13th November, Workshop on Neo-Riemannian Analysis
13:30-14:00 Introduction and short open discussion on ‘works’ and ‘texts’
14:00-15:00 Session 1 – An Introduction to neo-Riemannian analysis (Prof. Ramon Satyendra)
The first session takes up questions on the application of triadic neo-Riemannian theory to analysis. We will discuss characteristic types of triadic progression that suggest a neo-Riemannian approach, and analytical considerations that arise when a neo-Riemannian type of progression embeds (or is embedded into) progressions of other types. We will also look at expanding the reach of a neo-Riemannian approach by creating a larger system that combines neo-Riemannian operations with pitch-class transpositions and inversions. In this larger system, we will evaluate the analytical possibilities of “system modulation,” the technique of modulating a chord network by an “external” transformation so as to create new progressions from old in a way that preserves essential features.
15:00-15:15 Break
15:15-16:45 Session 2 – Creating hybrid methodologies (Prof. Ramon Satyendra)
The second session considers applications of neo-Riemannian theory to the analysis of post-tonal music through a theoretical extension, the “generalized contextual group,” that enables neo-Riemannian transformations to be applied to pitch collections of any type or size (except the bare tritone). Also considered will be the analysis of chord voicings from a neo-Riemannian perspective–an application that also involves the generalized contextual group.
16:45-17:30 Break
17:30-18:30 Session 3 – neo-Riemannian Visualisations (Bozhidar Chapkanov), and Q&A.
18:30-18:45 Break
18:45-19:45 Session 4 – Reflections and Final Remarks
