational thought focused on chromatic harmony-reanimating its basic operations with tonal dynamism and bringing them into closer rapprochement with traditional tonal concepts. Written in a direct and engaging style, with lively prose and plain-English descriptions of all technical ideas, Tonality and Transformation balances theoretical substance with accessibility: it will appeal to both specialists and non-specialists. It is a particularly attractive volume for those new to transformational theory: in addition to its original theoretical content, the book offers an excellent introduction to transformational thought, including a chapter that outlines the theory's conceptual foundations and formal apparatus, as well as a glossary of common technical terms. A contribution to our understanding of tonal phenomenology and a landmark in the analytical application of transformational techniques, Tonality and Transformation is an indispensible work of music theory.

Download or read book SchenkerGUIDE written by Thomas Pankhurst and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-05-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SchenkerGUIDE is an accessible overview of Heinrich Schenker's complex but fascinating approach to the analysis of tonal music. The book has emerged out of the widely used website, www.SchenkerGUIDE.com, which has been offering straightforward explanations of Schenkerian analysis to undergraduate students since 2001. Divided into four parts, SchenkerGUIDE offers a step-by-step method to tackling this often difficult system of analysis. Part I is an introduction to Schenkerian analysis, outlining the concepts that are involved in analysis Part II outlines a unique and detailed working method to help students to get started on the process of analysis Part III puts some of these ideas into practice by exploring the basics of a Schenkerian approach to form, register, motives and dramatic structure Part IV provides a series of exercises from the simple to the more sophisticated, along with hints and tips for their completion.
Download or read book Tonal Music written by Jeffrey Kresky and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A frequent approach to musical analysis is to consider one term or concept at a time, illustrating it with fragments of several compositions. But the format of this original and lucidly written book features entire tonal compositions, one per chapter, analyzed on several levels simultaneously. The author builds up from very simple musical forms, skillfully leading the reader through a measure-by-measure, indeed often beat-by-beat or note-by-note, analysis. The literature chosen for study is that of the standard common-practice period, ranging from Corelli to Debussy, and hence illustrates both the flexibility and the historical development of the tonal system. At the same time, Kresky suggests a structural view of the tonal system, and the pieces come to be viewed as instances of tonal language. Hence, each chapter addresses the two questions, 'What makes this item a piece?' and, more specifically, 'What makes it a tonal piece?' A concluding essay projects the development of music into the twentieth century, with implications for the analysis of nontonal music. The music discussed in five of the twelve chapters is supplied; the rest of the compositions are standard works. The analyses center on the pitch information of the pieces, with the various non-pitch compositional elements (primarily rhythm; secondarily dynamics, texture, timbre, and register) playing reinforcing roles. Pitch is studied vertically, for a detailed as well as an overall harmonic view, and horizontally, for a local as well as a long-range view. Ultimately, the author joins both approaches in an embracing two-dimensional summary of compositional unity. As a series of connecting essays, this book is intended both for classroom use and for professional reading. In the classroom, the work can serve as a principal text in an undergraduate or graduate analysis course or seminar, or as an adjunct text in a variety of places in the theory and counterpoint curriculum. As professional reading, the book brings the reader through various pieces of music according to the observations of one listener who is sensitive and concerned, as both composer and teacher, about musical coherence.
