4.0 out of 5 stars
Pity the second part never materialised,
This review is from: Haunschild : The New Harmony Book (Paperback)
"Haunschild: The New Harmony Book" is a very valuable resource for students of music theory.
It offers a comprehensive guide to important scales, including the major, harmonic minor, melodic minor and their "modes" obtained by starting on different notes of these scales. Each mode is explained with details of what chords can be used with it, along with the unusual concept of "avoid notes" which are described as very dissonant and thus unable to be used with certain scales. There is also a useful overview of the frequency ratios of all the most important intervals from the consonant unison to the dissonant tritone. There are also a number of other scales studied in the book, such as the pentatonic and "gypsy minor". The information here, unlike that in many books on music theory, is applicable to a very good range of instruments, which makes "The New Harmony Book" of wide value for musicians. According to Haunschild, a second volume was planned with more scales and more details of how these scales can be used. It is a pity this second volume failed entirely to materialise. |
