Sara Bakker replied to the topic New publication award: seeking group feedback in the discussion
SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 11 months agoThis sounds like a great idea! Here are my thoughts:

- Agreed–articles and book chapters only.
- Not sure. Maybe something with “20th and 21st repertoire”?

Thanks for responding to this! I’m working on hierarchy within cyclical chord progressions (I do think at least some aspects are hierarchical) but certainly don’t want to be chasing windmills.

Society for Music Theory on Humanities Commons 5 years, 12 months agoGreetings, Popular Music Interest Group!
We write to you with bad news – the PMIG Examples Database Google Sheet has disappeared. Alyssa has been in touch with past officers and tried to recover it, but what appears to have happened is the owner of the sheet either deleted or closed the account associated with the database. But — we can…[Read more]

Society for Music Theory (SMT) on Humanities Commons 5 years, 12 months agoRecursion may have an important place in cognitive processes. Recursive theoretical models may also seduce the theorist to false abstractions and pseudo-explanations. This is observed in some versions of musical and linguistic formalism, which share a common rationalist-idealist background; paradigmatically, in Chomsky’s controversial M…[Read more]

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.

Garrett Michaelsen replied to the topic V in Rhythm Changes in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Jazz Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years agoBen:
Sorry for the extremely slow reply! I don’t think that one can give a generic answer. The concept of a chord relating more to ones that come before or after seems to me to be wrapped up in so much additional context that making such a determination on the basis of chord changes alone doesn’t make sense. Think of Gershwin’s original: in this…[Read more]
