Creating music pays homage to the principles of harmony, transcending the boundaries between classical violinists and hip-hop producers. It is the intricate interplay of musical elements that breathes life into a song, surpassing the mere sum of its parts. Composers, engineers, producers, and performing musicians harness the harmonic principles derived from basic acoustics at every stage of their artistic journey. This comprehensive book delves into the profound theories of harmonics, exploring unconventional approaches like extended and hyperextended chords. It unravels the mystery of the consonance of the elusive minor triad and offers insights into voicing and arranging from a vertical or harmonic perspective. It categorizes chords based on their sonority and examines how extended chords impact the listener. Moreover, the book sheds light on the composer's application of these principles, guiding readers into the intricate world of musical harmony.
