Description

Charlie Parker, Composer provides an in-depth analysis of the works of a major jazz composer. The study combines music-theoretical, historical, and philosophical perspectives to examine Parker's compositions.

The book explores the types of pieces categorized by overall form and harmony, as well as their preplanned music content. It also considers the historical circumstances of each piece, including sources of key tunes. A discussion on the ontology of a jazz composition is included in the introduction.

Reproductions of Parker's rights submissions to the Library of Congress are featured in the book, providing insight into his compositional practices and large-scale melodic formulas.
