"A self-contained and comprehensive college textbook, this new work provides the basis for both the one-year course in elementary harmony and the two-year course which includes advanced harmony. A new and more effective approach to this traditional music discipline has long been needed. Accordingly, Professor Forte has provided students of music with a fresh treatment of bases of harmony--one which will lead to a more effective understanding of tonal music. Tradition has by no means been minimized, but many fresh ideas replace older (and, sometimes, inadequate) ones. For example: more comprehensive ideas of harmonic structure, a schema of modulatory progression, and an uncomplicated, learnable system of chord classification are presented here for the first time. The chapters dealing with modulation and melodic structure and development shed new light on those areas. Each section is brief, well-defined, and amply illustrated with musical examples. Emphasis is placed upon composition and analysis. These essential experiences give the general music student a firm foundation in the understanding of harmony--the how as well as the why, the underlying concepts as well as the techniques for manipulating specific materials." --Dust jacket flap.

Tonal 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.
