Interaction of college students with twentieth century music in a computer environment

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the educational status of music listeners is reflected in the content of their written discourse about a serial composition to which they listen in a non-directed situation. The problem was stated as follows: what difference in the content of written discourse will accrue when participants with four levels of educational status encounter an opportunity for listening to music that presents them with: access to a Compact Disk recording of a serial composition; a description of a hypothetical occasion structured to elicit their thinking about the composition; a computer on which to compose their discourse and through which unrestricted access is provided to the musical recording and the hypothetical occasion.
