We investigated listening duration for 100 unfamiliar art music items from the Australian Music Centre (AMC) library, presented under four different exposure conditions: a continuous affect response task, text/photographic information, text only, and no information. Participants could skip each item, and provided post-excerpt liking or familiarity ratings. Time-series analysis models of listening duration, liking, and familiarity, showed no increase in successive item liking or familiarity, although user liking and familiarity, positively predicted listening duration. The data confirm that directing listeners’ attention to discerning affect can enhance their engagement with unfamiliar music.","PeriodicalId":16553,"journal":{"name":"Journal of New Music Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09298215.2020.1867588","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49013503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Palestrina’s masses are searched for progressions matching contrapuntal ‘rules’ taken from Vicentino (1555). Vicentino’s treatise provides a quasi-systematic organization of contrapuntal rules according to the minimum size of the vocal texture in which they ought to be set. Palestrina’s realizations of these progressions illustrate the exact size of vocal texture employed, enabling a direct comparison of theory and practice. The analysis reveals a general agreement, but suggests that Vicentino’s taxonomy is too strict. The results are examined in the context of uncovering guiding theoretical and perceptual principles.","PeriodicalId":16553,"journal":{"name":"Journal of New Music Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09298215.2021.1877729","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42103323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While improvisation relates to choosing the sequence of phrases at the larger time scales, we show that the categorical nature of the musical melodies is preserved through the interaction of the phrases with the changing melodic and rhythmic contexts.","PeriodicalId":16553,"journal":{"name":"Journal of New Music Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09298215.2021.1879171","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46049228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
