SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:William Caplin: Carrigan Lecture Series in Music Theory
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Music Theory presents a lecture by guest scholar William Caplin\, Distinguished James McGill Professor of Music Theory at McGill University. This event is made possible with support from the Carrigan Lecture Series in Music Theory.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nThis talk examines various classification schemes for music theory and analysis\, especially ones that have played a central role in my own research activities. After a brief consideration of the ubiquity of *binary* oppositions in music-theoretical thought\, along with some limitations of this approach\, the remainder of the talk focuses on classifications consisting of *three* elements\, what I call (after Nattiez) *tripartitions*. I set the stage for my investigations by reviewing the three dialectically grounded tripartitions of *intervals*\, *harmonies*\, and *keys* as proposed by Mortiz Hauptmann in the mid nineteenth century. The heart of my talk then details three tripartitions in the domains of harmony\, form\, and general analytical methodologies. The first tripartition classifies harmonic progressions into three types: *prolongational*\, *sequential*\, and *cadential*. With the second tripartition\, I consider the temporal functions of *beginning*\, *middle*\, and *end*\, and examine how these temporalities are expressed by a variety of formal functions and formal types. The final tripartition\, inspired by some ideas of Leonard B. Meyer\, organizes various modes of music analysis into three general categories: *conformant*\, *statistical*\, and *syntactical*. To conclude\, I return to Hauptmann and consider the extent to which my three tripartitions correlate with his dialectical framework.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER\n\nWILLIAM CAPLIN completed undergraduate studies in music composition (BM\,1971) at the University of Southern California and graduate studies in the history and theory of music (MA\, 1975\; PhD\, 1981) at the University of Chicago. He began his academic career in the Faculty of Music at McGill University in 1978. He was appointed Distinguished James McGill Professor of Music Theory in 2019 following fourteen years as a James McGill Professor.\n\nCaplin specializes in the theories of musical form and musical cadence. His extensive investigations into formal procedures of late-eighteenth-century music culminated in the 1998 book *Classical Form: A Theory of Formal Functions for the Instrumental Music of Haydn\, Mozart\, and Beethoven* (Oxford University Press)\, which won the 1999 Wallace Berry Book Award from the Society for Music Theory. He has refined and extended his theoretical approach in his recent book *Cadence: A Study of Closure in Tonal Music* (OUP\, 2024). Caplin has also undertaken research in the history of music theory. His most notable study in this area\, “Theories of Musical Rhythm in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries\,” appears in *The Cambridge History of Western Music Theory*. His current academic project is a complete harmonic\, cadential and formal analysis of Beethoven’s thirty-two piano sonatas.\n\nCaplin’s research work has been honoured by two Festschrift publications: *Formal Functions in Perspective: Essays on Musical Form from Haydn to Adorno* (Eastman Studies in Music\, 2015)\; and “Contemplating Caplin\,” a Festschrift issue of *Intersections: Canadian Journal of Music* 31/1\, 2010. In 2015\, he was elected a Fellow in the Royal Society of Canada (Academy of Arts and Humanities). Following his retirement in 2022\, he was awarded the 2023 McGill University Medal for Exceptional Academic Achievement. Most recently\, he received the 2025 Pascall Medal from the Society for Music Analysis (UK).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIA Lecture | Ariadne’s Thread: Weaving 200\,000 Years of Naxos’ History
DESCRIPTION:This lecture asks\, (1) what makes us (*Homo sapiens*) special? And (2) why did Theseus and Ariadne go to Naxos? These radically different questions are answered through the archaeology of Stelida\, a site on the northwest coast of Naxos (Cycladic islands\, Greece)\, whose deep-time history takes us from Neanderthal toolmakers\, via Bronze Age worshippers\, to the Canadian/Greek project that has been investigating the site since 2013. From the earliest seafarers of the Northern Hemisphere to Ariadne’s hill\, follow this remarkable thread with the project’s director.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public\, sponsored by the Ann Arbor Society of the Archaeological Institute of America. Please join us in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall to hear from Dr. Tristan Carter\, professor of anthropology at McMaster University and director of the Stelida Naxos Archaeological Project. Light refreshments will be served at 5:30 PM\, followed by the lecture at 6:00 PM.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
