Re: Chord Function?

I didn't say "theory" was a list of what is forbidden.  I said the 
"parameters of a style are defined by what is forbidden, permitted and 
obligatory."  I got it directly from Roland Wiggins.  He likely got it 
directly from Vincent Persichetti or Henry Cowell.  Probably Persichetti.

If you think about it, you might realize the value of what I just hipped
you 
to.  I'm tempted to insult you, but out of respect for Roland Wiggins, who

would never lose his temper when confronted by extreme ignorance, I will 
simply advise you that you are shortchanging yourself by not considering
the 
value and depth of that statement.
