The ‘English’ cadence: reading an early modern musical trope Early Music Pub Date : 2021-04-05 Eleanor Chan
Twisting through a dissonant flattened 7th now more commonly recognized as the Jazz ‘blue’ 7th, the ‘English’ cadence is a distinctive feature of early modern English music. Typically embedded within the texture of a piece in an inner part, this distinctive voice-leading pattern works by pulling against its own regularity: it highlights its predictability, the regularity of the cadence, by spiralling

Co-regulated timing in music ensembles: A Bayesian listener perspective Journal of New Music Research (IF 0.702) Pub Date : 2021-04-05 Marc Leman
Co-regulated timing in a music ensemble rests on the human capacity to coordinate actions in time. Here we explore the hypothesis that humans predict timing constancy in coordinated actions, in view of timing their own actions in line with the others. An algorithm (BListener) is presented that predicts timing constancy, using Bayesian inference about incoming timing data from the music ensemble. The
