Davidian, Teresa
Tonal Counterpoint for the
21st-Century Musician
An Introduction
Rowman & Littlefield Publishing (Baltimore, MD, 2015)
Students today have grown up in the age of digital
technology. As a result, they process information in
radically different ways than preceding generations. They
like their information fast and consider visual images
as important as textual content. In Tonal Counterpoint
for the 21st-Century Musician, Teresa Davidian finally
provides students a textbook that is quick, direct, and
visual—a direct reflection of the age in which they
live. This book is easy to understand, comprehensive,
and distinctly modern in its approach to the study of
counterpoint. Written in a style that is clear, simple,
and informal, Davidian artfully mixes the history of
counterpoint with an outline of its structure, placing musical
examples from J.S. Bach side by side with those from
The Beatles to illustrate the universality and currency of
counterpoint in music analysis and composition. 260 p.

Raines, Robert
Composition in the Digital World
Conversations with 21st Century American
Composers
Oxford University Press (Oxford, England, 2015)
In this series of personal interviews with some of the most
prominent composers of art music currently working on
the American music scene, composer and educator Robert
Raines leads intimate conversations through subjects
ranging from the source of inspiration, to work habits,
the realities of the business of music, and the impact of
technology on music and life in the 21st century. The
musicians who participated in these conversations are as
different from one another as can be imagined, both in
styles of music and approaches to life and art, resulting in a
series of stories that offer a kaleidoscopic view of the many
paths to creativity; yet a common thread that runs through
the interviews is the passionate artistic drive that is shared
by all. The inspirational stories of struggles and successes,
told in the artists' own words and distinctively framed by
their individual personalities - humorous, curmudgeonly,
serious, serene, and playful by turns - is a delightful and
thought-provoking journey full of personal insights, advice,
and sharp observations on composing music in a changing,
technology-driven world. A loving homage to the artistic
spirit, this book is a must-read for students of composition,
professors and scholars of music, composers and aspiring
composers, and anyone interested in the subjective process
of writing music. This rich and entertaining collection
provides a unique glimpse into the workings of the creative
spirit in the digital age. Hardcover, 368 p.
