How Musical Harmony Was Born – A New Theory on the Origin of Western Music: A Theoretical Approach

This theoretical and philosophical study by opera and classical music composer Panagiotis Karousos explores the fundamental origins of Western music. Titled "How Musical Harmony Was Born – A New Theory on the Origin of Western Music," the work offers a new conceptual approach to how musical harmony was conceived and developed. Moving away from purely mechanical frameworks, it investigates the philosophical, anthropological, and structural milestones that led to the birth of harmony, providing fresh insights for composers, musicologists, and researchers of cultural evolution. Published under the auspices of the Hellenic American Center of the Arts.
