SMT History of Theory Interest Group Business Meeting Workshop, 2019 Conference, Columbus, OH Friday, 11/8, 12:30pm–2pm Location: Harrison Triple Time from 1470–1800 Distinguished Guest Ruth DeFord together with: Roger Mathew Grant Emily Zazulia Today, triple meters are deceptively familiar. We routinely introduce them in the context of fundamentals courses as though they were enduring, immutable facets of musical notation and performance. But has triple time always been the same? Research in historical music theory suggests the existence of multiple types of triple meters, differing in terminology, notation, musical style, and tempo. What’s more, these different types of triples may have persisted through complex changes in mensural theory, compositional practice, and print history. Certain basic questions—such as how many beats each triple measure contained and the proper duration of each beat—require careful attention to historical sources. In this workshop we will collectively and interactively explore several quandaries concerning triple division, drawing connections in historical music theory from the fifteenth through the eighteenth centuries. All are welcome to join and participate! _______________________________________________ AMS-Announce mailing list and bulletin board: WANT TO SUBMIT A POST?
