Hör’ ich das Liedchen klingen (Robert Schumann)
Computers have altered so many aspects of musician’s lives, from digital performance, to electronic composition, to how we acquire and share new music, but only recently have they had the potential to transform how we study and analyze music. Michael Scott Cuthbert (MIT) and Matthias Röder (Harvard) introduce the new world of Digital Musicology by showing the techniques and tools that allow scholars to “listen faster”: to examine and analyze large repertories of pieces in the time that a human musicologist could only look at and hear a single work. Through computational analysis, clustering techniques, visualization tools, and data-mining of musical works, the landscape of our understanding of music is being shaken and new ground created for the wired music scholar.

In February 2010 I had the great pleasure to introduce Kent Nagano and Jürgen Partenheimer to a large crowd at the German Conference at Harvard 2010. The two spoke about the relation of artist and state, a multi-faceted topic that proved to be a fitting closing for a conference on diverse matters such as renewable energy, peaceful revolutions and health care reform to name just a few. For those of you who had to miss the event, here is the conference report which includes a thoughtful essay by Jürgen Partenheimer and a synopsis of Kent Nagano’s remarks.
