This book replaces the ethnocentric confusion of conventional music theory with concepts that make sense of everyday tonality like the melodic hexatonicism of It's Not Unusual, unusual in music theory but not in real life. The quartal sounds of mountain banjo tuning, corporate underscore, Bartók quartets, TV themes and folk-rock backing are another focus of attention, as are the functions of non-ionian harmony's chord loops and shuttles, flat-two modes', bimodal reversibility, tonal counterpoise, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA","brand":"Philip Tagg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52084146962775,"sku":"9780990806813","price":18.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/everyday-tonality-ii-9780990806813","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
