The proceedings from this past spring’s Future Directions in Music Cognition conference were published just before the holidays. My presentation video is elsewhere on this blog, but the official text of my contribution can now be found at https://kb.osu.edu/handle/1811/93130.
In early December, I appeared on the music theory podcast “Note Doctors” with several colleagues—my co-authors from the upcoming JMTP colloquy on rethinking the chorale. You can find Note Doctors in any podcast feed, or listen to the entire episode on YouTube:
My contribution to The Oxford Handbook of Public Music Theory was just released! The handbook chapters are slowly appearing online, and the full volume should be available in book form in the spring. My contribution, “Hans Keller and the Media of Analysis” is a sequel of sorts to my 2020 Music Analysis paper, and it reads Keller’s work on “functional analysis” (and particularly his statements about verbal vs. non-verbal analysis) against mid-century trends in music theory, performance studies, and modernism.
You can find the chapter on Oxford’s website. Or, if you don’t have institutional access, check out a rougher looking version here.
On this page, you will find a handout and typescript for my November 2021 presentation to the Society for Music Theory. The “Neo-Riemannian Excursions” panel is at 11am (Eastern) on Saturday, November 6.
I recently completed my video talk for the upcoming annual meeting of the American Musicological Society. I’m posting a slightly longer “Director’s Cut” on here, along with the typescript and “handout.” I’m really excited about this material, and putting the talk itself together was one of the hardest cases of having to cut a lot of my favorite examples and observations just to hit the timing. I’m excited to combine this with some more analytical work I’ve already done on these pieces, and turn the whole thing into a core chapter of my eventual book on Beach.
