Rhythmic Patterns Reflecting Cognitive Constraints and Aesthetic Ideals
This paper focuses on basic rhythmic patterns in terms of their contribution to the characterization of various styles that reflect different aesthetic ideals, and thereby to link the fields of cognition and musicology. The aesthetic ideal is realized in various ways; the one examined here concerns the degree of definability (in comparative rather than precise quantitative terms) of the rhythmic organization, which may be manifested on various le…

Concurrence and Nonconcurrence between Learned and Natural Schemata
The concept of concurrence/nonconcurrence is significant in many areas outside music. Here we observe it as an important parameter in characterizing a musical style, and even an esthetic ideal. We attempt to discover its diverse overt and latent appearances – between parameters, between units, and between learned and natural schemata – and to find a regularity governing its use (in written music and not in the performance practice). The study was…
Constant and variable influences on stages of musical activities
In this study, we suggest a network of links among musical activities and external and internal factors that influence these activities. Specifically, we examine the influences of cognitive constraints, of the stylistic ideal, and of the listener's consciousness on the rules governing the selection of the raw material, on the compositional rules, and on the way these are perceived. Our intention is to increase our understanding both of musical ac…
Hearing beyond the spectrum
In this work we focus on the problem of acoustic signals modeling and analysis, with particular interest in models that can capture the timbre of musical sounds. Traditional methods usually relate to several “dimensions” which represent the spectral properties of the signal and their change in time. Here we confine ourselves to the stationary portion of the sound signal, the analysis of which is generalized by incorporating polyspectral technique…
Response to intervals as revealed by brainwave measurement and verbal means
The purpose of this study was to enhance understanding of the meaning of the interval as a musical parameter. This was done by examining both verbal reports and brainwave (Event‐Related Potential, or ERP) responses to intervals. In an experiment with ERP (the oddball task), we examined the responses of listeners trained in Western music to isolated harmonic intervals. In the verbal experiment, we repeated the ERP experiment and added trials with …
The Interdependence of Notation Systems and Musical Information
Explorations in the Music of the Samaritans
srael presents unique opportunities for ethnomusicological research given that various cultural groups, suddenly transplanted from many parts of the world, are juxtaposed in a small geographic area. Essentially, there are three basic problems which present themselves. First of all, one can study the music of each of the many groups before changes take place. Secondly, one can observe the process of acculturation as it is reflected in music. Third…
