Dear Professors Clendinning and Marvin and my other colleagues on
this list:
<br>
<br>
Our school has recently adopted <i>The Musician's Guide to Theory
and Analysis.</i> As preparations for the Fall semester continue,
I find myself puzzling over how to best incorporate Clendinning and
Marvin's anthology into my planning of the course. While the prose
of the textbook and certain exercises in the workbook indicate
appropriate moments when specific examples are to be referenced in
the anthology, there does not seem to be anything like an index that
associates particular pieces in the anthology with particular
chapters in the textbook, or (even better!) an index to coordinate
anthology pieces with relevant topics. In the former case, there is
a repertoire list at the beginning of each chapter, but not
everything on that list is in the anthology, and it isn't indicated
which is which. I would also like to be able to use examples from
the anthology to provide supplementary in-class analysis practice
for the students, and it doesn't seem clear how to go about
coordinating that. I of course have my own collection of reference
pieces that I generally teach from, but since the students are
paying good money for the anthology, I want to make sure they get
commensurate use out of it.
<br>
<br>
If I've missed such an index, or if somebody has happened to already
compile one, I'd appreciate it if you could point me in the right
direction.
<br>
<br>
All best,
<br>
<br>
