Pré-acte / Acte

Using geometrical models of voice-leading structure, I will outline an indigenous theory of Rock harmony, showing how these musicians uncovered a natural and deeply logical alternative to traditional harmonic procedures–one in which harmonies tend to go “backwards” from a classical standpoint. I will show that similar ideas can be found in the music of the late 16th and early 17th century, including Morley and Schutz. From this point of view, the « functional » harmony of the baroque and classical period represents a departure from a larger norm.
