Journal of Mathematics and Music
Special Issue on Computational Music Analysis
Second Call For Papers (Deadline: August 31, 2009)
This is a call for papers for a Special Issue of the Journal of Mathematics and
Music, to focus on Computational Music Analysis in the context of Brahms'
String Quartet Op. 51 No.1, for publication in Summer 2010. The Journal of
Mathematics and Music aims to advance the use of mathematical modeling and
computational approaches in music theory, analysis, composition, and
performance. It is the official journal of the Society for Mathematics and
Computation in Music, an international forum for researchers and musicians
working at the intersection of music, mathematics, and computation. The Journal
launched its inaugural issue at the International Conference on Mathematics and
Computation in Music, in Berlin in 2007.
The Special Issue on Computational Music Analysis welcomes previously
unpublished contributions that present computational approaches of any type of
music analysis, applied to Brahms' String Quartet No.1. The aim of this issue
is to bring together and critically discuss diverse computational analytical
approaches and methodologies, such as structural, motivic, semiotic,
comparative, reductional, harmonic, transformational and others, using a
variety of computational implementation techniques, including those derived
from knowledge representation, artificial intelligence, mathematical modeling
and machine learning. By focusing the corpus of application of all methods to
the same piece, similarities, differences and complementarities among the
approaches on both the methodological and the analytical results levels can be
highlighted and discussed. Authors are particularly encouraged to consider
Allen Forte's (1983) and David Huron's (2001) analyses of the same piece, and
relate them to their own work if possible.
Submission Procedure
Prospective authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Instructions
for Authors as published in
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/17459737.asp. Note that papers should
not exceed 5000 words, which corresponds to approximately 10 pages in the
Journal. Longer papers have to be of exceptional quality in order to be
accepted. The on line edition of the Journal has the capability to provide
extended material in the form of sound files, applets, or similar electronic
media. Manuscripts should be sent to the Guest Editors.
Schedule
Extended Submission deadline: August 31, 2009
Notification of acceptance: November 15, 2009
Final manuscript due: February 15, 2010
Tentative publication date: July 2010
