Description
Foundations of Modern Harmony by Karel Janec̆ek is a comprehensive guide to the analysis and composition of music that moves beyond traditional tonal harmony. By developing a new vocabulary for describing all combinations of notes and chords, Janec̆ek's work provides a fresh perspective on the subject.
The book explores how to harmonize melodies, resolve dissonant chords, and create a sense of tonic, as well as discuss harmonic motion, function, modulation, atonal composition, and static and kinetic conceptions of harmony. First published in 1965, this translation into English brings Janec̆ek's important work to a new audience.
Janec̆ek's approach is an exciting complement to the theories of Schoenberg and Hindemith, making his book a valuable resource for music theorists and composers looking to expand their understanding of modern harmony.
