These investigations take a range of analytical approaches, often adapted to the specifics of the improvised musicking being examined. This paper synthesizes existing concepts and theories to produce a framework for improvisation that is applicable to the social analysis of a wide range of improvisatory musical practices. The three foundational tenets of this framework are: (1) improvisation is one musical property among many that occurs to varying degrees and in different ways that fluctuate across space, time, and relevant actors; (2) the interactions between musical improvisation and the other properties of a given musical event are crucial for understanding its social implications; and (3) understanding these properties and their interactions requires examining the specific actions taken by improvisers in context. After outlining these tenets, the paper explores the role of various social, material, and individual factors in shaping improvisation and why examining these is crucial to social analysis. Finally, the paper demonstrates this model with a brief analysis of musical improvisation’s political impacts during the cacerolazos of the 2001–2002 Argentine Financial Crisis. The result of this paper is a theorization of improvisatory musicking especially suited to social analysis.","PeriodicalId":44994,"journal":{"name":"MUSIC THEORY SPECTRUM","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141614465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this essay on US-based transgender Indigenous Mexican choral composer Mari Esabel Valverde, I let my consideration of “trans music theory” be guided by her view that writers have sensationalized trans identity, and that while she celebrates trans lives in her choral work Our Phoenix (2016), she is not attempting to create music that “sounds” transgender. With Valverde in mind, I construct an intersectional interpretive framework that calls for various kind of limits (the limits of queering, of authorial subjectivity, and of the notion of “unconscious” expression of identity) and proposes essential conditions (the centrality of the voices, bodies, and musical structures of trans composers) that create an ethical environment for a compassionate trans music theory to emerge.","PeriodicalId":44994,"journal":{"name":"MUSIC THEORY SPECTRUM","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141608602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that this relationship is reciprocal and that Bernard Herrmann’s score for the film affects the perception of the plot despite the generally accepted conventions of understanding film music as subordinate to overall cinematic structure. Using methodologies ranging from Schenkerian theory to analytical approaches to popular music, I suggest that the tonal structure unfolds in two broad episodes that segment the film and help us interpret it from the protagonist’s psychological perspective through the alignment of strong cadential points with important kernel events in the plot.","PeriodicalId":44994,"journal":{"name":"MUSIC THEORY SPECTRUM","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141608603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Motivic counterpoint problematizes the movement’s main rondo theme, placing initial cracks in the movement’s rondo façade. Through thematic and formal counterpoint, the rondo genre itself destabilizes as signifiers of sonata-form rhetoric intrude. To interpret how counterpoint and generic mixture contribute to the burlesque character of the movement, I consider theoretical accounts of parody and the burlesque, and I adapt, as a generative metaphor, Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of the carnivalesque. In the context of the Ninth Symphony’s transsymphonic narrative, the Rondo-Burleske performs a carnival parody of the symphonic finale genre, functioning as a brazen, iconoclastic, but in the end, failed counterpart to the first movement.","PeriodicalId":44994,"journal":{"name":"MUSIC THEORY SPECTRUM","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141516508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, I propose the opposite approach: considering lyrics as a form of music-setting, in which the lyricist’s superimposition of a verbal form (the rhyme scheme) upon the composer’s pre-existing musical form counts as an act of analysis. I examine in turn: (1) the most common phrase structures and their associated rhyme schemes in songs from 1919 to 1943; (2) Lorenz Hart’s negotiation of the unusual XYYZ phrase structure that Richard Rodgers frequently employed; and (3) special cases where the lyricist contests the composer’s form and the effect that this can have on performers’ choices.","PeriodicalId":44994,"journal":{"name":"MUSIC THEORY SPECTRUM","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139053318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The group acts on a set of twenty-one objects: the seven diatonic triads differentiated by the three closed-position inversions. After constructing the transformation group as an abstract voice-leading space, I interpret the system as an instrumental space (De Souza 2017) that captures the chord shapes required to play triadic progressions on a keyboard. This emphasis on the space’s ability to capture such chord shapes leads to generalizations of the system that explore interactions between voice leading and chord spacing using geometric and diatonic theory.","PeriodicalId":44994,"journal":{"name":"MUSIC THEORY SPECTRUM","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135723563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
