This book is about how music "in a key" is composed. Further, it is
about how such music was composed when it was no longer compulsory
to do so, starting a few years before the First World War. In an
eclectic journey through the history of compositional technique,
Daniel Harrison contends that the tonal system did not simply die
out with the dawn of twentieth century, but continued to supplement
newer techniques as a compelling means of musical organization,
even into current times. Well-known art music composers such as
Bartok, Hindemith, Prokofiev, and Messiaen are represented
alongside composers whose work moves outside the standard
boundaries of art music: Leonard Bernstein, Murice Durufle, Frank
Martin, Xiaoyong Chen. Along the way, the book attends to military
bugle calls, a trailer before a movie feature, a recomposition of a
famous piece by Arnold Schoenberg, and the music of Neil Diamond,
David Shire, and Brian Wilson. A celebration of the awesome variety
of musical expressions encompassed in what is called tonal music,
Pieces of Tradition is a book for composers seeking ideas and
effects, music theorists interested in its innovations, and all
those who practice the analysis of composition in all its modern
and traditional variations.
