Most classical musicians, whether in orchestral or ensemble
situations, will have to face a piece by composers such as Ligeti,
Messiaen, Varese or Xenakis, while improvisers face music
influenced by Dave Holland, Steve Coleman, Aka Moon, Weather
Report, Irakere or elements from the Balkans, India, Africa or
Cuba. Rafael Reina argues that today's music demands a new approach
to rhythmical training, a training that will provide musicians with
the necessary tools to face, with accuracy, more varied and complex
rhythmical concepts, while keeping the emotional content. Reina
uses the architecture of the South Indian Karnatic rhythmical
system to enhance and radically change the teaching of rhythmical
solfege at a higher education level and demonstrates how this
learning can influence the creation and interpretation of complex
contemporary classical and jazz music. The book is designed for
classical and jazz performers as well as creators, be they
composers or improvisers, and is a clear and complete guide that
will enable future solfege teachers and students to use these
techniques and their methodology to greatly improve their
rhythmical skills. An accompanying website of audio examples helps
to explain each technique. For examples of composed and improvised
pieces by students who have studied this book, as well as concerts
by highly acclaimed karnatic musicians, please copy this link to
