This book introduces a theory of music analysis that one can use to
explore aspects of segmentation and associative organization in a
wide range of repertoire including Western classical music from the
Baroque to the present, with potential applications to jazz and
popular music, and some non-Western musics. Rather than a
methodology, the theory provides analysts with precise language and
a broad, flexible conceptual framework through which they can
formulate and investigate questions of interest and develop their
own interpretations of individual pieces and passages. The theory
begins with a basic distinction among three domains of musical
experience and discourse about it: the sonic (psychoacoustic); the
contextual (or associative, sparked by varying degrees of
repetition); and the structural (guided by a specific theory of
musical structure or syntax invoked by the analyst). A
comprehensive presentation of the theory, with copious musical
illustrations, is balanced with close analyses of works by
Beethoven, Debussy, Nancarrow, Riley, Feldman, and Morris. Dora A.
Hanninen is associate professor of music theory at the University
of Maryland. She received the 2010 Outstanding Publication Award
from the Society for Music Theory.
