This book introduces path-breaking applications of concepts from mathematical topology to music-theory topics including harmony, chord progressions, rhythm, and music classification. Contributions address topics of voice leading, Tonnetze (maps of notes and chords), and automatic music classification.Focusing on some geometrical and topological aspects of the representation and formalisation of musical structures and processes, the book covers topological features of voice-leading geometries in the most recent advances in this mathematical approach to representing how chords are connected through the motion of voices, leading to analytically useful simplified models of high-dimensional spaces; It generalizes the idea of a Tonnetz, a geometrical map of tones or chords, and shows how topological aspects of these maps can correspond to many concepts from music theory. The resulting framework embeds the chord maps of neo-Riemannian theory in continuous spaces that relate chords of different sizes and includes extensions of this approach to rhythm theory. It further introduces an application of topology to automatic music classification, drawing upon both static topological representations and time-series evolution, showing how static and dynamic features of music interact as features of musical style. This volume will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of music, music analyses, music composition, mathematical music theory, computational musicology, and music informatics. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Mathematics and Music.

Introduction to the Mathematics of Music is aimed at helping bridge the substantial gap between a classical musician culture and the universe of mathematical notions in music. It explains the necessary notions, starting from scratch, with rigour but without any unnecessary formalism. It was developed from a course given in Perpignan, France, for a bachelor in Music theory.After a mandatory outline of the seminal role of numbers in music, based on the equations of consonance, the book introduces the essential formalisation of pitch-classes and pc-sets as elements and subsets of the integers modulo 12.Transpositions and inversions, traditional musical operations, are formalized in that context. Symmetries and structures are studied efficiently with these tools — for instance linking Olivier Messiaen’s forgotten Modes of Limited Transposition with subgroups of the dihedral group D12.The book ends with a sampling of the geometrical models of musical spaces that mark the modern era in the discipline.A wealth of exercises (and indications of solutions) is provided, since the notions exposed are better assimilated with paper and pencil.This text is primarily intended for serious music students who intend to develop the ability to understand the current research in mathematical music. Some prior knowledge of music theory (non mathematical) is an asset. It is hoped that the style of presentation, together with the numerous exercises, might also be a source of pedagogical inspiration for teachers and students even in so called `pure’ mathematics.

This book explains the state of the art in the use of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of musical structures such as rhythms or scales. In particular the author explains the DFT of pitch-class distributions, homometry and the phase retrieval problem, nil Fourier coefficients and tilings, saliency, extrapolation to the continuous Fourier transform and continuous spaces, and the meaning of the phases of Fourier coefficients. This is the first textbook dedicated to this subject, and with supporting examples and exercises this is suitable for researchers and advanced undergraduate and graduate students of music, computer science and engineering. The author has made online supplementary material available, and the book is also suitable for practitioners who want to learn about techniques for understanding musical notions and who want to gain musical insights into mathematical problems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Mathematics and Computation in Music, MCM 2011, held in Paris, France, in June 2011. The 24 revised full papers presented and the 12 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions. The MCM conference is the flagship conference of the Society for Mathematics and Computation in Music. This year’s conference aimed to provide a multi-disciplinary platform dedicated to the communication and exchange of ideas amongst researchers involved in mathematics, computer science, music theory, composition, musicology, or other related disciplines. Areas covered were formalization and geometrical representation of musical structures and processes; mathematical models for music improvisation and gestures theory; set-theoretical and transformational approaches; computational analysis and cognitive musicology as well as more general discussions on history, philosophy and epistemology of music and mathematics.
