The Roles of Invariance and Analogy in the Linear Design of Stravinsky’s “Musick to heare”

Abstract

This essay traces its origins to a series of papers presented in constantly evolving forms in 1995, under two different titles: “First in a Series: Nested Structures and Invariant Design in Stravinsky’s ‘Musick to heare’” and “Invariance and Analogy as Compositional Determinants in Stravinsky’s Early Serial Music” (the former presented in February at the South-Central Society for Music Theory [Baton Rouge, Louisiana], in March at Music Theory Southeast [Salisbury, North Carolina], and in April at the Rocky Mountain Society for Music Theory [Provo, Utah]; and the latter presented in October at the New Music and Art Festival of the MidAmerican Center for Contemporary Music [Bowling Green, Ohio]). In its current form, the essay is dedicated to John Covach, who was both helpful with and encouraging of those earlier efforts.
