Rock Tonality Amplified : A Theory of Modality, Harmonic Function, and Tonal Hierarchy Hardback
by Brett Clement
Part of the Routledge Studies in Music Theory series
Hardback
Description
Rock Tonality Amplified presents an in-depth exploration of rock tonality.
Building on several decades of research, this book develops a comprehensive music theory designed to make sense of several essential components of tonality.
Within, readers learn to locate the chords they hear through various methods, to understand and predict harmonic resolution tendencies, and to identify the functions of chords as they appear in musical contexts.
Further, the book offers a conceptual framework to describe tonal relations that are played out through entire songs, allowing readers to recognize the features that contribute to tonal unity in songs and the ones that are employed to create musical drama. The book contributes to a wealth of methodologies in music theory, making it of broad interest to music scholars and students.
Further, it balances speculative and practical approaches so that it has clear applications for analysis and pedagogy.
It includes numerous musical figures and cites hundreds of songs from a wide variety of artists.
Each chapter concludes with additional practice activities, allowing for easy adaptation to various pedagogical purposes.
