Harmony and Voice Leading
By Edward Aldwell, Carl Schachter, Allen Cadwallader
About your course materials
A clear and accessible volume spanning the entire theory course, HARMONY AND VOICE LEADING, 5th Edition, begins with coverage of basic concepts of theory and harmony and moves into coverage of advanced dissonance and chromaticism. It emphasizes the linear aspects of music as much as the harmonic, and introduces large-scale progressions--linear and harmonic--at an early stage. In the fifth edition, starting with Unit 4, the upper- and lower-case system of Roman numeral analysis has been incorporated to facilitate students’ recognition of chord quality. In addition, Schenker’s notion of linear progressions--an important concept in later, more advanced work in tonal analysis--is informally introduced in Unit 11. Available with MindTap Music, which includes the ebook with audio examples, Guided Listening Exercises for many units, quizzing and PDFs of the workbook exercises.

"Points for Review" at the end of each unit--before the exercises--offer brief, consecutively numbered summations of the key concepts covered in that unit.
Important points are summarized in boxes as needed throughout each unit to help students check the progress of their learning.
Exercises included at the end of each unit enable students to undertake such creative assignments as writing short progressions of various types and harmonizing melodies with unfigured/figured bass lines.
Each unit includes 10 to 40 musical examples--brief excerpts that illustrate the specific harmonic and voice-leading techniques discussed at that point. The musical examples are drawn primarily from masterpieces of concert repertoire, but a few abstract pieces composed by the authors are also included.
