Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the
cross-pollenization of world musical materials and practices has
accelerated precipitously, due in large part to advances in
higher-speed communications and travel. We live now in a world of
global musical practice that will only continue to blossom and
develop through the twenty-first century and beyond. Yet music
theory as an academic discipline is only just beginning to respond
to such a milieu. Conferences, workshops and curricula are for the
first time beginning to develop around the theme of 'world music
theory', as students, teachers and researchers recognize the need
for analytical concepts and methods applicable to a wider range of
human musics, not least the hybrid musics that influence (and
increasingly define) more and more of the world's musical
practices. Towards a Global Music Theory proposes a number of such
concepts and methods stemming from durational and acoustic
relationships between 'twos' and 'threes' as manifested in various
interrelated aspects of music, including rhythm, melody, harmony,
process, texture, timbre and tuning, and offers suggestions for how
such concepts and methods might be applied effectively to the
understanding of music in a variety of contexts. While some of the
bases for this foray into possible methods for a twenty-first
century music theory lie along well established acoustical and
psycho-acoustical lines, Dr Mark Hijleh presents a broad attempt to
apply them conceptually and comprehensively to a variety of musics
in a relevant way that can be readily apprehended and applied by
students, scholars and teachers.
