专业概况

在这里学什么？

Northwestern’s Program in Music Theory and Cognition is unique in its combination of two related disciplines that share a common goal: to examine how musical structure interacts with creativity (composition, improvisation), performance (reproduction, movement), and reception (listening and interpretation).

The concept of the “listener” is thematic to our research, and inherently rich and diversified in its definition and application: it includes the reconstruction of historical listeners circumscribed by stylistic conventions as much as it accounts for contemporary listeners’ experiences of global soundscapes and electronic media. We understand the interactions of music theory and cognition as fluid and capable of taking different forms and using different methodologies. This includes music theory informed by cultural and historical knowledge of listening environments and current research in cognition, as well as empirical research involving methods such as corpus studies, lab experiments, and fieldwork.

This breadth of epistemological perspective and diversity of methodological approaches is reflected in the wide spectrum of repertoires studied by our internationally acclaimed faculty, reaching from the eighteenth century to electronic dance music.
