Description

Explore the historical development of a unique musical sound in A Chord in Time: The Evolution of the Augmented Sixth from Monteverdi to Mahler. Dr. Mark Ellis provides a deep look into how this specific sonority changed through different musical eras. This book traces the journey of the augmented sixth from its origins in the Phrygian Cadence, one of the final remnants of modal counterpoint to enter the tonal era, through to its use in later centuries. Readers will examine how different composers treated this sound. In the Baroque period, it was often linked to negative textual imagery, yet figures like Charpentier described it as poignantly expressive. By studying a wide series of musical examples, you can understand the changing contexts of this sonority from the time of Monteverdi all the way to Mahler. This work is an essential resource for music analysts and composers interested in the history of tonal harmony and musical expression.
