DESCRIPTION:Prof. Daniel Shanahan\nAbstract\nMusical corpora have been use
 d to examine the changing aspects of compositional style (e.g. Albrecht an
 d Huron\, 2013\; Broze and Shanahan\, 2013)\, as well as mutable aspects o
 f the "situated cognition" of an audience (Byros\, 2009). Recent work (Sha
 nahan and Albrecht\, 2019) has employed a combination of corpus and behavi
 oral research to explore the nature of physical and cognitive constraints 
 on transmission\, and I will follow up on this work here\, discussing a th
 eory of musical change through both corpus and behavioral approaches. Addi
 tionally\, I will discuss how we might employ symbolic corpora to inform f
 uture theories of musical change\, even when such corpora are lacking in d
 ata or are of unknown origin.\n\nBio\nDaniel Shanahan is assistant profess
 or of music theory and cognition at The Ohio State University. His work ha
 s been published in Music Perception\, The Journal of New Music Research
 \, The Journal of Jazz Studies\, The Journal of the Acoustical Society o
