Conceptually sophisticated and exceptionally musical, Harmonic Practice in Tonal Music provides a thorough treatment of harmony and voice-leading principles in tonal music.
Taking a linear functional approach, Professor Gauldin uses clear explanations and outstanding musical examples to show students how individual chords function in the overall structure of a piece, explaining how both harmonic and melodic forces contribute to the development of musical ideas. For the Second Edition, Professor Gauldin has undertaken a comprehensive revision that responds directly to the suggestions of instructors. The new text emphasizes fundamental concepts, using a more effective organization and simpler, more accessible language to bring the most important ideas and information to the foreground. The music literature examples included in the text are now available on this single CD-ROM with performances by students and faculty from the Eastman School of Music.- Sales Rank: #2711426 in Books

A Comprehensive Theory Text for Modern Students...
By Schenck Joseph
I quite enjoy professor Gauldin's harmony text. It was comprehensive and yes, as the publisher's review states concise. Personally, I studied theory/harmony out of several different texts (Benjamin, et.al.; Siegmeister; Kostka; Piston) as an undergraduate and on my own time and I find Gauldin's to be one of the best I have come across. While in theory pedagogy class I was able to study and dissect over two dozen texts from various regions and time periods. "Harmonic Practice..." is a modern text which is great today for the modern student. The use of basic Schenker reductions is an excellent idea and one that helps the students realize linear aspects of the music that many past harmony texts either ignore or too briefly discuss. Gauldin gives a nice balance of both the vertical and linear aspects of music throughout this text (it reminds somewhat,although much better, of Elie Siegmeister's "Harmony & Melody"). The overall appearance of the book is very similar to many of the current high school texts that students use today. This is a comfortable approach for students coming into theory for the first time or with little background in the area. Many of the reviews I have read seem to be critical in areas they know little of. Yes, Gauldin presents the basics (scales, chords, etc.), but many, many undergraduate level texts do so in order for review. Also, many critics have discussed professor Gauldin's scale building on 5ths. While this is in the text it is not the primary focus on scale construction, merely a footnote (p. 27). Overall this is a very good theory text for undergrauates which could and eventually will use some improvements (the misprint in the bass of the second mm. in Ex. 10 p. 107). This book gives much insight into many aspects of beginning theory, basic Schenker principles, voice-leading, form (the excursions are a great idea), and analysis that many other books in this field often neglect. Like most popular theroy texts, "Harmonic Practice" is excellent for an undergrad program, so long as the students have a teacher with a strong foundation in theory. I highly recommend this text.

Gauldin teaches theory from an historical perspective
By Benjamin Ayotte (benayotte@aol.com)
Robert Gauldin's textbook aims at instilling in the student an awareness of the linear forces that create music. In his preface, Gauldin states that traditional theory and functional harmonic analysis "tends to neglect the melodic aspects of the music and the way those linear forces shape the harmony." This point of view is heartily endorsed by this reviewer. The text is organized into four main sections: basic elements of music, diatonic harmony (including binary/ternary form), chromatic harmony (including sonata form and contrapuntal forms), and advanced chromatic techniques. Five appendices include acoustics, modes and scales, species counterpoint, Jazz and commercial music, and conducting patterns. The text purposes to introduce students to linear-reductive (i.e., Schenkerian) analysis on lower structural levels (reductions tend to be foreground and early middleground). As it is not a text in Schenkerian analysis per se, and as the more remote structural levels are progressively more difficult to perceive Gauldin does not burden the students with Schenker's more esoteric terminology for larger formal constructs. Gauldin also provides the student with an introduction to the implication-realization models of Leonard B. Meyer. The explanations of concepts are lucid and conversational; the analyses are insightful and reveal to the student the fundamental voice leading underlying a given passage. The text is very attractively produced, and joins the texts of Mitchell (Elementary Harmony), Aldwell & Schachter (Harmony & Voice Leading), and Forte (Tonal Harmony in Concept & Practice) in the task of attempting to enlighten and sensitize students to the melodic dimension of music, of which harmony is a by-product. An important by-product, to be sure, and one that in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries assumes the structural role held by melody in the previous centuries. Yet it is important to teach music theory from an historical perspective, and Gauldin's text does just this. He achieves a perfect balance between the vertical and the horizontal dimensions of music

Leave Harmonic Practice in the bookstores.
By A Customer
Gauldin's text is very frustrating to read because the language and presentation is loose and imprecise. He thoroughly confuses the topic of the diatonic scale by defining a semitone on p. 10 (note the misprint in the definition, which is repeated later in the text) by a rigorous method, and then on p. 27 suggests building the scale upward by perfect fifths. Why? The latter is a totally differnt scale and does not even close on the octave. You can't make a scale with only perfect fifths, but the author not only leaves you with the impression you can, but, in addition, that such a scale is the same as the equal tempered scale. If used at all, the concept of building from fifths ought to: 1. be clarified, and 2. introduced before the equal tempered scale rather than the reverse. This is one example. Similarly confusing treatments of basic concepts are found in every chapter.
The book lacks problem sets by chapter. Instead they are put into an overpriced additional book. The problems are often only loosely tied to the text, and tend to start at too high a level of difficulty. There is no attempt to have a graduated set of exercises.
In case you elect not to buy the workbook, the author provides a second set of problems in the body of the text which he calls "examples." Example 9 on p. 106 asks the student to write a voice leading reduction on a staff in the textbook proper, not the workbook. Is this an example or a problem? Why even suggest writing music in the text if there is a workbook?
Many of these "examples" contain critical information and ought to be true examples and either have the answers written in, or given in the margins of the text. By making unanswered problems out of examples the author makes it very easy for a student to misinterpret a concept amd give an incorrect answer to fundamental information and has no way of knowing the error. For the "examples" like the one on p. 109, the student is given no idea of what a correct answer is. To call these problems or exercises "examples" is a lie and creates a terrible format for an introductory textbook for freshmen.
Example 26 on p. 188 gives two lines from Death and Transfiguration by Strauss. The author's point is that accented nonchordal tones transform a banal passage into "one with great emotional impact." Apparently he did not listen to the piano rendition on his CD. It is banal. It has zero emotional impact. Nowhere does he mention the importance of the sustained crescendo eventually introducing a huge brass section for the lines he is discussing. I submit that the superb orchestration of the work, which makes excellent use of the affect of a good brass section, would give the ending great impact even without the accented non-chordal tones. Just listen to the rendition on the CD to hear the how exciting the accented non-chordal tones are by themselves.
New terms are not always defined at first use, and rarely can be found in the index, which is extremely poor.
The copy editing is exceedingly poor leaving many errors.
I have tried to be very specific about the type of problems that plague this text and could cite dozens of additional examples. I absolutely do not recommend using this text.
