ANNOUNCEMENTS
Justin London mentioned that the Society for Music

people to let him know they want to subscribe. He also mentioned that SMPC
will host a series of workshops instead of papers. ICMPC will meet in
Bologna in 2006.
TOPICS
MCG members are currently working on a wide variety of topics:
melody, auditory scene analysis, tonic perception vs. collection perception,
computational analysis, perception of motive, motion imagery, pitch
metaphors, history of theory and analysis via cognitive linguistics, gestalt
psychology, stream-segregation models, expressivity in performance,
expectation, levels of streaming, mathematics and rhythm, perception of
meter, speech intonation and rhythm, cognition of atonal sonorities,
gesture, embodied cognition and metaphor, musical forces, limits of rhythm
performance and perception, and chromaticism in tonal music.
SPECIAL SESSION IDEAS
Mavromatis, Elizabeth Kotzakidou Pace, and I agreed
to field proposals with the idea of possibly organizing a Special Session
proposal for 2005. Bob Gjerdingen will start us thinking about 2006.
DISCUSSION OF HURON'S ARTICLE
We discussed the following article, which
won the SMT's Outstanding Publication Award for 2002 --
>Huron, David (2001). Tone and Voice: A Derivation of the Rules of
>Voice-leading from Perceptual Principles. MUSIC PERCEPTION 19/1, 1-64.
The article may also be found on the web --

AGAIN?
The discussion Huron's article was a great success. I suggest that
we begin now to think about what article we might discuss at our next
meeting!
