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.
