RE: Need hints for harmonizing sevil... (in reply to Guest)

I have the second volume. The chapters are as follows: Traditional Harmony (30 pages - most of it of no use to modern flamenco. It reminds me of the boring musical 'rules' I had to learn at music school - but I did learn it, and I don't think it has done me much harm) Andalusian Cadence Styles with set rhythms: Alegria, Tango, Buleria, Fandango Styles in free time: Taranta, Granaina, Malaguena Each of the Styles chapters is subdivided along the following lines, e.g. Bulerias: Features of the Cante Musical analysis Key signature of the base tonality Characteristic harmonic progression Characteristic cadence resolution Scale Time signature Cycle structure and variations Traditional harmonic structures Variations: basics of the traditional design Recommended listening That sounds a lot, but it doesn't really go into much depth and is all rather basic. I was a bit dissapointed with the book - a somewhat pseudo-intellectual approach, talking much but saying little. However, my knowledge of harmony, modes, etc, is quite advanced (I used to teach it at university level) so maybe others would get more out of this book than I did? Rob
