Brian Robison started the topic Lavengood's "novelty layer" in experimental pop/rock? in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoHi!
I’m currently applying Megan Lavengood’s concept of the “novelty layer” in pop texture (see her 2020 MTO article) to King Crimson’s 1973 album Larks’ Tongues in Aspic.
Is anyone else out there doing work along these lines with selections from progressive rock? art rock? experimental pop? etc.?
Many thanks,
Brian

Brian Robison replied to the topic Contour Segments in Pop? in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoI take it you’re looking for examples less than a decade old?
Both SZA’s “Broken clocks” (2017) and Azealia Banks’s “Anna Wintour” (2018) include melodic sequences that are constructed from pentatonic scales … so, the generic melodic intervals don’t necessarily match, but the csegs do.

Claire Arthur replied to the topic IT'S TIME TO VOTE!!! in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoHi Christine, I just thought I’d mention that it’s not obvious which “way” the numbers are supposed to be ranked. I assumed #1 was top priority and #4 was lowest but someone else may have interpreted this differently! You may wish to reply here to clarify or include that note in the instructions themselves.

Renaissance / Early Modern Studies on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoWe schrijven Brussel. 6 januari 1504. De Rotterdamse humanist Desiderius Erasmus staat op het spreekgestoelte en heeft zojuist de lof van de Bourgondische prins Filips de Schone (1478–1506) gezongen. In het Latijn, natuurlijk: dat was toen de cultuurtaal bij uitstek. Maar Erasmus heeft nog een toemaatje voor Filips in petto: hij rondt zijn l…[Read more]

Raf Van Rooy deposited De Grieken, babbelziek volk! Julius Caesar Scaliger (1484–1558), lidwoordhater in the group
Renaissance / Early Modern Studies on Humanities Commons 5 years agoHet Latijn heeft geen lidwoord zoals bijvoorbeeld het Nederlands (de, het) of het Oudgrieks (ho, hē, tó), en dat vond de 16de-eeuwse humanist Julius Caesar Scaliger prima. De grootse taal van Rome kon het makkelijk stellen zonder dat pietluttige woordje. Toegegeven, het kan soms nuttig zijn om aan te geven dat je een specifiek object op het oog h…[Read more]

Renaissance / Early Modern Studies on Humanities Commons 5 years agoHet Latijn, de taal van de Romeinen, heeft lange tijd zijn stempel gedrukt op de taalkunde en taalbeschrijving, niet alleen in de oudheid, maar ook in de middeleeuwen en de Renaissance, wanneer men de talige diversiteit van de wereld gestaag ontdekte. De meest uiteenlopende talen werden met wisselend succes gegoten in de mal van het Latijnse…[Read more]

Renaissance / Early Modern Studies on Humanities Commons 5 years agoMet de wereld op stelten is het tegenwoordig niet evident om van de mediterrane zon te genieten, al moet het weer in de Lage Landen de laatste jaren niet veel meer onderdoen. Mocht je toch snakken naar een zweempje Griekenland deze zomer, dan biedt de dichter van Gentse origine Daniël Heinsius (1580–1655) misschien een tegengif.
