Revisiting Music Theory: A Guide to the Practice contains the
basics of music theory with the vocabulary used in harmonic and
formal analysis. The book assumes few music reading skills, and
progresses to include the basic materials of music from J. S. Bach
to the twentieth century. Based on Blatter's own three decades of
teaching music theory, this book is aimed at a one or two year
introductory course in music theory, can serve for individual
study, or as a review for graduate students returning to school.
Drawing examples from well-known classical works, as well as folk
and popular music, the book shows how theory is applied to
practice. The book is divided into five parts. The first part
introduces music notation, reviewing the basics of pitch, time, and
dynamics as represented in written music. Part 2 introduces the
concept of melody, covering modes, scales, scale degrees, and
melodic form. Part 3 introduces harmony, dealing with harmonic
progression, rhythm, and chord types. Part 4 addresses part writing
and harmonic analysis. Finally, Part 5 addresses musical form, and
how form is used to structure a composition. Revisiting Music
Theory will be a valuable textbook for students, professors, and
professionals.
