currentmusicology-5285	Gleason, Scott	Improvising Compose Yourself	2013	12	.pdf	application/pdf	1861	80	60	A highly experimental document, Compose Yourself includes a kind of poem Current Musicology 248 of coming–into–being; a phenomenological yet didactic reading of a scene from Götterdämmerung; a study of computer generation of phonemes across world languages; a kind of extended memory of a train ride; a discussion of multiple theoretical contexts for a baseball game; and a trippy script for a television show probing the boundaries of music composition’s role in the potential revolution. The notion of there being such a thing as “Princeton Theory,” as distinct from other forms of music theory, has been with us for many decades, for Kerman (1963: 152–4) defined and problematized a “Princeton School”; Blasius (1997, 2) reports Godfrey Winham’s (1934–1975) unfortunately undated response to “a prospective ‘Princeton issue’ of the Journal of Music Theory”; and Kerman’s (1985, 60–112) critique can be read largely as a response to the composer/ theorists working at Princeton—Kerman’s own alma mater.	cache/currentmusicology-5285.pdf	txt/currentmusicology-5285.txt
