“The Changing Rhythms of Bridges and Ends,” a chapter by Associate Professor of Music Theory and Embedded Music Theory Tutor Coordinator Rachel Short, Ph.D., was published this month by the University of Michigan Press in the book, “Here for the Hearing: Analyzing the Music in Musical Theater,” edited by Gregory J. Decker and Michael Buchler.
Additionally, Short’s open-access, peer-reviewed video article “Interactions Between Music and Dance in Two Musical Theatre Tap Breaks” with Society for Music Theory’s (SMT) Videocast Journal SMT-V volume 9.3 was also released earlier this month. SMT-V is a video journal of the Society for Music Theory and was founded in 2014 to publish essays that showcase research in music theory in a dynamic, audiovisual format, presented so as to have the potential to engage both specialists within the field as well as interested viewers outside the music theory community.
