Abstract	Balancing theory and practice, this volume presents a four-part analysis of the basic components of harmony. Part one covers the rudiments of music theory, ensuring that students have a solid grasp of the fundamentals before going on to more advanced material. Parts two and three explore the principles of tertian harmony as they pertain to common practice, stressing learning by doing. After each new concept is introduced, several pages of carefully graduated exercises are presented. Part four surveys the important harmonic procedures of the twentieth century. The author also emphasizes the exposition of theoretical procedures rather than focusing on individual composer's interpretations of them. For additional reinforcement, teaching and learning aids include numerous musical examples, a note format that highlights important features in the examples, in-text drills and writing exercises, and suggestions and strategies to help students prepare for the exercises. Parts two, three, and four include analytical exercises cross-referenced with three major anthologies.
