Customer Reviews

Unusual harmonic motion!
A very interesting modern approach to conventional and unconventional harmony with some lovely exercises at the end of each chapter which such inspirational questions such as "rush some strings through a sequence of ascending fifths"! Had me in stitches. A useful book for university degree courses.

Practical and Inspirational
I have been reading this book off and on for over forty years. It is at one and the same time liberating, giving the student permission to write absolutely anything, yet also supportive in offering many systems of thought, backed up by a profusion of musical examples both from the writer as well as many other prominent C20th composers. I doubt if any would be composer could not find something (and probably many things) of use within its pages. Highly recommended.
