The Influence of Hindemith's Harmonic Theories on Das Marienleben, op. 27 (open access)

The Influence of Hindemith's Harmonic Theories on Das Marienleben, op. 27

This study attempts to show the relationship of Hindemith's harmonic theories and practice in the revision of Das Marienleben, op. 27.

Chapter One concerns Hindemith's contribution as a theorist, including a synopsis of his harmonic theories, and his application of the theories in his compositions. Chapter Two concerns Das Marienleben itself, including general information about the work and its revision, and an analytical comparison of its two versions. Chapter Three concludes that Hindemith made improvements in the new version in accordance with his harmonic theories through replacing ambiguous harmony with carefully controlled fluctuation and clearly defined tonalities.
