Abstract
Provides a history of the interest groups of the Society for Music Theory, summarizing and illustrating the groups’ five main functions and describing the groups’ cumulative effect on the field of music theory and its modes of engagement. Demonstrates the broadening of the field by comparing the main topics of music-theoretic study at the SMT’s tenth anniversary (1987) with the topics of the interest groups at the SMT’s fortieth anniversary (2017). An expanded version of the poster of interest group history (Leong and Shanahan) exhibited at the fortieth-anniversary Annual Meeting features a timeline of interest group formation along with highlights from each group’s history.
