An interesting problem. Several monographs from the 90s and 00s have been influential, especially:<br>- Barry, Barbara R. 1990. Musical Time. The Sense of Order. Stuyvesant, New York: Pendragon Press.<br>1985. <br>- 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).<br>- London, Justin. 2004. Hearing in Time: Psychological Aspects of Musical Meter. Oxford: Oxford University Press.<br>- Hasty, Christopher Francis. 1997. Meter as rhythm. New York: Oxford University Press.<br><br>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.<br><br>Other thoughts,comrades?<br><br>Michael Morse<br>Trent University<br>Peterborough, ON<br><br>> <br>> does something like a (contemporary) standard work about time, measure <br>> and rhythm exist in english?<br>> <br>> thanks for help, johannes quint<br>> <br><br> </body>
