Reviews

Matthew Santa's Hearing Rhythm and Meter will help musicians refine their feeling for rhythm through guided listening, conducting, and analysis. This is an essential part of musical training, especially for performers. Students and professionals alike will find this book useful and thought-provoking. It is suitable for classroom use or self-teaching. -William Rothstein, author of Phrase Rhythm in Tonal Music This superb summary of concepts of rhythm and meter will be useful for any and all musicians who wish to become familiar with recent thinking on these musical elements. The textbook and the associated anthology provide everything instructors would require for advanced undergraduate courses as well as graduate seminars on musical rhythm and meter. Professor Santa bolsters his lucid expositions of concepts with conducting exercises and imaginative analytical assignments. Hearing Rhythm and Meter distills a large amount of recent scholarship and presents a wealth of valuable analytical insight into a wide variety of musical literature. -Harald Krebs, author of Fantasy Pieces: Metrical Dissonance in the Music of Robert Schumann
