Harmonic Materials of Modern Music

A book on Set theory (music) by composer Howard Hanson that overlaps significantly with composer Elliott Carter's Harmony Book and theorist Allen Forte's subsequent Structure of Atonal Music. Hanson's theory was one of the first to examine all sets of pitches in terms of their specific interval content, independent of tonality, chord root, or consonance versus dissonance.[1]
