This chapter presents an approach to musical listening and analysis that privileges the individual perspectives of performers in a rock ensemble. Using passages from Yes’s “And You And I,” this study examines how each musician hears the texture in different ways while each of these “positions” differs from the Ideal Listening Position, which is…[Read more]

This chapter considers the role of popular music in the undergraduate music theory curriculum, proposing three models for integrating pop into theory teaching.

This paper surveys the career of Jimmy Miller and explores his role as producer for the Rolling Stones, with particular emphasis on Beggars Banquet.

MEI-encoded scores are versatile music information resources representing musical meaning within a finely addressable XML structure. The Verovio MEI engraver reflects the hierarchy and identifiers of these encodings into its generated SVG output, supporting presentation of digital scores as richly interactive Web applications. Typical MEI…[Read more]

In this paper, we apply machine translation techniques to solve one of the central problems in the field of optical music recognition: extracting the semantics of a sequence of music characters. So far, this problem has been approached through heuristics and grammars, which are not generalizable solutions. We borrowed the seq2seq model and the…[Read more]

This paper reports on the task of developing concepts for a computational analysis of the transmission of mensural music based on concepts of phylogenetic analysis. Since the analysis of transmission aims for the reconstruction of relations between sources, it focuses on the differences of rather similar items. Therefore, it is necessary to find…[Read more]
