Books Out Of Print

Untitled
This is a list of books that I've used and found excellent but unfortunately are out of print. However they are available second-hand and should be cheap. This is a personal list so more of a record. I found an old book, more a mini-pamphlet on Species Counterpoint from around 1880, that proved more useful in the exercises provided than Piston's Counterpoint.


 * The Oxford Harmony Volume One by R.O. Morris ISBN 0193173158
 * The Oxford Harmony Volume Two by H.K. Andrews ISBN 019317314X
 * The Guitar from the Renaissance to the Present Day by Harvey Turnbull

The Harvey Turnbull book is out of print which is the equivalent of having "Music in the Baroque Era: From Monteverdi to Bach" by Manfred Bukofzer out of print - which by the way the Bukofzer isn't. I know the book is dated and maybe new discoveries or new information has highlighted some errors but it was a good overview of the evolution of the guitar. Maybe it needs revising and new colour photos of all those lovely lutes and those highly ornamental rosettes - I wonder what happened to that baroque guitar that was hanging above a door in a London business that Turnbull took a photo of - probably been hanging there for hundreds of years.
