Many concepts and models in music theory previously thought
to be general are now known to be valid for one or only a
few traditions. Experimental music, drawing upon a range of
cultural/musical experience, while at the same time
connecting musical experience with physical and biological
phenomena, has revealed much conventional theory (but not
necessarily ancient theory) to be of limited application.
This seminar examines responses to these challenges.
Examples from different musics will be analyzed; traditional
theories will be examined, and the matter of universals will
be knocked about.
MAJOR READINGS
To be determined as the seminar develops.
