This seminar will examine connections between music theory and cognitive science. We will survey contemporary music — theoretical writings that draw on research in schema theory, conceptual metaphor theory, ecological perception, and theories of embodied and grounded cognition to provide insights into musical experience and musical meaning. Historical antecedents for these cognitive perspectives will also be discussed.
