Meter is the hierarchical framework against which the listener relates melodic complexes on the musical surface, and this metric foundation is key to the listener’s understanding of the musical fabric as a whole. While many theorists have discussed the relationship between musical surface and metric structure in Classical- and Romantic-era music, the rhythmic and structural underpinning of twentieth- century repertoires has received far less attention. In the tonal music of the Common Practice period, meter was relatively stable, but metric structure became increasingly complex in the twentieth century, with repertoires that avoid regularity across musical parameters.

The last bars of Grand Pianola Music (1981-2), for instance, sound crashingly final, even though the very end itself is abrupt and unprepared.

So too were the marching bands in which he played clarinet as a young student. Learning the basic European DU canon in front of the family Magnavox, Adams readily O assimilated it alongside the crazy quilt of American vernacular R music he encountered in the early postwar decades. Duke Ellington is a recurrent inspiration, and Adams’s love of jazz— which returns in unexpected forms, such as the improvisatory NT I “hypermelody” of the Violin Concerto (1993) or the electric violin’s raga-like musings in The Dharma at Big Sur (2003)— was early nurtured by his parents’ activities in jazz groups. As a student at Harvard during the cataclysmic upheavals of the late Sixties, Adams experienced the cognitive dissonance of the arid pronouncements of contemporary serialists when confronted with the fresh, Dionysian inventiveness of this golden age of rock.
