Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of musical composition has been marked by a didactic, technique-based approach, focusing on the understanding of musical language and grammar -harmony, counterpoint, orchestration and arrangement - or on generic and stylistic categories. In the field of the psychology of music, the study of musical composition, even in the twenty-first century, remains a poor cousin to the literature which relates to musical perception, music performance, musical preferences, musical memory and so on. Our understanding of the compositional process has, in the main, been informed by anecdotal after-the-event accounts or post hoc analyses of composition. The Act of Musical Composition: Studies in the Creative Process presents the first coherent exploration around this unique aspect of human creative activity. The central threads, or key themes - compositional process, creative thinking and problem-solving - are integrated by the combination of theoretical understandings of creativity with innovative empirical work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can hum it, but can you write it down? When most people think of a composer, they picture a bewigged genius like Mozart or Beethoven frenetically directing mighty orchestras in the ornate palaces of Vienna. While that may have been the case once upon a time, modern composers make themselves heard far beyond the classical conservatoire and concert hall. These days, soundtracks are in high demand in industries such as TV, film, advertising, and even gaming to help create immersive and exciting experiences.

To help you translate your musical ideas from fleeting tunes in your head to playable bars and notation on paper, professional composer and instructor Scott Jarrett and music journalist Holly Day take you on a friendly step-by-step journey through the process of musical creation, including choosing the right rhythms and tempos, creating melodies and chord progressions, and working with instruments and voices. You’ll learn how to match keys and chords to mood, use form to enhance your creativity, and write in different styles from pop to classical—and you'll even learn how to keep hammering away when inspiration eludes you. Organize and preserve your musical ideas Formalize your knowledge with professional vocabulary Get familiar with composition apps and software Make a demo and market on social media Filled with musical exercises to help you acquire the discipline you need for success, Music Composition For Dummies has everything you need to turn your inner soundtrack into a tuneful reality!

This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE. THE advantages accruing from a knowledge of Harmony are not sufficiently understood, except by those who are ambitious to compose. Every singer, performer, teacher, and critic is benefited in knowing the principles of chord succession, harmonization, etc. Pianists who possess this information have an immense advantage in the knowledge that modulatory tones, suspensions and appoggiaturas are accented; that dissonances are to be connected with the consonances to which they resolve; that passing tones are unaccented; that anticipations are slightly marked, and that different kinds of cadences require different kinds of punctuation. As an aid to sight-reading (that most necessary accomplishment) a knowledge of Harmony is indispensable, for it enables one to anticipate a considerable portion of music by being familiar with the notation, resolution and progression of chords in general. Our present system of music has been gradually evolved during centuries of artistic and scientific progress. Some of the world's greatest geniuses laid the foundation, built up the structure and added the ornamentation. The theorist has, therefore, but little to do beyond that of presenting the material of composition and showing how this has been employed. Certain principles and theories may be deduced from the music of a Beethoven, and these are to be systemized and explained. But while the creative impulse in music continues to manifest itself it must be unfettered by arbitrary rules and prohibitions. Recent composers, in their use of harmony, have gone far beyond the formulas and precepts of textbooks. It is no longer possible, according to existing systems of theory, or of acoustics, to explain the harmonic structure of such works as Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre, Grieg's Norwegian Dances, Tchaikovsky's Francesca da Rimini, or the later music-dramas of Wagner. These creators of music followed a higher law than didactic theorem, and the theorist should act only intermediately, explaining to the student the artistic phenomena of cause and effect. During the past twenty-four years since this system was commenced the author has confined himself principally to this task: 1. To present the material and technic of composition in systematic and graded order. 2. To explain this analytically and clearly. 3. To illustrate the application of this material in the construction of music. 4. To show the esthetic effect (and, consequently, the object) of certain chords and progressions. These are the main features of the present system, which is based upon the actual results of composition rather than upon existing theoretical works; and whatever merits this book may possess are thus ascribed to the influence of Scarlatti, Couperin, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Wagner, Rubinstein, Dvorak, Gounod, Saint-Saens, Jensen, Lassen, Goldmark, Tchaikovsky, Grieg, and Mascagni, not to Zarlino, Rameau, Kirnberger, Gottfried Weber, Marx, Weitzmann, Richter, nor Riemann.
