Advanced Harmony: Theory and Practice with CD Package (5th Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Great for those new to music theory.
Review: As aa former computer science professor who is trying to teach himself the fundamentals of music theory, I have found this book exceedingly easy to read and learn from. Along with his book on Elementary Harmony, I feel I have received a sound and very useful emersion into the world of music harmony.

Rating:
Summary: recommended
Review: This book and its companion, the author's "Elementary Harmony", though a bit plodding, are the most practical part-writing texts still available. (Consider, however, that I am familiar only with an earlier edition.)
