The Vibrato Controversy [PDF]

open access: yesPerformance Practice Review, 1991
Today\u27s early music specialists either ban the use of vibrato or restrict it drastically. This position suffers from three principal weaknesses: the failure to understand the nature of a well-produced vibrato in which the so-called impurities of pitch

The role of musical pitch in long-distance defensive signaling. [PDF]

open access: yesAnn N Y Acad Sci
The function of pitch matching between hominins as a means of long‐distance deterrence of conspecifics is proposed. The evolution of different abilities related to pitch production and recognition is discussed. In particular, the emergence and role of culturally variable musical pitch elements as hallmarks of group identity are examined, in the context

ABSTRACT Julian Horton's 2020 article on the ‘necessity of analysis’ delineates previous critiques of music analysis into the performative and the historicist and counters their assumptions. He proposes that analysis remains viable in light of historical, ontological, systemic, discursive, phenomenological and political imperatives.

Preliminary evidence for selective cortical responses to music in one‐month‐old infants

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 26, Issue 5, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Prior studies have observed selective neural responses in the adult human auditory cortex to music and speech that cannot be explained by the differing lower‐level acoustic properties of these stimuli. Does infant cortex exhibit similarly selective responses to music and speech shortly after birth?

Evolution of female song and duetting in the chaffinch (Fringilla) species complex

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2023, Issue 3-4, March/April 2023., 2023
Female song is ancestral to songbirds and shows considerable phylogenetic signal, but its presence also appears to be labile and correlated with life‐history and ecology. While previous studies have examined the evolution of female song across species‐rich families, here we studied female song in island populations of a recently diverged species ...

Long‐term musical training induces white matter plasticity in emotion and language networks

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 5-17, January 2023., 2023
Musical training (both voice and piano) could enhance connectivity among emotion‐related regions of the brain, such as the amygdala. Voice training reshaped the architecture of experience‐dependent networks, such as those involved in vocal motor control, sensory feedback, and language processing. Long‐term musical training can strengthen or prune white
