Musicology, having been transmitted as a compilation of disparate events and disciplines, has long necessitated a 'magic bullet', a 'unified field theory' so to speak, that can interpret the steady metamorphosis of Western art music from late medieval modality to twentieth-century atonality within a single theoretical construct. Without that magic bullet, discussions of this kind are increasingly complicated and, to make matters worse, the validity of any transformational models and ideas of the natural evolution of styles is questioned and even frowned upon today as epitomizing a grotesque teleological bigotry. Going against current thinking, Henry Burnett and Roy Nitzberg claim that the teleological approach to observing stylistic change is still valid when considered from the purely compositional perspective. The authors challenge the traditional understanding of development, and advance a new theory of eleven-pitch tonality as it relates to the corpus of Western composition. The book plots the evolution of tonality and its bearing on style and the compositional process itself. The theory is not based on the diatonic aspect of the various tonal systems exploited by composers; rather, the theory is chromatically based - the chromatically inflected octave being the source not only of a highly ingenious developmental dialectic, but also encompassing the moment-to-moment progression of the musical narrative itself. Even the most profound teachings of Schenker, and the often startlingly original and worthwhile speculations of Riemann, Tovey, Dahlhaus and others, still provide no theory of development and so are ultimately unable to unite the various tendrils of the compositional organism into a unified whole. Burnett and Nitzberg move beyond existing theory and analysis to base their theory from the standpoint of chromatic 'pitch fields'. These fields are the specific chromatic pitch choices that a composer uses to inform and design a complete composition, utilizing

Musical practices in the 20th century pose new and complex problems in the study of the fundamental principles of pitch organization. The analysis of basic harmonic categories, one of which is chromaticism, acquires particular importance as a means of restoring time, which has gone out of joint and identifying the logical principles in the historical process of musical development. Vladimir Barsky, in his thoroughly researched and clearly written guide, traces the progress of the concept of chromaticism throughout Western musical history, and recreates an integrated logical and historical perspective in order to make a specific study of this key subject. He identifies the dynamics of the changing historical theories of chromaticism and relates these to musical practices, applying them to the analysis of current pitch systems. This book will be an invaluable tool for readers whose aim is to come nearer to comprehending the idioms of 20th century music.

It is the intention of this paper to look at some of Wheelers music from a very specific period in his career (late 1970s through to early 1980s), place it in an overall developmental process in jazz composition already underway, and to examine it using some techniques that have been devised by the author over a long period of time. It is not intended for this document to outline any sort of process that is Wheelers per se, however there is a process that will be examined here; it is that of this authors own development as an improviser. This process has had Wheeler looming over it since near the very beginning, and, as more was learned about his music along with (for lack of a better term) more mainstream music, this author found it interesting that they shared more than they differed. The differences were not so much of a kind but of a viewpoint, a viewpoint that seemed to look through the same window, but out onto a bigger landscape. This document endeavours to shed some light on the relationship of diatonicism and chromaticism, but not in a surface way. In the action of moving through this paper it is hoped that a more subtle background idea of chromaticism can be seen that is still within the realm of perceived tonality. It is an improvisers process, yet a compositional one. If one looks at each of these in terms of the manipulation of the stuff of music then they are the same. The lens through which this idea of chromaticism will be examined is what will be termed the voicing, and in defining this voicing in a very specific manner, it can be shown that it carries inside it all the structure, voice leading, functionality and coherence required for the negotiation of tonal systems, both closed (diatonic) and open (chromatic). This will be a fairly lengthy process, but one that is felt necessary in order to appreciate the local tonality vs. global chromaticism which Wheelers music exemplifies. After the process of familiarization with the voicing and some analytical techniques, two compositions of Wheelers from the late 1970s into the early 1980s will be examined using these techniques.
