The Genesis Of Harmony

""The Genesis of Harmony"" is a book written by Hugh Carleton in 1881 that explores the laws and principles that govern musical composition. The book is structured as an inquiry into the origins of harmony and the rules that govern its creation. Carleton covers a range of topics, including the nature of sound, the principles of melody and harmony, and the relationship between music and mathematics. He also examines the role of the composer in creating harmony and the ways in which different musical traditions have developed their own unique approaches to harmony. Throughout the book, Carleton provides examples of musical compositions and analysis to illustrate his points. ""The Genesis of Harmony"" is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the principles of musical composition that is still relevant to musicians and music scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
