In music, a theme is the material, usually a recognizable melody, upon which part or all of a composition is based. In forms such as the fugue this may be known as the subject.
A theme may be perceivable as a complete musical expression in itself, separate from the work in which it is found (Drabkin 2001). In contrast to an idea or motif, a theme is usually a complete phrase or period (Dunsby 2002). The Encyclopédie Fasquelle defines a theme as "Any element, motif, or small musical piece that has given rise to some variation becomes thereby a theme" (Michel 1958–61).
Thematic changes and processes are often structurally important, and theorists such as Rudolph Reti have created analysis from a purely thematic perspective (Reti 1951; Reti 1967). Fred Lerdahl describes thematic relations as "associational" and thus outside his cognitive-based generative theory's scope of analysis (Lerdahl 2001, 5).
Music based on one theme is called monothematic, while music based on several themes is called polythematic. Most fugues are monothematic and most pieces in sonata form are polythematic (Randel 2002, 429). In the exposition of a fugue, the principal theme (usually called the subject) is announced successively in each voice – sometimes in a transposed form.

In this lecture, Richard Taruskin reflects on the historiography of music and its embrace of a Whiggish paradigm that he argues has had a deleterious effect on the value and practice of music. Taruskin's extensive work as a scholar and music journalist has earned him the title "America's national musicologist" (Der Spiegel). A specialist in Russian and Soviet music, twentieth-century music, the theory of performance, music and politics, and general historiography, Taruskin has authored and edited numerous books and articles, most recently the six-volume "Oxford History of Western Music" (2005) and "Music in the Western World: A History in Documents" (2007).

The fugue, a polyphonic composition based on a subject (main theme), was most popular in the Baroque Period (1600-1750.) This is a simplified explanation of the fugue (for instance, the subject is always referred to as "subject" even when it appears as an "answer" (the subject in the dominant key.) This explanation is intended for basic Music Appreciation classes, not for an in-depth counterpoint class.

Nearly all the music you have ever heard uses a 12-pitch musical language. What would music sound like with 106 notes per octave? Multi-instrumentalist and composer, Dolores Catherino, explores the beautiful possibilities of notes between the notes. From her home in Alaska, Dolores Catherino composes micro-tonal music, which could very well lead to the evolution of our auditory perception and intelligence -- and an appreciation for what Dolores calls “polychromatic music.” Going from traditional Western music to polychromatic music is like moving from low-res, black and white television to high definition, full-color television, explains Dolores -- it’s what’s next in music. Dolores studies new, integrated perspectives at the crossroads of music and science, utilizing innovative instrumen...
