We are pleased to announce the publication of a new issue of Music Theory Online.
It is officially summer, and, as reliably as the turning over of the seasons, Music Theory Online is ready with a release of a fresh issue: Volume 30, No. 2. The seven articles within present on topics ranging from traditional contrapuntal theory to prosody and formal function in pop music, from Baroque schema theory to issues of pitch organization, topic, and gesture in twentieth- and twenty-first-century concert music.
We, the brave and generous members of the editorial team and staff, would be thrilled to have you join us at our corner of the Internet this July and August. Both meteorologically and intellectually speaking, it’s going to be a scorcher!
Best Regards,
Brent Auerbach
Editor, Music Theory Online
