  No, the one he is referencing is by McGee only and titled exactly
as shown. I have a copy. It's nice but so far I'm not getting anything
but generalities out of it. Some _useful_ generalities, but not a lot of
juicy bits.  All of the books out there are of course "how to do what is
there", not what I am interested in, which is "what are the characteristics
which are common in music of type X" -- so that I can make "original music
like type X".
