| Abstract | Through analyses of a number of Honegger's compositions, including extended analyses of two of Honegger's orchestral works, Mouvement symphonique No. 2 (Rugby) and Symphonie pour cordes, the author examines the principles of musical organization in Honegger's music and shows how these principles are based on systematic rhythmic and contrapuntal strategies. Musical form in Honegger's work, the book argues, is articulated by contrapuntal and rhythmic structures rather than by tonal structure, and it is this that provides the source of compositional unity in Honegger's music. |
