Department of Music Theory

The Department of Music Theory is distinguished by the range of achievement in scholarship of both the faculty and students, and by the broad diversity of approaches we foster in research and in teaching. One of the guiding principles of the department is that music theory does not stand alone as a specialty, but is integrated with both other musical and extra-musical disciplines. Faculty expertise ranges from traditional specializations to the forefront of theory and practice, and all are internationally distinguished members of the theory community with highly respected publishing records. Students at all levels are encouraged to advance scholarship in the field of music theory through exploration of the latest research in a wide range of cognate fields such as art history, literature, mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and psychology. Musical performance experience provides a foundation for the development, investigation, and critique of ideas about music. Furthermore, small classes make possible lively discussion of music exploring analytical and theoretical questions.



Faculty

Active as composers and performers as well as scholars, the music theory faculty contribute field-leading research in counterpoint, Schenkerian analysis, analysis for performers, chromaticism, text-music relations, tonal and post-tonal forms, pedagogy, history of theory, sketch and source study, Ars subtilior and neo-medievalism, music of the Second Viennese School, 20th-century rhythm, the analysis of jazz, rock and pop music, film music, electronic music, cognitive theory, metatheory, music and mathematics, music-language connections, critical theory, philosophy of music, the sociology of knowledge, music and politics, literary theory, theories of gender, feminism and sexuality, and the musics of many particular composers, genres and worldwide styles. This range enables highly diverse seminars and independent studies at both undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as dissertation support that is broad and deep.

Degrees

Distinguished by the range of achievement in scholarship, and by the broad diversity of approaches fostered in research and in teaching, a guiding principle of the department is that music theory does not stand alone as a specialty, but is integrated with both other musical and extra-musical disciplines. 

Research

The Department of Music Theory is distinguished by the range of achievement in scholarship of both the faculty and students and by the broad diversity of approach which is fostered. One of the guiding principles of the department is that music theory does not stand alone as a discipline.

Faculty members are active as composers, performers, and interdisciplinary scholars in such areas as philosophy, psychology, and critical studies. Students explore cognate fields such as art history, literature, philosophy, linguistics, and psychology to advance inquiry in the field of music theory. Areas of scholarly interest represented by faculty members and in course offerings include theories of musical experience, as well as post-tonal theory, Schenkerian theory, twelve-tone theory, transformational theory, theories of style, gender, jazz, popular music, and the study of the compositional process.
