[NB 3 July 2016: The files mentioned here have been gathered in the essays
Rising Lines in the Tonal Frameworks of Traditional Tonal Music and
Table of Compositions with Rising Lines published on the Texas Scholar Works platform. Links:
Rising;
Table.] I have reformatted some of the web pages in the rising cadence series, adding illustrations, marking content divisions more clearly, and doing a little editing of content. The "Ascending Lines" page has been separated into two, the first an
introduction, the second a
historical summary. The
front page for the composition tables has some new illustrations.
