Bear,

You quote someone as such:

> Even at a seemingly backwater place such as Hardin-
> Simmons University (Abilene, TX), we had theory
> profs who were not only versed in such theory but
> also wrote in it...including your beloved Chromatic
> Modal Harmony.

...and then say...

"So far, when someone would insist that there was such a text, they would
then find all kinds of excuses to NOT give me the name of the book, nor the
author."

...and...

"PLEASE tell me who wrote this book, and where
to get it! This would be a wonderful break-through at
clarifying many problems in 20th Century Theory, that
are left unfulfilled by Set Theory and other systems."

Hmmm...when I read the quote, it did not sound like they were saying that
their professors wrote a book about Chromatic Modal Harmony. Rather, their
professors wrote "in" this method you espouse. Their point is that when you
came here making remarks that probably no-one else knows of this approach to
theory and composition, they knew people who did and who wrote in it.
