The Musician's Guide to Theory and Analysis, Second Edition

Cd contains mp3 files for music examples from texbook and workbook.

Newly revised and updated with outstanding ancillaries, "The Musician's Guide to Theory and Analysis" gives you the hands-on tools you need to learn how music works. The text takes the phrase model approach, which considers how chords work together in "real" musical contexts to propel a piece of music forward. A rich, diverse repertoire of classical and popular styles -from Bach to Green Day- helps you apply theoretical concepts directly to performance, to ground and enhance your music making. The Music Examples Recordings include most of the short examples in the text and Workbook in mp3 format on DVD, packaged with the text, and are available for streaming from StudySpace.

Together with "The Musician's Guide to Aural Skills", the book guides you through all the skills you need to become a well-rounded, versatile musician. New to this Second Edition are chapters on counterpoint, invention and fughe, and popular music; and sections on the elements of music, diatonic harmony, and chromatic harmony have been thoroughly revised and expanded, with exciting new Anthology selections added. And "The Musician's Guide" still offers the clearest, most thorough introduction to post-tonal music available.
