"This collection of published and unpublished essays from the 1990s ranges from analyses of classical music to witty arguments about the merits and demerits of modernism and postmodernism to philosophical considerations of time, tempo, and performance. Rather than taking a technical approach accessible only to composers and musicologists, George Edwards addresses a wide audience of musically cultivated readers. His essays include philoso ..."
Composition and Cognition(1st Edition) Reflections on Contemporary Music and the Musical Mind by FredLerdahl Paperback, 160 Pages, Published 2019 by University Of California Press ISBN-13: 978-0-520-30510-6, ISBN: 0-520-30510-8
"In Composition and Cognition, renowned composer and theorist Fred Lerdahl builds on his careerlong work of developing a comprehensive model of music cognition. Bringing together his dual expertise in composition and music theory, he reveals the way in which his research has served as a foundation for his compositional style and how his intuitions as a composer have guided his cognitively oriented theories. At times personal and reflecti ..."
"The seminal theory developed here grew out of the collaboration of composer Fred Lerdahl and linguist Ray Jackendoff. The authors create a synthesis of the outlook and methodology of contemporary linguistics with the insights of recent music theory. Their book presents a generative grammar of music that relates the aural surface of a piece to the musical structure unconsciously inferred by the experienced listener. While this approach i ..."

"Building on the foundation of Lerdahl and Jackendoff's influential A Generative Theory of Tonal Music, this volume presents a multidimensional model of diatonic and chromatic spaces that quantifies listeners' intuitions of the relative distances of pitches, chords, and keys from a given tonic. The model is employed to assign prolongational structure, represent paths through the space, and compute patterns of tension and attraction as mu ..."

"This book explores the relationships between language, music, and the brain by pursuing four key themes and the crosstalk among them: song and dance as a bridge between music and language; multiple levels of structure from brain to behavior to culture; the semantics of internal and external worlds and the role of emotion; and the evolution and development of language.
