Oof! I do love long titles for presentations! 😂

"When Heterophony Becomes Polyphony: Two Ways of Looking at Multipart Music on a Continuum and how that Influences Composition and Performance Practice."

But I'm really looking forward to this as I'll be framing it from the standpoint of creating inclusive pedagogies by highlighting Heterophony/Polyphony as types of musical practices embodied as variations across cultures. Similar to what I describe here:

One ultimate goal of which is to get away from essentializing musical practices while also acknowledging how they are modeled in different ways because of different knowledge systems.

It’ll also give me a chance to talk about diverse composition traditions since what Western #MusicTheory refers to as heterophony and polyphony aren’t framed in the same way or is embodied in performance practice.

I also hope to have a more fleshed out way of talking about what I’m calling “distributed composition.”

And until I recently look at the list of project investigators I didn't know that both Sandeep Bhagwati and Nathalie Fernando (both of whom I mention a lot in threads here on Twitter) were both part of this. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, eh? 🙂

Thread on global polyphonic traditions that really got me thinking about these things.
