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]

Lodewijk Muns deposited Music, Language, and the Deceptive Charms of Recursive Grammars in the group
Society for Music Theory (SMT) on Humanities Commons 6 years 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]

Society for Music Theory (SMT) on Humanities Commons 6 years agoLerdahl and Jackendoff’s Generative Theory of Tonal Music (1983) is an attempt to transform music theory into a theory of musical understanding by adopting the formal method and psychological premises of Generative Grammar, along with some Schenkerian elements. It has failed to fulfil its promise mainly because, like Schenker theory, it is…[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]

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.
