David Huron began his career by encoding several corpora that have continued to be discussed in the decades since, including the Barlow and Morgenstern Dictionary of Musical Themes, the JS Bach Chorale Repertory, and the reformatting of Helmut Schaffrath’s Essen Folk Song Collection. He also promoted his idea of building a "long menu" — a compilation of potential research questions generated when you “make time to think.” Our session will be divided into three parts: (1) a short overview of David’s contributions to—and philosophy toward—digital music corpus building (10 minutes), (2) an interactive workshop dedicated to navigating these corpora (60 minutes), and (3) rapid-fire “long menu” presentations (20 minutes). Daniel Shanahan (Northwestern University) will provide the overview of David Huron's encoding practices. Long-menu presenters include Drake Eshlemen (Indiana University), Jeremy Day-O'Connell (Skidmore College), and Claire Arthur (Georgia Tech University).
