A brand new introduction to harmonic theory! A concise yet comprehensive treatment of harmonic and voice-leading principles using tonal compositions from traditional, folk, popular, jazz, rock, and classical repertories of the 17th-20th centuries. This text combines traditional chordal analysis with recent analytical methods to help explain harmonic function in a linear framework. Its attractive, two-color design sets off special sections that deal with specific harmonic processes, partwriting procedures, and explorations of formal structure.
