modern harmony (online course)
abstract
this is my series of 43 short youtube videos called modern harmony. it is based on a course i taught at the université de montréal (in french) for almost 30 years. now that i am retired i wanted to make it available to a larger public, and in english. it is mainly aimed at composers. the approach is practical, explaining how these harmonic techniques can be used in composition. a few of the core notions come from persichetti's twentieth century harmony, others are my own. i am especially interested in principles of harmony that apply to more than one style, and also in how various harmonic techniques can be combined seamlessly in the same composition.
