"Songwriting" is both a comprehensive course for beginning and
experienced songwriters and a rich source of new ideas,
inspiration, and tricks of the trade for those who have already
achieved professional standing. This new edition not only contains
all of the original volume's cogent advice on how to write the
always-popular genres - the country song, the ballad, and the love
song - but it has been revised to include: examples of hard rock,
acid, heavy metal, bubblegum, hip-hop, salsa, rap, gangsta, reggae,
ska, soul, and many other of today's most recorded styles; finding
a song concept, distilling the hook, choosing a form, adding
harmony and selecting rhythm; an appendix telling how to copyright,
computerize, notate, record, and sell your song; and full glossary
of musical and songwriting terms, an explanation of rap-speak with
a useful section on rhyme for rap songs, many musical examples of
well-known songs, and a complete index.For the novice, Stephen
Citron goes step-by-step through the writing of a song presupposing
no prior knowledge of notation, harmony, rhythmic values, or rhyme.
For the more experienced songwriter, "Songwriting" will serve as a
one-stop reference and as an endless source of fresh ideas.
