Download or read book Fundamentals of Musical Composition written by Arnold Schoenberg and published by Gardners Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Musical Composition represents the culmination of more than forty years in Schoenberg's life devoted to the teaching of musical principles to students and composers in Europe and America. For his classes he developed a manner of presentation in which 'every technical matter is discussed in a very fundamental way, so that at the same time it is both simple and thorough'. This book can be used for analysis as well as for composition. On the one hand, it has the practical objective of introducing students to the process of composing in a systematic way, from the smallest to the largest forms; on the other hand, the author analyses in thorough detail and with numerous illustrations those particular sections in the works of the masters which relate to the compositional problem under discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Composers Who Want to Compose Coherent Music The Elements of Music Composition gives composers the missing puzzle piece that makes it possible to create musical works that endure and become richer and more meaningful with each performance. Composers learn to create a composition that grows out of a single seed and connects the different disciplines within music composition. Applying the concepts in this book will help composers create highly effective works that resonate with audiences. The education of a composer typically includes instruction in subject areas that are designed to teach composers about the methods that composers of the past used to create original works. Counterpoint teaches composers to combine multiple melodies. Music theory teaches chords and progressions. Orchestration colors a musical work and adds depth. Form serves as the container for expansive musical ideas. These cornerstones of music composition are important to the development of a composer's technique and skill, but they do not teach how to think like a composer. The Elements of Music Composition introduces a concept of coherence to bring all of these components together into a single theory of composition that is flexible, does not demand adherence to strict rules, and teaches composers to think like the master composers of the past. Think about music in an entirely different way. Learn to compose music where every element is critical to the whole. This book provides the missing puzzle piece for composers who want to learn how elements in music work together to create an organic and coherent musical work. Designed for Composers of All Levels Pulling back the veil to reveal how master composers create original works Deconstructing the dogma associated with the seemingly impenetrable art of music composition is a primary aim of this work. Composers are introduced to the concept of organic music and begin to develop an understanding of how coherence and comprehensibility play a major role in the creation of musical works. Understand the Principles Composers Use to Create Masterworks Music theory is only a stepping stone to the creation of original music compositions Music theory teaches a composer to create derivative music of an established style. While music theory is essential to learning how the masters constructed their musical works, it doesn't necessarily teach composers anything about writing original music. This book shines a light on the process of composing music by showing composers how to use melody, harmony, form, orchestration, and counterpoint in a connected process where every element contributes to the composition and serves a role. A Practical Approach to Music Composition Without Arbitrary Exercises The craft of music composition is revealed through a careful review of the elements of music Composers will not complete exercises, improve technique, or learn the typical concepts addressed in your average music composition course. Travel deep inside the process of composing to reveal fundamental principles that can be applied to almost any style of music. Generic exercises that instruct a composer to create a melody on an established chord progression, fix voice leading errors, and create modulations to scripted keys do not encourage original thought. Music Composition Technique Series: Vol. I The Elements of Music composition starts composers on a path of musical mastery. The complete four-volume series serves as a complete education in music composition. Volume II develops the composer's technique and inner ear. Volume III teaches composers the craft of counterpoint and harmony. Volume IV completes the training by refining the composer's craft and turning it into art.

Download or read book Johann Sebastian Bach written by Karl Geiringer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it was originally published in 1967, this study of J.S. Bach was the first important work on the composer in nearly a generation. The many discoveries about Bach’s life and music that occurred in the postwar years created the need for a new interpretative study incorporating this research and this was the only book which incorporated the vast amount of material uncovered since 1950, the bicentennial of Bach’s death. The volume begins with a brief biography and is followed by an analysis of each major type of composition: vocal, organ, keyboard and instrumental music. In each section the author examines thoroughly many Bach compositions and evaluates them in relation to the rest of the composer’s work, as well as in relation to the music of his contemporaries. More than 70 music examples enable the reader to understand how Bach worked, the manner in which his genius developed and grew, and to see outstanding excerpts from his music in various stages of completion. An interesting aspect of research methods is revealed through an explanation of the detective work which has been done regarding handwriting, paper and watermarks in the original sources.
