Editorial Reviews
Review
A new, fresh and practical approach to this dreaded-by-many discipline….John Bell and Steven R. Chicurel offer a pragmatic and gestalt-like presentation of standard music theory in the context of musical theatre repertoire. — Robert Edwin
The authors should be commended for securing the rights to include these useful examples…. A useful starting point for understanding harmonic thought in musical theatre.
