  • The Dawn of Music Semiology: Essays in Honor of Jean-Jacques Nattiez. Edited by Jonathan Dunsby and Jonathan Goldman. Rochester
    The Dawn of Music Semiology: Essays in Honor of Jean-Jacques Nattiez. Edited by Jonathan Dunsby and Jonathan Goldman. Rochester, NY: University of Rochester Press, 2017. 228 pp. ISBN 9781580465625. https://boydellandbrewer.com/the-dawn-of-music- semiology.html Reviewed by: Jason Noble, McGill University The Dawn of Music Semiology: Essays in Honor of Jean- Jacques Nattiez pays tribute to the influential semiologist in the form of an ambitious and valuable set of contributions representing “some of the latest thinking about the nature and purpose of music semiology” (p. 1). These essays build upon ideas from Nattiez’s numerous publications, some of which are listed in a selected bibliography. The book is organized into three parts: “Metaconsiderations,” “Poietic Channels,” and “Esthesic Excursions,” providing a cogent structure by which to navigate the diverse subjects covered: the first section focuses on philosophical critique, the second contrasts methods of textual analysis, and the third emphasizes contexts of interpretation. The first entry in “Metaconsiderations,” and a highlight of the book, is “Theorizing Gesture,” a chapter from Jean Molino’s Le singe musicien: essais de sémiologie et anthropologie de la musique (2009), here translated into English for the first time. Molino states that music is “complex, heterogeneous, involving the inherent participation of the body as well as the gestures of its producers and listeners. Thus there is no pure music” (p. 13). It may be no coincidence that Molino’s reintegration of music and gesture—soul (or mind) and body—comes at a time when embodied cognition in music research is beginning to come of age.

  • Abstract & Program Notes
    2019 CMS NATIONAL CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS & PROGRAM NOTES Updated October 15, 2019 Abramo, Joseph Michael see Bernard, Cara Faith (Urban High School Students’ of Color and their Teachers’ Perceived Barriers to Access to University Schools of Music) Albert, Daniel Paper: Reconceptualizing the Audition for the 21st century Music Student The traditional performance-based audition has served as a means to exclude prospective collegiate students who do not exhibit outstanding musicality through means that are not validated by an academy who largely operate within a nineteenth century construct of musicianship (Koza, 2008; Sarath, Myers, & Campbell, 2017). Additionally, these auditions might not yield information on behavioral traits and characteristics that are critical to certain programs, such as leadership skills for music education and therapy students. How can institutions reconceptualize auditions to be more inclusive of 21st century musicianship and musical practices and glean information to empower students to make informed choices about pursuing potential fields of study? The purpose of this study was to examine an admissions assessment program established by the music faculty at one liberal arts institution to provide a more holistic view of students’ musicianship and skills and offer students feedback as to their readiness to successfully pursue degree requirements. An improvisation-based group creativity experience assessed students for creativity, engagement, leadership, and musicality. Students also performed a short audition, as well as completed an interview with faculty to assess students’ interests in and dispositions towards potential programs within the music major. Results suggest several benefits of the program, including increased representation of multiple types of musicianship, a greater sense of community amongst students, and improved relationships between faculty and students.
