James Tenney and the Theory of Harmony
2022Abstract Around 1970, an unexpected but enduring preoccupation with harmony emerged in the music of James Tenney.

John Cage and the Theory of Harmony
2017James Tenney examines some of John Cage's theoretical ideas and their possible implications for a new theory of harmony that he argues requires new definitions of “harmony,” “harmonic relations,” etc.; such definitions, he contends, will emerge from a more careful analysis of the “total soundspace” of musical perception.
