A Short History of Harmony and The Living Touch in Music and Education by Chas. Macpherson is a book that explores the history of harmony in music and its relationship to education. The book begins with an overview of the early history of music and how harmony evolved over time. It then delves into the various theories of harmony and how they have been used in music education. The author also discusses the importance of the living touch in music, which refers to the emotional and expressive qualities that are essential to making music come alive. Throughout the book, Macpherson emphasizes the importance of music education and how it can help individuals develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of music. This book is a great resource for anyone interested in music history, theory, and education.Written primarily for the use of those to whom music is essentially a pastime, it is hoped that this little work, though far from claiming to be a textbook, may be of some service, even to others who have adopted music as a serious study. It was the author's aim to write in a style midway between the bare statement of facts on the one hand and over elaboration of detail on the other. Contents: birth of harmony; alliance of harmony and counterpoint; early technical practice; dawn of modern harmony; melodic ornamentation; chord ornamentation.
