Our sense that a waltz is "in three" or a blues song is "in four
with a shuffle" comes from our sense of musical meter. Hearing in
Time explores the metric aspect of our musical experience from a
psychological point of view. Musical meter is taken as a
musically-specific instance entrainment, that is, our more general
ability to synchronize our actions to the rhythms around us. As
such, musical meter is subject to a number of fundamental
perceptual and cognitive constraints. These constraints are the
cornerstones of Hearing in Time's account of musical meter. Hearing
in Time also takes into account the fact that listening to music,
like many other rhythmic activities, is something that we do a lot.
It also approaches musical meter in the context of music as it is
actually performed, with nuances of timing and dynamics, rather
than as a theoretical ideal. Hearing in Time's approach to meter is
not based on any particular musical style or cultural practice, and
so it discusses musical examples from a wide range of musical
styles and cultures-from Beethoven and Bach to Brubeck and Ghanaian
(Ewe) drumming. In taking this broad approach a number of
fundamental similarities between a variety of different metric
phenomena-such as the difference between so-called simple versus
complex or additive meters-become apparent. Hearing in Time is
written for musicians, musicologists, music theorists and
psychologists who are interested in rhythm and meter. Only a modest
ability read a musical score is presumed, and most musical examples
are taken from familiar popular and classical repertory.
