Twentieth-Century Music Theory and Practice introduces a number of
tools for analyzing a wide range of twentieth-century musical
styles and genres. It includes discussions of harmony, scales,
rhythm, contour, post-tonal music, set theory, the twelve-tone
method, and modernism. Recent developments involving atonal voice
leading, K-nets, nonlinearity, and neo-Reimannian transformations
are also engaged. While many of the theoretical tools for analyzing
twentieth century music have been devised to analyze atonal music,
they may also provide insight into a much broader array of styles.
This text capitalizes on this idea by using the theoretical devices
associated with atonality to explore music inclusive of a large
number of schools and contains examples by such stylistically
diverse composers as Paul Hindemith, George Crumb, Ellen Taffe
Zwilich, Steve Reich, Michael Torke, Philip Glass, Alexander
Scriabin, Ernest Bloch, Igor Stravinsky, Bela Bartok, Sergei
Prokofiev, Arnold Schoenberg, Claude Debussy, Gyoergy Ligeti, and
Leonard Bernstein. This textbook also provides a number of
analytical, compositional, and written exercises. The aural skills
supplement and online aural skills trainer on the companion website
allow students to use theoretical concepts as the foundation for
analytical listening. Access additional resources and online
