Elements of Music Composition: Organicism. Coherence. Comprehensibility. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798648253766)

Deepen Your Knowledge and Learn to Create Musical Connections

The biggest mistake young composers make is that they don't know what subjects to study. If you are just starting out on the path of composing music, you must read this book. The Elements of Music Composition teaches you about the most important subjects a composer must study to become adept.

A Rigid Approach to Composing Music

Years of composition lessons, music theory, studying form, and learning counterpoint are effective ways to develop your skill and become a better composer, but these subjects are often taught in disconnected and unrelated ways. You need a guide that shows you how the elements of music complement each other.

Every new composition presents challenges that a composer must first isolate and then solve. Each new piece you write will present new questions that require different solutions. With each new piece you compose, you'll further temper your approach to composition and refine your style.

The Elements of Music Composition is your starting point for becoming an independent and influential composer who understands how the different parts of a composition connect and relate to each other. This book serves as a starting point so you can focus on the most important subjects for a composer.

Music is not found in voice-leading or theoretical constructs but in the age-old process of telling a story and developing your ideas cohesively and comprehensively. The Elements of Music Composition teaches you how to find the characters in your story so that you can take the audience on a musical journey.

The Elements of Music Composition Starts You on the Right Path

When I first started learning to compose, there was very little information available about the actual process of composition. This book helps you start your journey on the right foot by helping you see the connections between the various aspects of music composition.
