Twentieth-Century Harmony by Vincent Persichetti
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is clearly an excellent book if you know your chops and want some "from the trenches" knowledge. Most of it was beyond me, but the parts I did understand considerably changed my mind about what musical composition *is.* ...more

Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell by Simon Marlow

A bit outdated, but the stuff on STM is still great.

Rate this book
Clear rating
This book helped turn composition from "completely mysterious" into "that seems like something I could do." Much more actionable than most of the texts I've read on the topic, especially the appendix on sketching. Strongly recommended. ...more
Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle
