HarMAnalysis

The HarMAnalysis Repository is a unique online collection of analytical case studies (ACS) on specific musical works or subjects related to compositional techniques or musical style elements. The papers are intended for sharing with music analysis professors in their teaching practice, for use by their students, and for contributing to research in the music theory field. A double-blind peer-review procedure ensures critical evaluation, objectivity, and the highest level of each analytical case study published in the HarMAnalysis Repository.

To integrate ACS into the authors’ scholarly output, digital identifiers are applied to the HarMAnalysis Repository (e-ISSN), author (ORCID, if available), and each article (DOI). The collection of ACS is published in open access on the HarMA HUB platform.

The editors particularly encourage the submissions of multimedia-oriented forms of analytical studies: original texts (in English) can include models, diagrams and charts (graphics), dynamic sonograms (computer-assisted analysis), examples from scores (source materials), and musical examples (audio files or/and links to audio or audio-video recordings). The repository presents various research perspectives, methodological preferences and traditions of practicing music theory in Higher Music Education Institutions.

The users of HarMAnalysis Repository – students, teachers and researchers – can find the analyses of their interest by searching according to various criteria (musical work title, method of analysis, etc.).

If you are interested in publishing your analytical study, please read the guidelines for authors, which are available below as a template (via the “Download the instructions” button). We accept texts prepared according to the instructions and sent to the following email address: analysis.harmahub@amuz.gda.pl (it can be done via the “Submit a case study” button).

The call for papers is continuously open to all music analysts: music theorists or musicologists, teachers or non-teachers, but also music theory graduates.
