SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years agoHi Leandro, as a starting place we are hoping to use HC to post our group announcements and potentially share files. It could also be a place for online discussion if that develops! That may be more likely once we have more people. I’ll be sending out another reminder to folks in our old Google group that this is our new platform.

Christine Boone replied to the topic Analysis of the bridge in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years agoMark, there is a lot of stuff on form more generally, which may contain info about bridges within each article. (The only one I know entirely about the bridge is the one that Keith mentions above.) Check out the stuff on form in our bibliography: https://hcommons-staging.org/docs/popular-music-bibliography/

Keith Salley replied to the topic Analysis of the bridge in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years agoHi Mark
The first thing that comes to mind is Steve Larson’s article “What Makes a Good Bridge,” from the Dutch Journal of Music Theory (8: 1–15). If memory serves, it explores ‘bridge’ as a metaphor, and uses Gershwin’s “I Got Rhythm” as an example. Perhaps this isn’t the repertoire you’re really looking for, but it’s worth reading.
Best of luck.

Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years agoDear collective wisdom,
Can anyone recommend literature on the bridge in popular song form? I am thinking of analyses of specific songs, where the bridge (B section) might have some special relation to the A section, or articulate some significant climax, and so on. Thank you.
