This thesis aims to define 'timbral coherence' in its structural elements and develop an approach for formal analysis. Comparative analysis of cognitive studies on timbre, and the philosophy of musical gesture are the main sources to achieve this goal. Analyses of these studies are used to present a proposal for building new analysis methods. Chapter 1 presents a brief introduction of timbre, its historical and contemporary role in music, main definitions and topics concerning the nature of timbre. An initial definition of timbral coherence is proposed to determine a path and approach for following chapters. Cognition of timbre is examined through noteworthy studies in Chapter 2. First of all, an overview of notion timbral continuum, vertical and horizontal organization in composition is made. Subsequently, relation of timbre and horizontal structures is explained starting from the most basic components: pitch, intervals, and melody. Most importantly, relativity, memory and its grouping mechanisms are examined, which can be seen as the basis for devising the proposed approach.
