Timothy Johnson replied to the topic Bylaws – 3rd draft in the discussion
SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoGreat work everyone! The one thing that still trips me up is the first line: “scholars of 20th- and 21st-century music.” The group is Post-1945. The quoted part implies that we include pre-1945 and project an end date for the group. Maybe it outlives us?
I suggest: “scholars of music since 1945” instead of the above.

SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoHi everyone, thanks to those who commented on the last draft of the bylaws. I’ve uploaded a third draft. Based on the discussion, I only changed a few details related to defining quorum. (There wasn’t enough discussion to yield a clear consensus, so I went with 10 people or 5% of the membership, whichever is larger, with membership defined as the…[Read more]

Mariusz Kozak deposited Kinesthesis, Affectivity, and Music’s Temporal (Re-/Dis-)Orientations in the group
Society for Music Theory (SMT) on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoIn this talk, presented at the Plenary Session of the 2020 Annual Meeting of the Society for Music Theory, I examine the relationship between time, embodiment, and affectivity in music. I argue that music is temporal not because it unfolds in time, or because it takes time as its vector, or even because it has the capacity to alter our sense of…[Read more]

Antares Boyle replied to the topic Please comment on revised by-laws in the discussion
SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoGood point! We had 21 responses last year. That’s 29% of our HC membership, and I would guess the average attendance at meetings is lower. (Although I suppose if we are going to use attendance numbers as a metric I had better make sure we can find those numbers… using the HC membership would certainly be a bit easier!)

Noah Kahrs replied to the topic Please comment on revised by-laws in the discussion
SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoI think it’s worth asking how many responses you had to the survey last year—if 20% of the average of the last two meetings works out to be more people than responded, that would presumably cause some problems.

SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoHi Bob,
Thanks for these comments! I agree that changing it to a larger percentage makes sense. How about 20%?
If anyone else has comments or suggestions, please feel free to weigh in!

Kendra Leonard deposited Cultural Diversity and the Musical Representation of California in Regional 1970s Television in the group
Society for Music Theory (SMT) on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoIn 1970, a television-show dance contest in a small California town ended abruptly when the studio was briefly plunged into darkness because of an apparent power failure. The media coverage of the event eventually helped uncover criminal activity at the studio; over the course of this reporting, the narrative was accompanied by select genres of…[Read more]

Nathaniel Mitchell deposited The Volta: A Galant Gesture of Culmination in the group
Society for Music Theory (SMT) on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoThis article presents an overview of a new pre-cadential schema in the galant style: the Volta. The Volta is a two-part schema featuring a prominent chromatic reversal: stage one charges up the dominant with a ♯4–5 melodic string, while stage two releases to the tonic using a ♮4–3 string. The schema sheds light on many aspects of galant music-m…[Read more]

Laura Emmery replied to the topic Please comment on revised by-laws in the discussion
SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoThanks, Bob. Yes, we thought about this, too. I borrowed the quorum percentage from the Pop Music IG, which makes more sense for them since their membership is large (of course, nothing compares to our FB page membership 😀 )
We could definitely increase ours to 20%-25%, granted people vote and stay engaged with the IG issues.

SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoThanks for these revised by-laws, Tara and Laura! I suggested one small wording change and also added a comment about the quorum… it occurs to me that a 5% quorum in a group of this size could easily mean just two or three people! I don’t feel strongly about this if there’s a good reason to stick with 5%, but perhaps a larger quorum of 20%-25%…[Read more]
