TOWARDS TONALITY

Thomas Christensen, Penelope Gouk, Gérard Geay, Susan McClary, Markus Jans, Joel Lester, Marc Vanscheeuwijck

´Towards Tonality. Aspects of Baroque Music Theory´ is a collection of essays based on lectures presented at the International Orpheus Academy for Music & Theory 2004: "Historical Theory, Performance, and Meaning in Baroque Music" (April 14-18, 2004) with special focus on the national schools of Italy, France, and Germany".
Seven authors, Thomas Christensen, Penelope Gouk, Gérard Geay, Susan McClary, Markus Jans, Joel Lester and Marc Vanscheeuwijck, considered the often complex connections and intersections between, e.g., modal and tonal idioms, contrapuntal and harmonic organisation, from various perspectives (music theory, music history, performance practice, aesthetics and related sciences) as to the transition ("towards tonality") from the Renaissance to the Baroque era.
