Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoHi Everyone,
We had a bit of an issue with the new database defaulting to an Excel file rather than a Google Sheet. I’ve converted the database and you should be able to freely edit and add new examples! I will delete the old thread to avoid confusion, but include Christine’s original message…[Read more]

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.

But shopping malls, cinemas, coffee shops and pubs have closed t…[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]

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.

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.

Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoHi everyone, hope you’re doing well.
I realize it may be too busy right now to expect replies, but I’ll try:
Does anyone know of any good examples from pop for teaching contour segments (csegs)? I’m teaching a kind of generalized hybridized ‘music after 1900’ course that combines pop, jazz, and Western art music (Wam). Wanted to try this topic,…[Read more]
