Dear colleagues,

The Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group has a couple exciting activities at this year’s annual meeting, and we hope that you will attend and support the authors and organizers that have been working to put things together.

The interest group is sponsoring a special session that will take place on Saturday morning of the conference (Time: 12/Nov/2022, 10:45am–12:15pm | Location: Jackson), titled Reframing Post-Tonal Pedagogy for the Twenty-First Century. This alternative-format special session includes six short position papers that reconsider the what, why, and how of post-tonal pedagogy: what repertoire and theoretical concepts we teach, why we engage with these pieces and ideas, and how we teach them. The presentations will be followed by a collective Q&A period with all the presenters. The papers and their authors are listed below.

• “Reframing Leong’s ‘Wissen, Können, Kennen’ for the Post-Tonal Theory Classroom” – Ben Duinker | University of Toronto
• “‘The Teacher Makes Plans, Students Laugh’: Prioritizing Autonomy in Post-Tonal Curricula” – Nathan Cobb | University of California, Santa Barbara
• “Engaging Post-Tonal Theory” – Daphne Leong | University of Colorado Boulder
• “Systems, Methodologies, and Values: Rebranding Post-Tonal Theory for the 21st Century” – John King | University of Oregon
• “A Case for Overtones” – Danielle Shlomit Sofer | University of Dayton
• “Hermeneutics from the Start: An Exercise, with Ruth Crawford’s Prelude No. 6” – Sumanth Gopinath | University of Minnesota, Twin Cities

 

Immediately following this session, we will move over to our meeting room (Time: 12/Nov/2022, 12:30pm–2:00pm | Location: Ascot/Newberry), where we will announce the winner of the Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group Publication Award and celebrate the Centenary of Iannis Xenakis with three presentations on his music. The papers and their authors are listed below.

• “Mass Textures and Textures for the Masses in Xenakis’ Music” – Marcy Pierson | University of Pittsburgh
• “Reanimating Xenakis’s Free Stochastic Music Program” – Ron Squibbs | University of Connecticut
• “Stochastic Rhythms in the Music of Iannis Xenakis: From Layered Subdivisions to Bounded Proportional Notation” – Jim Harley | University of Guelph

 

We hope you will join us for these events, and we look forward to seeing you in New Orleans!

Will Ayers and Elizabeth Hambleton
