Roger Scruton first addressed this topic in his celebrated book The Aesthetics of Music (OUP) & in this new book he applies the theory to the practice & examines a number of composers & musical forms. His continued fascination with Wagner provides much interesting content but he also deals near-death blows to his favorite targets like Pierre Boulez & Hoagy Carmichael.

His legal encounter with The Pet Shop Boys is well documented (they sued him for libel in 1999) & the book closes with a devastating chapter on pop music, containing more controversial views that readers will relish. Many will be delighted; others enraged. However, underlying this book there is a consistent argument & passion for tonality & rhythm.
