(Tournai, Belgium) in 1938. The "context-free grammar" for Dorian antiphons may be found in Volume I of this treatise. I cannot give you page references, since I no longer have a Music Library readily available. However, I found it by trying to track down what he had to say about centonization. Mozart's "Dice Composer" was packaged (complete with dice) by Guild Publications of Art and Music in 1941. I'm pretty sure it's still available under that name. I assume that Leonard Meyer's EMOTION AND MEANING IN MUSIC is still in print by The University of Chicago Press. The same should be true for his EXPLAINING MUSIC, which is published by the University of California Press. I recently purchased John Sloboda's THE MUSICAL MIND: THE COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY OF MUSIC from Clarendon Press. It is Number 5 in their Oxford Psychology Series. My uncited reference to Eugene Narmour was to his book BEYOND SCHENKERISM, published by The University of Chicago Press in 1977. The Lerdahl-Jackendoff reference is A GENERATIVE THEORY OF TONAL MUSIC, by Fred Lerdahl and Ray Jackendoff, published by The MIT Press. The Maury Yeston reference was to his doctoral dissertation, published as the book THE STRATIFICATION OF MUSICAL RHYTHM, by Yale University Press. Finally, David Lewin's "Music Theory, Phenomenology, and Modes of Perception" was published in the journal MUSIC PERCEPTION, Volume 3, Number 4 (Summer 1986), on pages 327-392. ========================================================================= USPS: Stephen Smoliar USC Information Sciences Institute 4676 Admiralty Way Suite 1001 Marina del Rey, California 90292-6695 Internet: smoliar@vaxa.isi.edu "Only a schoolteacher innocent of how literature is made could have written such a line."--Gore Vidal
