Building on the foundation of Lerdahl and Jackendoff's influential
A Generative Theory of Tonal Music, this volume presents a
multidimensional model of diatonic and chromatic spaces that
quantifies listeners' intuitions of the relative distances of
pitches, chords, and keys from a given tonic. The model is employed
to assign prolongational structure, represent paths through the
space, and compute patterns of tension and attraction as musical
events unfold, thereby providing a partial basis for understanding
musical narration, expectation, and expression. Conceived as both a
music-theoretic treatise and a contribution to the cognitive
science of music, this book will be of interest to music theorists,
musicologists, composers, computer musicians, and cognitive
psychologists.
