Analyses of Cycles

A core research output of our project is to transcribe and analyse musical cycles from all over so that we can see the variety of cyclic structures that humans have developed, as well as looked for shared strategies across geo-cultural locales (see our map of cyclic music).  The first page here discusses the ethics of undertaking such work, then you can navigate to our analyses of cyclic musics, as well as some annotated transcriptions, all of which highlight the cyclic nature of the musics discussed and the strategies employed in their musical constructions.
