Overturning the inherited belief that popular music is unrefined,
Form as Harmony in Rock Music brings the process-based approach of
classical theorists to popular music scholarship. Author Drew
Nobile offers the first comprehensive theory of form for 1960s,
70s, and 80s classic rock repertoire, showing how songs in this
genre are not simply a series of discrete elements, but rather
exhibit cohesive formal-harmonic structures across their entire
timespan. Though many elements contribute to the cohesion of a
song, the rock music of these decades is built around a
fundamentally harmonic backdrop, giving rise to distinct types of
verses, choruses, and bridges. Nobile's rigorous but readable
theoretical analysis demonstrates how artists from Bob Dylan to
Stevie Wonder to Madonna consistently turn to the same
compositional structures throughout rock's various genres and
decades, unifying them under a single musical style. Using over 200
transcriptions, graphs, and form charts, Form as Harmony in Rock
Music advocates a structural approach to rock analysis, revealing
essential features of this style that would otherwise remain below
our conscious awareness.
