Designed for undergraduate music majors, Harmony in Context provides the richest possible musical context for the study of harmony, constantly encouraging students to translate what they are learning into better performances and better listening. The musical examples and anthology encompass a wide variety of different composers and repertoires. Students will particularly appreciate the clarity of the presentation and the attractiveness of the text’s layout, both of which enable a smooth progression through the material.
The annoying part: all the flipping back and forth you have to do in this book, and to the examples in the anthology. But the information is great mostly, and I rarely had much trouble following it.
