Keith Salley replied to the topic ideas for dma comp exam pieces in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Jazz Interest Group via email on Humanities Commons 5 years, 8 months agoHi Megan
I also make the grad diagnostics for my school, and have a substantial
background in jazz theory. Am about to attend a webinar, so will be
unavailable for a couple hours, but I might be able to offer help. My first
question would be: what are you diagnosing? That is, what is it that you’re
trying to determine from each student’s…[Read more] -
Megan Lavengood started the topic ideas for dma comp exam pieces in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Jazz Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 8 months agoHi! I’m not usually a participant in this group but wanted to solicit some expert advice. I administer DMA comprehensive exams at my school. The format of the exam is very open-ended; I just ask students to analyze two pieces. One of the pieces will be 17th–19th century classical music; the other piece will be 20th–21st c. Students are exp…[Read more]

Steven Swarbrick deposited Object-Oriented Disability: The Prosthetic Image in Paradise Lost in the group
TC Disability Studies on MLA Commons 5 years, 10 months agoThough the verbal icon has a long and robust multisensory history extending beyond Milton, my goal here is to challenge ableist readings of Milton’s poetry by linking his poetic ekphrasis to the politics and aesthetics of disability.

Society for Music Theory – Jazz Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 11 months agoGarrett,
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.

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 – Jazz Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 1 month agoDear SMT JIG,
I wonder if any of you would give me your opinion on a question that’s been bugging me for ages. Let’s say we agree that you can reduce rhythm changes to |I|V|I|V| in the first four measures. Do you hear those Vs as back-related? Front-related? Depends on comping vs. soloing? Depends on the line being played? Depends on something…[Read more]

Society for Music Theory – Jazz Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 1 month agoHi all! I hope all has been well since our meeting in Columbus last month, and you all are surviving the end of the school year grading piles.

Something my…[Read more]

It shows how the quintet favored divergent over convergent interactional strategies in the interpersonal, referent, role, and style domains in its quest to…[Read more]
