Looking at the shelf in front of me, notable texts that stand out, in addition to the Rimsky-Korsakov:
Hindemith's "Traditional Harmony" Books
Kent Kennan' "Counterpoint"
Samuel Adler's "The Study of Orchestration"
J.S. Fux's "Gradus ad Parnassum - Study of counterpoint"
Schoenberg's "Structural FUnctions of Harmony."
AND, the book I think EVERYONE should begin there Musical Studies with, part unique take on traditional theory, part philosophy of music, Schoenberg's "Harmonielehre, or Theory of Harmony."
