Harmonic Horizons: An investigation into the construction of my harmonic language through a creative portfolio of compositions

Harmonic Horizons presents my research regarding the structuring of harmonic material in my music written between 2011 and 2013. The selected work, the oratorio Johannes Uppenbarelse, illustrates how I have established and developed my harmonic language and how this is implemented chordally, melodically and structurally. The goal of this research is the development of my strategy to create a new kind of functional harmony, which utilises notions of relative consonance and dissonance within its own defined boundaries.
