Antares Boyle started the topic Link to vote to ratify bylaws / participate in post-meeting survey in the discussion
SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 1 month agoHi everyone,
Thanks for your input on the bylaws. Here is a link to the final draft. The only non-cosmetic change made since the third draft is that “20th and 21st music” has been replaced with “music after 1945,” as Timothy Johnson suggested.
Please follow this link to vote on the bylaws and take the post-meeting survey. The deadline to…[Read more]

SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 1 month 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]

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!)

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!

Keith Salley started the topic Contour Segments in Pop? in the discussion
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]

Megan Lavengood deposited Bespoke Music Theory: A Modular Core Curriculum Designed for Audio Engineers, Classical Violinists, and Everyone in Between in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group (SMT PMIG) on Humanities Commons 5 years, 3 months agoTraditional music theory curricula are increasingly scrutinized. Students regularly misunderstand the scope of epistemology and scope of theory, find theory intimidating and difficult, and fail to see its relevance to their career goals. In this essay, I outline a modular music theory curriculum, which works to address these negative perceptions…[Read more]

SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 5 months agoHi everyone,
Thank you so much to those who weighed in on this. Based on this small sample, it seems like we’re split between those who would like to shut the group down and those who would like to keep the group going as a space for sharing research.
I tend to lean toward Amy’s position… I avoid posting on Facebook in general, and am not…[Read more]

SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 5 months agoDear community,
As some of you know, our interest group currently maintains a group page on Facebook. The initial idea behind this page was that it would be open to anyone (as long as the Facebook account appeared legitimate), since individuals outside the SMT orbit might still want to engage in productive dialogue about music analysis with us.…[Read more]

Keith Salley started the topic Whole-tone and Octatonic in pop and rock in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 5 months agoHi everyone,
Hope you’re all well and reasonably rested.
Was wondering about rock or general pop tunes that feature symmetrical/synthetic scales like WT and OCT. I don’t mind fleeting surface occurrences where the scales are just run through, like those WT scales in the intro to Stevie Wonder’s ‘You Are the Sunshine . . .’ or the recurring OCT…[Read more]
