With simple, elegant tools, Harmony for Composers and Arrangers explores the harmonic grammar of twentieth- and twenty-first-century Western popular music and presents a streamlined overview of the harmonic issues arrangers and composers encounter when working in these music traditions. Author and seasoned educator Nicholas Urie unites the musical worlds of theory and arranging to illuminate the many options and techniques available to composers, arrangers, and students.The book is organized as a glossary of conventional harmonic sounds that composers and arrangers encounter while working in Western popular music styles such as pop, jazz, folk, rock, and gospel. Building on the fundamental rules governing major key diatonic scale degree tendencies, Urie demonstrates how diatonic chords create a gravitational system as a result of the tensions inherent in the major scale--a system that forms the basis for contemporary Western popular music. Throughout the book, Urie addresses major and minor keys in tandem, covering chromaticism, the three most common types of modulation (direct, pivot, and sequential modulation), diatonic chords derived from Composite Minor, and secondary and substitute dominant chords. The book concludes with two full, original arrangements to demonstrate how the lessons learned can be put to practical use. Both arrangements show the original chord progressions of the songs along with an analysis of how they were altered in the arrangement process. Recordings of both arrangements are available on an accompanying website to enable readers to follow along with the scores.

In this enchanting volume, a combination of an artist’s sketchbook and an architectural design statement, Architect Warren Schwartz, a Founding Principal at the renowned Boston based firm of Schwartz/Silver and lead architect for the Shaw Center for the Arts and Tanglewood House among many other works, explores how music has influenced his practice. Looking back over his career and life experiences, Schwartz remembers how specific live performances, composers, musicians and pieces of music inspired many of the shapes and forms that would subsequently appear in his architectural plans and designs, and shares the drawings he immediately sketched out in these moments of transportation, pairing them with the works of architecture for which they provided the basis.
