Hearing Harmony" offers a listener-based, philosophical-psychological theory of harmonic effects for Anglophone popular music since the 1950s. It begins with chords, their functions and characteristic hierarchies, then identifies the most common and salient harmonic-progression classes, or harmonic schemas. The identification of these schemas, as well as the historical contextualization of many of them, allows for systematic exploration of the repertory's typical harmonic transformations (such as chord substitution) and harmonic ambiguities. Doll provides readers with a novel explanation of the assorted aural qualities of chords, and how certain harmonic effects result from the interaction of various melodic, rhythmic, textural, timbral, and extra-musical contexts, and how these interactions can determine whether a chordal riff is tonally centered or tonally ambiguous, whether it sounds aggressive or playful or sad, whether it seems to evoke an earlier song using a similar series of chords, whether it sounds conventional or unfamiliar

In this concise and engaging analysis of rock music, music theorist Ken Stephenson explores the features that make this internationally popular music distinct from earlier music styles. The author offers a guided tour of rock music from the 1950's to the present, emphasizing the theoretical underpinnings of the style and, for the first time, systematically focusing not on rock music's history or sociology, but on the structural aspects of the music itself. What structures normally happen in rock music? What theoretical systems or models might best explain them? The book addresses these questions and more in chapters devoted to phrase rhythm, scales, key determination, cadences, harmonic palette and succession, and form. Each chapter provides richly detailed analyses of individual rock pieces from groups including Chicago; the Beatles; Emerson, Lake, and Palmer; Kansas; and others. Stephenson shows how rock music is stylistically unique, and he demonstrates how the features that make it distinct have tended to remain constant throughout the past half-century and within most substyles. For music students at the college level and for practicing rock musicians who desire a deeper understanding of their music, this book is an essential resource.

"Philippe Gordien présente et analyse une trentaine d'œuvres du compositeur français Émile Goué (1904-1946) : d'un grand intérêt musicologique, ces textes sont également le témoignage d'un musicien proche du compositeur au moment de l'acte créateur. Au fil des pages, les caractéristiques de cette musique originale se révèlent : tonalité élargie allant jusqu'à la polytonalité, variation décorative, monothématisme, simultanéité chromatique, superposition de rythmes binaire/ternaire... Basée sur une technique solide, lourde de sens musical et dramatique, la musique de Goué est avant tout l'expression d'une vie intérieure intense. Ces analyses sont complétées par plus de 300 notes de bas de page approfondissant les propositions de Gordien ou renvoyant aux écrits du compositeur, faisant de cet ouvrage une référence pour pénétrer et comprendre l'univers gouéen."--Page 4 of cover.
