More than 250 musical examples from different historical periods and non-Western cultures demonstrate the panstylistic scope of the author's model. Of particular importance to music theorists and music historians is the author's argument that melodic analysis and formal analysis, though often treated separately, are in fact indissolubly linked. This book will also appeal to ethnomusicologists, psychologists, and cognitive scientists.;

Abstract	This book extends the unique theories of musical perception presented in The Analysis and Cognition of Basic Melodic Structures. The two books together constitute the first comprehensive theory of melody founded on psychological research. The author's earlier study dealt with cognitive relations between melodic tones at their most basic level. After summarizing the formalized methodology of the theory described in that work, the author develops an elaborate and original symbology to show how sixteen archetypes can combine to form some 200 complex structures that, in turn, can chain together in a theoretically infinite number of ways. He then explains and speculates on the cognitive operations by which listeners assimilate and ultimately encode these complex melodic structures. More than 250 musical examples from different historical periods and non-Western cultures demonstrate the panstylistic scope of the author's model. Of particular importance to music theorists and music historians is the author's argument that melodic analysis and formal analysis, though often treated separately, are in fact indissolubly linked. This book will also appeal to ethnomusicologists, psychologists, and cognitive scientists.
