" ... The first book to provide a systematic and accessible computational geometric analysis of the musical rhythms of the world. It explains how the study of the mathematical properties of musical rhythm generates common mathematical problems that arise in a variety of seemingl…
This book is about creating rhythms via a mathematical approach that uses combinatorics, de Bruijn sequences, Christoffel words, paper folding, and probability. We don't expect the reader to know what any of these terms mean. They are all explained in the book. -- Back cover.
Rhythmanalysis displays all the characteristics which made Lefebvre one of the most important Marxist thinkers of the twentieth century. In the analysis of rhythms -- both biological and social -- Lefebvre shows the interrelation of space and time in the understanding of everyda…

This dissertation examines the metrical experiments of the Romantic poets, William Blake, Charlotte Smith, and John Clare, arguing that these poets saw meter and rhythm not merely as poetic operations but as agents of revelation, markers of linguistic evolution, and confirmation…
This dissertation examines the use of counterpoint in the music of New York guitarist Ben Monder, arguing that specific contrapuntal elements inform his musical expression and contribute to his unique voice in contemporary jazz. Published pedagogical literature on jazz compositi…
German performer and composer Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) represents one of the most popular and well-known musicians from the Romantic era. In November of 1820 at age 11, Mendelssohn started composing for the organ. His organ works range in difficulty from moderate to advance…
