The variety and complexity of cadenceThe concept of closure is crucial to understanding music from the “classical” style. This volume focuses on the primary means of achieving closure in tonal music: the cadence. Written by leading North American and European scholars, the nine essays assembled in this volume seek to account for the great variety and complexity inherent in the cadence by approaching it from different (sub)disciplinary angles, including music-analytical, theoretical, historical, psychological (experimental), as well as linguistic. Each of these essays challenges, in one way or another, our common notion of cadence. Controversial viewpoints between the essays are highlighted by numerous cross-references. Given the ubiquity of cadences in tonal music in general, this volume is aimed not only at a broad portion of the academic community, scholars and students alike, but also at music performers.

Music Theory operates with a number of fundamental terms that are rarely explored in detail. This book offers in-depth reflections on key concepts from a range of philosophical and critical approaches that reflect the diversity of the contemporary music theory landscape.

This award-winning book is “a must-read for any entrepreneur or business owner who wants to consistently and continually grow their business” (Robert Allen, author of One Minute Millionaire). In Cadence, Pete Williams shares a parable of a business transformation that illustrates his “seven levers” approach to success. An entrepreneur and triathlon coach named JJ finds himself struggling to keep his bike shop afloat. But that all changes when a fellow athlete shows him how to turn the store’s profitability around with seven key “10-percent wins”. Instead of offering a list of dos and don’ts, Cadence imparts wisdom by inviting readers on a journey into the lives of two characters who each have something valuable to teach the other. Through the story’s down-to-earth dialogue and realistic business challenges, readers are drawn into the story of JJ and Charlie and how they each learn to hit their stride.

The debut of a new hero in international suspense. MI6 has recruited its most unlikely agent—an Irish musician sent to India to capture the man who ruined his career: his own brother.

Building on ideas first advanced by Arnold Schoenberg and later developed by Erwin Ratz, this book introduces a new theory of form for instrumental music in the classical style. The theory provides a broad set of principles and a comprehensive methodology for the analysis of classical form, from individual ideas, phrases, and themes to the large-scale organization of complete movements. It emphasizes the notion of formal function, that is, the specific role a given formal unit plays in the structural organization of a classical work.

In Cadence is a collection of poetry from two Army officers. This annotated selection presents Rod Pattan and Lance Brender's experiences as soldiers, artists, and men in their first collaborative work.
