Canonic Threads And Large-Scale Structure In Canons, Alan Gosman Aug 2012

Canonic Threads And Large-Scale Structure In Canons, Alan Gosman

Gamut: Online Journal of the Music Theory Society of the Mid-Atlantic

This article introduces the concept of canonic threads: patterns made of alternating dux and comes notes, in which the notes are separated by the time interval of the canon. Canonic threads are developed using as focus pieces Bach’s Goldberg Variations and Brahms’s Variations on a Theme by Schumann, op. 9. Both sets present a compendium of canonic threads, and demonstrate how threads can integrate a theme’s harmonic and phrase-structural constraints into a variation with strict canonic form. The article also considers various techniques that allow an underlying template of canonic threads to function over a wide range of …


Svetlana Kurbatskaya On Serial Music: Twelve Categories Of "Twelve-Toneness", Zachary Cairns Aug 2012

Svetlana Kurbatskaya On Serial Music: Twelve Categories Of "Twelve-Toneness", Zachary Cairns

Gamut: Online Journal of the Music Theory Society of the Mid-Atlantic

Published in Moscow in 1996, Svetlana Kurbatskaya’s book Serial Music: Questions of History, Theory, Aesthetics (Seriynaya muzïka: voprosï istorii, teorii, estetiki) carries the interesting distinction of being the first Russian-language monograph devoted entirely to the study of serial music. In the second chapter, Kurbatskaya defines twelve different categories of what she calls “twelve-toneness” (dvenadtsatitonovost’). Considering this source alongside the Russian Musical Encyclopedic Dictionary (Muzïkal’nïy entsiklopedicheskiy slovar’), which includes different definitions for a number of terms that Western readers would generally consider to be essentially synonymous (i.e., serial music, serial technique, dodecaphony, twelve-tone music), one can begin to accept …


Disciplining Knowledge In Music Theory: Abstraction And The Recovery Of Dialectics, Karl D. Braunschweig Aug 2012

Disciplining Knowledge In Music Theory: Abstraction And The Recovery Of Dialectics, Karl D. Braunschweig

Gamut: Online Journal of the Music Theory Society of the Mid-Atlantic

A critical rethinking of disciplinary tendencies in music theory reveals several important historical moments when the process of abstraction has reshaped aspects of tonal theory in profound ways, notably in the areas of counterpoint, harmony, and form. These moments of abstraction prioritize one musical feature over others, and frequently involve a discursive process of dissociation to solidify the legitimacy of the abstraction and resolve lingering logical contradictions. This often leads to a theoretical and historical distancing from the contexts in which certain practices emerged, and risks severing aesthetic connections between technique and meaning. The resulting imbalance in one or more …


Agency And The Adagio: Mimetic Engagement In Barber's Op. 11 Quartet, Matthew Baileyshea Aug 2012

Agency And The Adagio: Mimetic Engagement In Barber's Op. 11 Quartet, Matthew Baileyshea

Gamut: Online Journal of the Music Theory Society of the Mid-Atlantic

Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings (1936) is undoubtedly the most famous elegiac work of the twentieth-century. We know it from movies, television, and highly publicized memorial services. Yet the music was originally written as the second movement of Barber’s string quartet, op. 11, with a number of interesting connections to the outer movements. This article highlights several recurring gestures throughout op. 11 that suggest the will of an individual “agent” struggling against gravity and weight. It proposes a broad, multi-movement narrative that draws together the three movements with a special focus on mimetic engagement, leading-tone resolution, and the quest for …
