Book Research
Exploration of the Bach chorale style, through an extensive examination of the stylistic and
voice-leading principles of the pieces in an historical, theoretical context, avoiding the
theory-based-on-theory approach prevalent in many existing texts. The intent is to produce a
book aimed at guiding the college-level student to a level of knowledge necessary to successfully
harmonize a chorale melody in the style of Bach, in a logical, progressive manner, and to
provide a general music audience with an easily accessible resource for information on the
chorales. |
