The Music Theory Series

A Theory For All Music

by Kenneth P. Langer

The original purpose of these books was to provide class materials for a two-year college music theory course. The goal of the project is to describe and administer the tools of Western music analysis through the parameters or basic elements of music but in a way that allows those tools to be used to understand the music of any culture, style, or historical period.

The Series:

• Book I: The Fundamentals of Music
• Book II: Chords and Part Writing
• Book III: The Tools of Analysis
• Book IV: Parametric Analysis
