Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music theorists have long believed that 19th-century triadic progressions idiomatically extend the diatonic syntax of 18th-century classical tonality, and have accordingly unified the two repertories under a single mode of representation. Post-structuralist musicologists have challenged this belief, advancing the view that many romantic triadic progressions exceed the reach of classical syntax and are mobilized as the result of a transgressive, anti-syntactic impulse. In Audacious Euphony, author Richard Cohn takes both of these views to task, arguing that romantic harmony operates under syntactic principles distinct from those that underlie classical tonality, but no less susceptible to systematic definition. Charting this alternative triadic syntax, Cohn reconceives what consonant triads are, and how they relate to one another. In doing so, he shows that major and minor triads have two distinct natures: one based on their acoustic properties, and the other on their ability to voice-lead smoothly to each other in the chromatic universe. Whereas their acoustic nature underlies the diatonic tonality of the classical tradition, their voice-leading properties are optimized by the pan-triadic progressions characteristic of the 19th century. Audacious Euphony develops a set of inter-related maps that organize intuitions about triadic proximity as seen through the lens of voice-leading proximity, using various geometries related to the 19th-century Tonnetz. This model leads to cogent analyses both of particular compositions and of historical trends across the long nineteenth century. Essential reading for music theorists, Audacious Euphony is also a valuable resource for music historians, performers and composers.

Along with everything else she does at the family's lodge, Leah McNamara also finds the time to write music, using it as an outlet for the things she's experiencing in her life. Leah would be perfectly content with her life at the lodge and her music if she wasn't worried about the secrets she's kept hidden from her family that are now threatening to be revealed. If that were to happen, the betrayal her mom and siblings would feel could damage everything. The realization of his dream had been like a beautiful song, until someone else's actions brings it all to an end. Gavin Colley is unsettled, set adrift when the popular contemporary Christian music group he'd founded crashes and burns in a fiery scandal. When he hears a song being sung by a woman whose voice resonates with him, he sets off to convince her to write and record a song with him. He hopes it might help to give him the direction he needs to move forward. As he bides his time, waiting for the right moment to ask her to collaborate with him, Gavin finds himself intrigued by the prickly woman. Being around her is the perfect distraction from the mess his career is in. But there's also something more there that he hadn't expected to find when he'd made his way to New Hope Falls. When Gavin shows up at the lodge, Leah knows who he is and what's happened. She has long admired his talent as a fellow musician, so she finds herself getting closer to him than she would normally with a guest at the lodge. But even as they draw closer, Leah knows that anything beyond friendship is impossible. Their lives don't harmonize since Gavin's life is on the other side of the country and he's frequently on tour, while Leah prefers being behind the scenes and helping at her family's lodge.

Download or read book Chromatic Transformations in Nineteenth Century Music written by David Kopp and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-12-21 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Kopp's book develops a model of chromatic chord relations in nineteenth-century music by composers such as Schubert, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, and Brahms. The emphasis is on explaining chromatic third relations and the pivotal role they play in theory and practice. Drawing on tenets of nineteenth-century harmonic theory, contemporary transformation theory, and the author's own approach, the book presents a clear and elegant means for characterizing commonly acknowledged but loosely defined elements of chromatic harmony. The historical and theoretical argument is supplemented by many analytic examples.

Book excerpt: An Invitation From Gay HendricksI am thrilled and delighted to offer to you the new edition of Learning To Love Yourself. Revisiting and rewriting the book has been a pleasure from beginning to end. With its new elements, the book comes alive in a whole new way.Looking back over more than three decades to the moment of its conception, I can now see how writing this book changed my life in every way.I first wrote it as an act of love, to share an experience that feels as if it's still transforming me in my very cells. It was my hope that telling about the experience could inspire the same profound life-changes in others. The many thousands of letters, emails and spoken appreciations I've received since then let me know that my hope came true.The experience described in the book revealed the living mystery of love to me, allowing me to feel its sweet power for the first time. Because I suddenly knew what real love felt like, I was able to break free of my pattern of painful relationships with women. Ultimately it helped me find my way to Kathlyn, the love of my life and my wife for the past quarter-century.The new edition is ideal for giving to loved ones (including yourself!) who are on the journey to forgiving, accepting and loving themselves. It tells you how I came to an acceptance and unconditional love of even the most difficult-to-love parts of myself.My fondest wish is that you use it for exactly the same purpose, with exactly the same result.
