[Smt-talk] Degree terminology (was Re: Princeton and Theory)

[Charles Smith]

For what it's worth SMT honoured Marc Perlman with the 2005 Wallace Berry Award for his book Unplayed Melodies. 

> One major disadvantage of a insistence on these rigid divisions is that exciting work may well get overlooked by scholars working on similar problems but under different job titles.  For example, recent works by Marc Perlman and Michael Tenzer — on central Javanese tonal theory and Balinese composition and orchestration, respectively — appear to have become stuck in the ethnomusicology niche and have yet to receive substantial attention from theorists although their content is substantially theoretical with implications for music and music scholarship far beyond the particular music cultures of those two islands.


Best,
Charles
