Étude du Rythme is an educational tool proposed by Georges Dandelot (1895-1975), a French composer, following the concept that rhythm is the foundation on which melody and harmony are then layered. It was conceived to progressively teach musicians how to deal with complicated rhythms such as those used by Bartok or Ravel. This volume is the first of five composing a step-by-step method to learn and master rhythm in music. It covers basics and simple melodies; the second volume introduces more complexity on the same concept, then the third one should help pianists to play different rhythms with each hand. Volumes four and five use complex combinations of rhythms and melody with binary and tertiary tempos.

The book aims to be a guide through the little universe which is the working place of the man who writes music. As such it talks predominantly to the layman,although the expert composer may also find some stimulation in it... From the center of basic theory the discussion will spread out into all the realms of experience which border the technical aspects of composing, such as aesthetics, sociology, philosophy, and so on.

Being a fascinatingly unique composer, Olivier Messiaen pushes the conventions of composition to its very limits. The composer's music remains ever-popular and The Technique of My Musical Language provides the key and necessary knowledge in to the study of his delightful music. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was admitted to the Paris Conservatoire at the mere age of 11, where he won many prizes. As a passionate ornithologist, as well as organist and composer, many of Messiaen's works depict bird song. His music is rhythmically complex and harmonically and melodically distinct, often using modes of limited transposition. It is for these reasons that the composer compiled The Technique of My Musical Language. The book contains text with musical examples, describing unique elements of his music, such as ametrical music, his rhythmic notations and his modes of limited transposition, among many others. For all fans of Messiaen, The Technique of My Musical Language is essential to the understanding of the composer's much loved music. MORE»
