A Sweeter Music: Two Essays and a Colloquy on an Elgar Part‐Song
ABSTRACT Edward Elgar's 1907 part‐song ‘There Is Sweet Music’ (Op. 53 No. 1) is at once a ‘minor’ piece and a highly significant one that richly rewards investigation.

Testing Schenkerian theory: an experiment on the perception of key distances [PDF]
The lack of attention given to Schenkerian theory by empirical research in music is striking when compared to its status in music theory as a standard account of tonality. In this paper I advocate a different way of thinking of Schenkerian theory that
