Taylor & Francis Mathematical Music
Book SynopsisMathematical Music offers a concise and easily accessible history of how mathematics was used to create music. The story presented in this short, engaging volume ranges from ratios in antiquity to random combinations in the 17th century, 20th-century statistics, and contemporary artificial intelligence. This book provides a fascinating panorama of the gradual mechanization of thought processes involved in the creation of music. How did Baroque authors envision a composition system based on combinatorics? What was it like to create musical algorithms at the beginning of the 20th century, before the computer became a reality? And how does this all explain todayâs use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in music? In addition to discussing the history and the present state of mathematical music, Braguinski also takes a look at what possibilities the near future of music AI might hold for listeners, musicians, and the society.Grounded in research findinTrade ReviewThis wide-ranging book, accessible to those without extensive background in either music or mathematics, provides a fascinating history of the interrelationship between these two. Braguinski explains, with concrete examples, how recent musical AI is innovative in many ways, but how it also rests on deep foundations built in centuries past.Nick Montfort, Professor of Digital Media, MIT, and Director of The Trope TankTable of ContentsList of figuresAcknowledgmentsComposing with numbers (overview of this book)From continuities... 1 Not a revolution (introduction) 2 Since antiquity 3 Since the Middle Ages 4 Since the early modern period 5 Since the 19th century 6 Since 1900 7 Since 1950 ... to possibilities 8 Powerful and limited (introduction) 9 How does deep learning work? 10 Putting music AI in perspective 11 Real-world music AI 12 Mass-produced and still individual 13 Avant-garde becomes pop’s aide Conclusion Glossary BibliographyIndex

Taylor & Francis Reimagining Music Theory
Book SynopsisReimagining Music Theory: Contexts, Communities, Creativities invites instructors to rethink how we teach music theory, challenging the traditional, classical canon-based pedagogy and offering new and alternative approaches.The study and teaching of music theory are at a crucial and invigorating crossroads, as conversations are being held about contesting canons, transforming pedagogical practices, and finding meaningful ways to make the field inclusive and diverse in repertoire, methods, and student experiences. This book aims to reimagine music theory as an explicitly and radically dialogic, creative, nimble transdisciplinary space where thinking and acting can be both deep and broad, where pluralities of knowledge systems and ways of doing and being can interact and mutually inform one another, and where teachers learn from students as much as the other way around. Rethinking what counts as music fundamentals, opening music theory to a plurality of global practices,

Taylor & Francis Ltd Streaming Sounds
In a time when music streaming has become the dominant mode of consuming music recordings, this book interrogates how users go about listening to music in their everyday lives in a context where streaming services are focused on not only the circulation of music for users but also the circulation of user data and attention.Drawing insights directly from interviews with users, music streaming is explained as never merely a neutral technology but rather one that seeks to actively shape user engagement. Users respond to streaming platforms with some relishing these aspects that provide music to be drawn into daily activities while others show signs of resistance. It is this tension that this book explores. This unique and accessible study will be ideal reading for both scholars and students of popular music studies, communication studies, sociology, media and cultural studies.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Music in the Data
Book SynopsisPutting forward an extensive new argument for a humanities-based approach to big-data analysis, The Music in the Data shows how large datasets of music, or music corpora, can be productively integrated with the qualitative questions at the heart of music research. The author argues that as well as providing objective evidence, music corpora can themselves be treated as texts to be subjectively read and creatively interpreted, allowing new levels of understanding and insight into music traditions.Each chapter in this book asks how we define a core music-theory topic, such as style, harmony, meter, function, and musical key, and then approaches the topic through considering trends within large musical datasets, applying a combination of quantitative analysis and qualitative interpretation. Throughout, several basic techniques of data analysis are introduced and explained, with supporting materials available online.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Malmariée in the ThirteenthCentury Motet
Book SynopsisThis monograph offers a comprehensive study of the topos of the malmariée or the unhappily married woman within the thirteenth-century motet repertory, a vocal genre characterized by several different texts sounding simultaneously over a foundational Latin chant. Part I examines the malmariée motets from three vantage points: (1) in light of contemporaneous canonist views on marriage; (2) to what degree the French malmariée texts in the upper voices treat the messages inherent in the underlying Latin chant through parody and/or allegory; and (3) interactions among upper-voice texts that invite additional interpretations focused on gender issues.Part II investigates the transmission profile of the motets, as well as of their refrains, revealing not only intertextual refrain usage between the motets and other genres, but also a significant number of shared refrains between malmariée motets and other motets. Part II furthermore offers insights on the Table of ContentsList of Music ExamplesList of ManuscriptsList of AbbreviationsManscriptsOther AbbreviationsIntroductionMarriage: Mutual Consent and Marital DebtPortrayals of Marriage in Literature and SongPart I.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Ethnomusicology and its Intimacies
Book SynopsisEthnomusicology and its Intimacies situates intimacy, a concept that encompasses a wide range of often informal social practices and processes for building closeness and relationality, within the ethnomusicological study of music and sound. These scholarly essays reflect on a range of interactions between individuals and communities that deepen connections and associations, and which may be played out relatively briefly or nurtured over time.Three major sections on Performance, Auto/biographical Strategies, and Film are each prefaced by an interview with a scholar or practitioner with close knowledge of the subject that links the chapters in that section. Often drawing directly on fieldwork experience in a variety of contexts, authors consider how concepts of intimacy can illuminate the ethnographic study of music, addressing questions such as: how can we understand ethnomusicological and ethnographic research and performance as processes of musically mediated intimaTable of ContentsList of FiguresNotes on ContributorsIntroductionPart I: Musical Intimacy in PerformanceIntrospection I Chapter 1: The Intimacy of InterlockingChapter 2: Spiritual and Emotional Dimensions of Female Lullaby Singing in AfghanistanChapter 3: Afghan Wars and Musical IntimacyPart II: Intimate Confessions and Biographical StrategiesIntrospection II Chapter 4: Radio and the Music ConfessionalChapter 5: Amīr Kòhusraw Between Balkh and Delhi: The Transnational Legacies of an Indo-Afghan Poet-Musician Chapter 6: Meetings With Masterly Musicians: Collaboration, Creation, and Curation in the Pursuit of Ethnomusicological KnowledgeChapter 7: Searching for a Voice: An Anatolian TalePart III: Filmic IntimaciesIntrospection III Chapter 8: Intimacy in Ethnographic Film: Listening to How to Improve the World by Nguyễn Trinh ThiChapter 9: The Sonic Intimacies of Khosrow Sinai’s A Lost Requiem (1983)Chapter 10: Intoxicated Intimacies: Drunken Heroes in Greek Popular Film and SongEpilogue: Digital Ethnomusicology in a Socially-Distanced World
