Beyond Technique: Structure and Meaning
This book can be used purely as a practical manual. No symbolic or philosophical framework is required to apply the method.
However, for readers interested in why the system works so consistently, the book also presents a structural interpretation of music modes, drawing on ancient Greek theory, mathematics, and liturgical function. It connects modal behavior, tonal centers, and vocal movement into a coherent architecture that historically shaped sacred chant.
