First published in four volumes in the early 1980s, Charles
Smith’s Historic South Edinburgh has become a much sought-after
and extremely rare classic. This completely new edition combines
all four volumes into one, and has been completely revised and
updated with much new research and information. The opening of
North Bridge in 1772 was followed by an exodus, not simply to the
spacious elegance of Craig’s New Town, but to the rural seclusion
and open spaces of the South Side. Over the next hundred and fifty
years the city grew steadily southwards. As much as the more
familiar stories of the Old Town and the New Town, the story of the
South Side lies at the heart of Edinburgh and to this day it is
full of fascinating incident, extraordinary people and great
historic resonance. For any native of the city, Historic South
Edinburgh is an essential book. With many new illustrations, it is
a mine of information and anecdote for all who love Edinburgh.
Areas of Edinburgh covered are: The Meadows, Marchmont, Sciennes,
The Grange, Bruntsfield, Morningside, Braid, Blackford, Merchiston,
Craiglockhart, Swanston.
Essays in diatonic set theory, transformation theory, and
neo-Riemannian theory -- the newest and most exciting fields in
music theory today. The essays in Music Theory and Mathematics:
Chords, Collections, and Transformations define the state of
mathematically oriented music theory at the beginning of the
twenty-first century. The volume includes essays in diatonic set
theory, transformation theory, and neo-Riemannian theory -- the
newest and most exciting fields in music theory today. The essays
constitute a close-knit body of work -- a family in the sense of
tracing their descentfrom a few key breakthroughs by John Clough,
David Lewin, and Richard Cohn in the 1980s and 1990s. They are
integrated by the ongoing dialogue they conduct with one another.
The editors are Jack Douthett, a mathematician and music theorist
who collaborated extensively with Clough; Martha M. Hyde, a
distinguished scholar of twentieth-century music; and Charles J.
Smith, a specialist in tonal theory. The contributors are all
prominent scholars, teaching at institutions such as Harvard, Yale,
Indiana University, and the University at Buffalo. Six of them
(Clampitt, Clough, Cohn, Douthett, Hook, and Smith) have received
the Society for Music Theory's prestigious PublicationAward, and
one (Hyde) has received the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award. The
collection includes the last paper written by Clough before his
death, as well as the last paper written by David Lewin, an
important music theorist also recently deceased. Contributors:
David Clampitt, John Clough, Richard Cohn, Jack Douthett, Nora
Engebretsen, Julian Hook, Martha Hyde, Timothy Johnson, Jon
Kochavi, David Lewin, Charles J. Smith, and Stephen Soderberg.
