In Hanson's book \u003ci\u003eHarmonic Materials of Modern Music\u003c\/i\u003e, he proffered a theory of classification of all possible pitch-class collections in the chromatic scale, showing ways of deriving larger collections from smaller ones, and demonstrating significant relationships among them. This theory anticipated in many ways the standard formulations of music set theory, while also influencing Hanson's own compositions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFollowing an introduction and biographical overview, \u003ci\u003eHoward Hanson: Theory and Practice\u003c\/i\u003e summarizes its subject's theoretical writings, examines their usefulness for both musicologists and composers, and analyzes in particular two of Hanson's musical pieces. In this way, \u003ci\u003eHoward Hanson\u003c\/i\u003e represents an exciting and highly educational look at a man and his work, both unacknowledged for too long.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eALLEN COHEN is Assistant Professor of Music at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
