Abstract
Complex harmonic structures, such as polychords, have played an important role in the development of contemporary classical music. Composers have used them—some more than others—in many ways but a standard theory of their use has yet to be formed, despite occasional mentions from a handful of authors. This commentary discusses the use of these and other complex harmonic structures in excerpts from relevant composers' pieces and compares them to examples of the pieces featured in the attached portfolio. The analysis shows their potential not only as a means to effectively delineate the development of harmony, but also as a means of expression and definition of musical form. Some strategies, tools and points of view for the analysis are also suggested, which may be useful for their study and application.
