Aural
Matters provides useful
resource material for
aural training at
Advanced level in a
single volume with two
accompanying compact
discs. the first part is
packed with examples of
dictation and
discrimination exercises,
carefully graded in
difficulty. The
recordings on disc allow
these practice-materials
to be used by the student
at home, as well as by
teachers in the
classroom. The text
provides a systematic
approach to aural
training * melody and
two-part dictation,
harmonic recognition,
identifying errors in
performance * with
frequent hints and tips
that will enable the
student to develop
increasing skill and
confidence in the tests.
Part Two provides an
recorded anthology of the
compositional techniques
with wich students are
expected to be familiar
at Advanced level. A huge
variety of extracts has
been specially selected
from British folk-songs,
world music, jazz, pop
and the main periods of
art music from the late
Renaissance to modern
times. A detailed
commentary shows how to
recognize periods,
styles, structures,
instruments and
techniques in this music,
with all of these
features copiously
illustrated in the
examples on disc. The
complete work provides an
invaluable resource not
only for the Advanced
level aural syllabus, but
also for any study of
style and analysis in the
wide variety of music
that is encountered
today. Prelude * Part I:
