LINGUIST 197M, SPRING 2018. CLASS 5.2 3 CHRISTOPHER WHITE: MUSIC THEORY TALK Friday, February 23, 2:30pm, FAC Room 365, FREE "WHAT IF HARMONIC SYNTAX IS ACTUALLY ALL ABOUT METER?" by Christopher White, Assistant Professor of Music Theory, UMass Amherst. Part of the RESEARCH IN MUSIC SERIES. Abstract: What if composers choose chords not because of harmonic function or syntax, but primarily to support a piece's meter? I ask this question by creating and validating a generative harmonic model that relies not on a matrix of chord transitions, but rather on a suite of metric/harmonic “rules.” To derive these rules, I undertake a corpus analysis to identify the kinds of chords and chord changes that appear on strong and weak metric pulses, namely that more pitch class change occurs on stronger pulses, as do the tonic, subdominant, and dominant triads. I then create a model to generate harmonic progressions within a duple metric grid using these properties. The output is then validated against 1) several other models derived from corpora of tonal music, 2) an expert model derived from music theory, and 3) a baseline model; the model is found to behave reasonably similar to the corpus models. I end by outlining the larger implications of these findings, including the speculation that these meter/harmony overlaps might exert influence across various repertoires that rely on both diatonic harmony and metric grids.
