This volume provides a wide ranging and up-to-date account of human perception and production of musical structures, with a strong emphasis on empirical investigation, and the cognitive psychological principles underlying the intuitively based theorizing prevalent within the fields of music study. The first two thirds of the book focus mainly on music perception while the final third considers instrumental and vocal production. Topics covered include models of musical structure, recall of melodies, the perception and production of rhythm, the use of contour and internal information in melody recognition, and many more. The integration of state-of-the-art research with relevant background information provides a volume that will be essential reading for graduates, researchers, and advanced undergraduates in music psychology and of great relevance to musicologists and music students. FROM THE PREFACE: Music plays an important part in the lives of people of many cultures, serving as a component of ritual and as a source of recreation. The forms it may take vary from culture to culture and change over time. One integral feature of music that remains constant is that it involves the patterning or structuring of sound. Music theory provides ways of describing structure in music, but to comprehend musical structure fully we must focus on the human activities and capacities that give rise to and respond to it. The chapters in this volume describe recent advances in our understanding of musical structure as it exists in perception and performance. The scope of the volume is intended to be broad. The content ranges from an analysis of systems of pitch organisation in music theory to an account of the constraints on musical structure that may be imposed by the human motor system. The emphasis is on empirical investigation, and the need to base theoretical accounts of musical structure on extramusical principles relating to human cognition. Though the primary purpose of this volume is to convey the "state of the art" in the study of musical cognition, many of the chapters should be accessible to undergraduate students of music and psychology, and contain sufficient background material to provide an introduction to important topics within the field.

In this book, David Temperley addresses a fundamental question about music cognition: how do we extract basic kinds of musical information, such as meter, phrase structure, counterpoint, pitch spelling, harmony, and key from music as we hear it? Taking a computational approach, Temperley develops models for generating these aspects of musical structure. The models he proposes are based on preference rules, which are criteria for evaluating a possible structural analysis of a piece of music. A preference rule system evaluates many possible interpretations and chooses the one that best satisfies the rules. After an introductory chapter, Temperley presents preference rule systems for generating six basic kinds of musical structure: meter, phrase structure, contrapuntal structure, harmony, and key, as well as pitch spelling (the labeling of pitch events with spellings such as A flat or G sharp). He suggests that preference rule systems not only show how musical structures are inferred, but also shed light on other aspects of music. He substantiates this claim with discussions of musical ambiguity, retrospective revision, expectation, and music outside the Western canon (rock and traditional African music). He proposes a framework for the description of musical styles based on preference rule systems and explores the relevance of preference rule systems to higher-level aspects of music, such as musical schemata, narrative and drama, and musical tension.

This text comprises of reviews of work relating to music and mind. It presents a range of approaches from the psychological through the computational, to the musicological. The reviews were selected from papers submitted at the Third International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition Liege 1994 to illustrate the wide range of perspectives now being adopted in studying how humans make and respond to music. The book is divided ino five sections. The first part illustrates the role of analysis and ethnomusicology in understanding cultural determinants of musical behaviour. The second part charts what is known about aquisition of musical competence, from pre-birth through to the expert performer. The evidence accumulated about specific areas of the brain which control musical thinking and behaviour is examined in Part Three. The fourth part examines how neurological, behavioural and artificial intelligence approaches are converging to shed light on processes in auditory perception. Finally, Part Five highlights the important developments in how we conceptualize the way in which musical structures are represented in the mind.

In this work, Eugene Narmour extends the unique theories of musical perception presented in The Analysis and Cognition of Basic Melodic Structures. The two books together constitute the first comprehensive theory of melody founded on psychological research. Narmour's earlier study dealt with cognitive relations between melodic tones at their most basic level. After summarizing the formalized methodology of the theory described in that work, Narmour develops an elaborate and original symbology to show how sixteen archetypes can combine to form some 200 complex structures that, in turn, can chain together in a theoretically infinite number of ways. He then explains and speculates on the cognitive operations by which listeners assimilate and ultimately encode these complex melodic structures. More than 250 musical examples from different historical periods and non-Western cultures demonstrate the panstylistic scope of Narmour's model. Of particular importance to music theorists and music historians is Narmour's argument that melodic analysis and formal analysis, though often treated separately, are in fact indissolubly linked. The Analysis and Cognition of Melodic Complexity will also appeal to ethnomusicologists, psychologists, and cognitive scientists.
