""A Defense of the Original Principles of the Society of Friends: In a Series of Letters"" is a book written by Henry Martin and originally published in 1836. The book is a defense of the Quaker faith, also known as the Society of Friends, which was founded in the 17th century. The author argues that the original principles of the Quaker faith, such as the importance of individual conscience, the rejection of formal religious hierarchies, and the belief in the Inner Light, are still relevant and important today. The book is written in the form of a series of letters, which were originally written to a friend who was questioning the validity of the Quaker faith. Through these letters, Martin provides a detailed explanation of the history, beliefs, and practices of the Society of Friends, and defends the faith against criticism and misunderstanding. The book is an important work of Quaker theology and provides a valuable insight into the beliefs and practices of this unique religious tradition.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Counterpoint is a textbook for use as a stand-alone text in a course on species counterpoint or as a supplementary text for standard college-level courses in music theory. It is based on Heinrich Schenker's (1868-1935) two-volume study of counterpoint. It is intended to help all students of theory or composition to improve their musicianship by examining the voice-leading that underlies Western tonal music. The book proceeds by developing species counterpoint in the tradition of Johann Joseph Fux and his famous Gradus ad Parnassum (1725), but with attention to Schenker's more in-depth study. For the sake of brevity, musical examples are available on the Scarecrow Press website (www.scarecrowpress.com), rather than within the text itself. Everyone from beginning music theory students to composers to graduate composition students will greatly benefit from the methods presented here. Rather than actually teaching a student to compose, working through these exercises will improve musicianship as it applies to both composition and understanding music theory.

Martin provides a new overall assessment of the importance of Charlie Parker through an analysis of his improvisations in a variety of genres. Earlier studies of Parker argue that his style is based on an extensive network of melodic formulas that are combined to create solos. Because the same formulas appear throughout his improvisations regardless of the theme, these studies concluded that the solos do not usually relate to the original melodies. Charlie Parker and Thematic Improvisation provides a much-needed reassessment by showing that Parker's solos are often related to the original themes in unexpected and sometimes ingenious ways. The conclusion sums up features of Parker's style and discusses his contribution in the context of Western music history. Numerous transcriptions are provided. This groundbreaking technical study will be of interest to musicologists and serious students of jazz.

Showcases professional work in the arena of jazz theory. Among the contributors are scholars of jazz theory as well as musicians, including four of the founding members of the jazz section of the Society for Music Theory.
