Music Theory Examples in Video Game Music
Full text linkA Note from the Curator: This is a living document that will expand and change over time. These examples are meant to be a supplement in the music theory classroom. The first update will include links to arrangements or midi files, as well as more form analyses. Future updates will include more concepts, varying arrangements, and a Google Drive with representative .musx files for educational purposes. I will also provide a spreadsheet at some point with this information.
Any help is appreciated. If you would like, I will post the results of your analyses to this document and credit you as an analytical contributor. Also, please feel free to share this with your colleagues and students. Please, know that video game music, like popular music and jazz, does not have to follow ‘traditional’ theoretical functions. This is especially true when it comes to form.
Each composer is linked to a wiki the first time they are mentioned. Transcribers (trans.) and arrangers (arr.) are credited for each example. The song title link leads to a YouTube video of the cue. The transcriber link leads to the respective lead sheet at VGLeadSheets.com. Please, let me know if any links are broken. If you are a composer, transcriber, arranger, or performer of any cues on this list, please send me links to your home page, arrangements, or performances and I will add them to this list.Analytical Contributors: Brent Ferguson, T.J. Laws-Nicola, and Alan Elkins. This document is inspired by the work of 8-bit Music Theory, VGLeadSheets.com, Disney Music
Theory, Alan Elkins’s North American Conference for Video Game Music presentation and
Justin Binek’s theory resources for popular music and jazz.
Analyses are mostly based on transcriptions and arrangements in VGLeadSheets.com - Lead
Sheets for Video Game Music. Other sources include the Asako Niwa piano arrangement books
of the Chrono Trigger (1995) and Final Fantasy Tactics (1997) soundtracks by DOREMI Music

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
