...Dmitri Tymoczko In this article, I consider two ways to model distance (or inverse similarity) between chord types, one based on voice leading and the other on shared interval content. My goal is to provide a contrapuntal reinterpretation of Ian Quinn's work, which uses the Fourier transform...

Published: 01 April 2019
... Hepokoski and Darcy’s sonata theory, Caplin’s theory of formal functions, and Schenkerian concepts of tonal content argue in favor of a type 2 interpretation of nineteenth-century manifestations. The analyses presented demonstrate some of the ways these theories may prove mutually reinforcing, even when...

... of this article examines the Two Rhapsodies, op. 79. The unusual harmonic structure of the G-minor rhapsody is read in light of 1-cycles present within the opening tiered polyphony. In the B-minor rhapsody, the content of three concurrent cycles at the opening—a 4-cycle, 1-cycle, and 5/7-cycle—is respectively...

... in Guillaume de Machaut's nineteen three-voice motets. Building initially upon Sarah Fuller's work, the proposed schema introduces a more nuanced approach to categorizing the intervallic content of consonant and dissonant sonorities. Moreover, by calling attention to the outer voices of certain sonority types...

...Drew Nobile In this article, I advocate for a syntactical definition of harmonic function in rock music such that function is acquired not by a chord's scale-degree content but by its role in the context of a song's form. In rock songs, the syntactical role of dominant, for example, is often played...

...Jason Yust The discrete Fourier transform on pitch-class sets, proposed by David Lewin and advanced by Ian Quinn, may provide a new lease on life for Allen Forte's idea of a general theory of harmony for the twentieth century based on the intervallic content of pitch-class collections. This article...

..., a metric cube connects two meters if their ordered factor representations differ by only one factor. Metric cubes, and metric operations that act on the contents of a cube, reveal patterns of metric structure in three works by Brahms: the first movement of the Third Symphony op. 90, the third movement...

... the concept of “genre memory”: each genre permanently encodes its original function, context, content, musical parameters, and much else besides; put differently, each genre carries numerous associations with it, which then signify meaning to listeners (103–7, 150).
