{"product_id":"tonal-harmony","title":"Tonal Harmony","description":"\u003cp\u003eTonal Harmony with an Introduction to 20th-Century Music is intended for a two-year course in music theory\/harmony. It offers a clear and thorough introduction to the resources and practice of Western music from the 17th century to the present day. Its concise, one-volume format and flexible approach make the book usable in a broad range of theory curricula. The text provides students with a comprehensive but accessible and highly practical set of tools for the understanding of music. Actual musical practice is emphasized more than rules or prohibitions. Principles are explained and illustrated, and exceptions are noted. In its presentation of harmonic procedures, the text introduces students to the most common vocal and instrumental textures encountered in tonal music. Traditional four-part chorale settings are used to introduce many concepts, but three-part instrumental and vocal textures are also presented in illustrations and drill work, along with a variety of keyboard styles. To encourage the correlation of writing and performing skills, we have included musical examples in score and reduced-score formats as well as charts on instrumental ranges and transpositions. Some of the assignments ask the student to write for small ensembles suitable for performance in class. Instructors may modify these assignments to make them most appropriate for their particular situations. - Preface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Music, Religious\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e McGraw-Hill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0072897821\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"McGraw-Hill","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £15.60","offer_id":47908935696561,"sku":"SB-0072897821-C4","price":15.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/tonal-harmony","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
