This Volume II of the Proceedings of the Worldwide Music Conference
2021 continues the line of publications of the first volume in a
highly interdisciplinary mode. This time, we offer eight chapters
that provide the in-depth study of music in four large sub-fields:
mathematics, language and theory of narrative, evolution and
perception, and, finally, sociology. The first chapter, by Roman
Ruditsa, is devoted to the study of structural pitch organization.
This is based upon a formal logical interpretation of the idea of
pitch. The chapter contains formal definitions of such objects as
tones, intervals, and interval systems and a demonstration of the
logical relationships that exist between them. The second chapter,
in the same mathematical venue, by Celina Richter and Stefan E.
Schmidt, revisits the millennial question of the essence of an
interval, using highly advanced mathematical language, the
categories of monoid and the algebraic theory of measurement. The
next block is dedicated to language and narrative; the first
chapter is by Vincent Meelberg. Here, the reader will find
fascinating developments in the ongoing deliberations on this
elusive category. The name of Trevor Rawbone, perhaps, does not
need an introduction to those involved with cognitive studies of
music. This time, his chapter deals with the idea of the language
of musical thought, which shifts the traditional discussion of
language into a very new dimension. Carlos Almada begins a new
section in the book, the one dedicated to evolution and perception.
He begins with Darwin and takes us through the exciting path of
development of the science of evolution, which he masterfully
connects to his model of derivative analysis of music. The question
of psycho-physiological foundation of the ethnic hearing, raised in
the chapter by lla V. Toropova and Irina N. Simakova, is a
difficult one. The idea of ethnic character of music had been a
part of traditional musicology and usually was expressed in
specific language of humanities. The chapter by Daniil Shutko on
the theoretical ideas of the legendary professor of St. Petersburg
conservatory, Dr. Tatiana Bershadskaya, was difficult to put into
any category. Her concept of music was truly universal and
interdisciplinary. At the same time, the concept and Shutko's
description are as closely focused on music theory in a narrow and
precise sense as possible. The art and culture of consumption of
wine in correlation with the choice of music for listening is a
theme for a true connoisseur. It becomes even more intriguing when
the authors, Diego Perez-Fuertes, Emma Juaneda-Ayensa and Cristina
Olarte-Pascual, add to the discussion the special circumstance of
the pandemic and the way human spirit meets this challenge in the
most graceful way.
