Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is designed to provide teachers and students of music with a ready reference on the elementary aspects of Classical well-tempered tuning and voice registrations of singers and instruments. It grew out of a collaborative project launched by American statesman and economist Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., with the intermediate aim of reestablishing a working grasp of the principles of Classical polyphonic composition as exemplified in the works of J.S. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and Brahms; and with the ultimate aim of applying those principles to spark a new Classical renaissance which can lift mankind out of the cultural rubble of twentieth-century Romanticism and Modernism. Book I is primarily concerned with introducing the student to the rudiments of Classical musical science, and demonstrates the primacy of the human bel canto singing voice and its biologically-determined registration for all rigorously creative musical composition. As LaRouche states in the Foreword, "The vocalization of Classical poetry, according to elementary bel canto principles of vocalization, is song. The participation of singers representing two or more of the biologically determined species of singing voices (soprano, tenor, etc.), is the essence of Classical well-tempered polyphony. Book II (in preparation) will deal with the application of vocal-polyphonic principles to musical instruments, and will provide a series of technical appendices.
