Approaches to Rhythmic Analysis 2013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field9

Metric pattern modules 2013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field 10 Continuous information Durational change “intervals” Accentual values/weights Rhythmic patterns in blues (a) (b) (c) (d) Hauptmann (1853) Zarhipov (1965) Leppig (1987)

Accentual values, weights 2013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field 11 Lerdahl/Jackendoff (GTTM) Temperley Camberoupolous Singer Volk Narmour Jones

Pitch accents “Melodic” vs. “rhythmic” accen t  First, last pitches in phrase  Highest, lowest pitches in phrase  Various combinations of these in judgments of melodic similarity 2013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field12 Jones and Pfordresher (2003)
