A comprehensive survey of basic and harmonic and melodic materials for the present - day composer and arranger.
FOREWORD
This book has been written with the intention of serving:
1. The beginner who needs a text which will provide a thorough understanding of the theory which underlies the harmony of modern (North) American arranging, jazz, and all areas of composition which use scales and chords as a starting point. The text assumes only that the beginner has a basic ability to read music, a knowledge of the treble and bass staffs, a little playing and listening experience, and an interest.
The novice arranger, who is often hampered by the lack of a proper foundation in harmonic technique and part movement.
The professional arranger or composer, who may find that this codification of harmonic principles will provide him with a deeper understanding, and perhaps some fresh avenues of musical thought.
