  Faculty Director of Digital Humanities and Associate Professor of Music a
 t the MIT\, is a musicologist who has worked extensively on music of the 1
 4  th  century\, computational musicology\, and digital humanities. Cuthbe
 rt’s research lab has produced “music21\,” an open-source toolkit fo
 r computer-aided musical analysis\, which has an installed user base in th
 e tens of thousands. He directs MIT’s programs in Digital Humanities\, w
 hich creates code to educate and solve problems across disciplines. Cuthbe
 rt’s current book project covers sacred music in Italy during the Black 
 Death and Great Schism.  Sponsorship: The Center for Digital Humanities an

 Time: 2:30-4:30pm  Location: Woolworth 106 (Department of Music)  Title o
 f Talk: Music Decoding: Forgetting Perfection\, Finding Results in Digital
  Musicology  Abstract: When musicologists make a decision to engage with
  the digital humanities\, they are often encouraged to join in “music en
 coding”. The process of creating digital scholarly editions (think Urtex
 t or M2) might feel like the twenty-first century continuation of the long
 \, distinguished\, and noble discipline of critical editing within musicol
 ogy. “Learn the Music Encoding Initiative—MEI— and join the future\,
 ” speak panel after panel at AMS and other musicology conferences. But w
 hat past Gesamtausgaben and other scholarly editions long possessed\, ME
 I scores lack: that is\, readers. Computational musicology’s emphasis on
  perfect digital editions that cannot be decoded or read by anyone outside
  of the projects themselves sets it far behind music analysis projects cre
 ated by outsiders—theorists\, composers\, scientists\, and programmers
 —who understand that decoding music is at least as important as encoding
  it. The paper uses results from imperfect encodings and un -critical edit
 ions to make claims about style and borrowing in popular and medieval musi
 c that are possible by prioritizing what we want to get out of digital hum
 anities over what we want to put in.  Sponsorship: The Center for Digital
