With this new edition, twenty-first century technology meets a time-honored tradition. Now available in McGraw-Hill Education’s Connect with SmartBook, students are better equipped to under stand and master the vocabulary of music efficiently, allowing them to move on more quickly to advanced musical skill-building. Connect is McGraw-Hill Education’s integrated educational platform, which seamlessly joins the superior content of Tonal Harmony with enhanced digital tools. Connect delivers precisely what students and instructors need, when and how they need it. SMARTBOOK ADAPTIVE EBOOK Available within Connect, SmartBook is a digital version of Tonal Harmony that contains the same content as the print textbook. Unlike a typical eBook, SmartBook makes study time as productive and efficient as possible and helps students master the musical vocabu- lary through an adaptive reading experience. SmartBook distinguishes what individual students know from what they don’t, and fo- cuses on concepts they are most likely to forget. SmartBook continuously adapts to each student’s needs by building a personalized learning path. An intelligent, adaptive study tool, SmartBook ensures that every minute spent reading is returned to the student as the most valuable minute possible. SmartBook gets music students back to the work that most inspires them, newly equipped with a more nuanced and robust command of the language of music. Additional features of the Tonal Harmony SmartBook include: • Embedded audio. Recordings of virtually every example from music literature found in the text, performed using the same instrumentation seen in the examples, is embed- ded in the SmartBook. This eliminates the need for students to purchase an additional audio package or access a separate website. • Interactive Drills. Embedded in the SmartBook and designed to complement the Self-Tests, new Interactive Drills offer students a wealth of hands-on practice as they read. vii kos4709X_fm_i-xxii.indd 7 10/01/17 11:44 AM viii Tonal Harmony • On-the-go access.

It offers a clear and thorough introduction to the resources and practice of Western music from the seventeenth century to the present day. Its concise, one-volume format and flexible approach make the book usable in a broad range of theory curricula. Approach The text provides students with a comprehensive but accessible and highly practical set of tools for the understanding of music. Actual musical practice is emphasized more than rules or prohibitions. Principles are explained and illustrated, and exceptions are noted. In its presentation of harmonic procedures, the text introduces students to the most common vocal and instrumental textures encountered in tonal music. Traditional four- part chorale settings are used to introduce many concepts, but three-part instrumental and vocal textures are also presented in illustrations and drill work, along with a variety of keyboard styles. To encourage the correlation of writing and performing skills, we have included musical examples in score and reduced-score formats, as well as appendices on in- strumental ranges and transpositions and lead-sheet symbols. Some of the assignments ask the student to write for small ensembles suitable for performance in class. Instructors may modify these assignments to make them most appropriate for their particular situations. Pedagogical Features The text employs a variety of techniques to clarify underlying voice leading, harmonic structure, counterpoint, and formal procedures. These include textural reductions, accom- panying many of the examples, which highlight underlying voice leading. Our goal has been to elucidate tonal logic at the phrase and section level, as well as from one chord to the next. Abundant musical illustrations, many with commentaries, serve as a springboard for class discussion and individual understanding. Similarly, exercises in tonal counterpoint allow students to observe the workings of basic principles of melodic combination in rela- tion to typical outer-voice textures in tonal compositions. The book provides an extensive series of review material. A large portion of the text is devoted to Self-Tests, consisting of student-graded drills in chord spelling, part writing, and analysis, with suggested answers given in Appendix D. The Self-Tests can be used for in-class drill and discussion, in preparation for the Workbook exercises, or for independent study. Periodic Checkpoints enable students to gauge their understanding of the preceding material. Chapter summaries highlight the key points of each chapter. A glossary of the bolded terms found throughout the text is also included. ix kos4709X_fm_i-xxii.indd 9 10/01/17 11:44 AM
