The Skywalker Symphonies

In this groundbreaking book, Frank Lehman explores the totality of Williams's Star Wars musical universe, an orchestral epic that spans nine movies and over four decades of cinematic history.

Harmony for Composers and Arrangers

In Harmony for Composers and Arrangers, author Nicholas Urie walks musicians through the most common chord progressions in pop, jazz, rock, and other contemporary music styles. The book starts with simple diatonic sounds and builds in complexity, covering everything from diatonic to chromatic harmony and ending with two example arrangements by the author to show the application of the book's concepts.
