Her guidance and support during my entire tenure at Florida State have proven to be invaluable resources, for which I cannot thank her enough. I also extend my appreciation to Professor James Mathes (whose doctoral seminar provided the initial inspi- ration for this research) and to Professors Matthew Shaftel and Charles Brewer, for lending me their unique perspectives and insightful critiques. I would also like to thank the rest of the Music Theory faculty at Florida State. Their vast knowledge and constant encourage- ment helped keep me focused and motivated.
