[Smt-talk] books about time, meter and rhythm

[MICHAEL MORSE]

An interesting problem. Several monographs from the 90s and 00s have been influential, especially:
- Barry, Barbara R. 1990. Musical Time. The Sense of Order. Stuyvesant, New York: Pendragon Press.
1985. 
- Kramer, Jonathan D. 1988. The Time of Music: New Meanings, New Temporalities, New Listening Strategies. New York/London: Schirmer Books/Collier MacMillan. (see also his article "Studies of Time and Music: A Bibliography." Music Theory Spectrum 
7:72-106 1985).
- London, Justin. 2004. Hearing in Time: Psychological Aspects of Musical Meter. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
- Hasty, Christopher Francis. 1997. Meter as rhythm. New York: Oxford University Press.

The last-named is perhaps the most widely discussed (and perhaps most widely respected, even). But I don't think anything rises to the level of "standard work" on the problem.

Other thoughts,comrades?
