This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Mathematics and Computation in Music, MCM 2009, held in New Haven, CT, USA, in June 2009. The 26 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. The MCM conference is the flagship conference of the Society for Mathematics and Computation in Music. The papers deal with topics within applied mathematics, computational models, mathematical modelling and various further aspects of the theory of music. This year’s conference is dedicated to the honor of John Clough whose research modeled the virtues of collaborative work across the disciplinesThese proceedings comprise 26 refereed research papers that were presented at theSecondInternationalConferenceonMathematicsandComputationinMusic (MCM 2009), which met in conjunction with the John Clough Memorial C- ference during June 19-22, 2009, at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. The International Conference on Mathematics and Computation in Music (MCM) is the ?agship conference of the Society for Mathematics and Com- tation in Music. The inaugural conference of the society took place in 2007 in Berlin.Thestudyofmathematicsandmusicdatesbacktothetimeoftheancient Greeks.The riseof computing andthe digitalagehas addedcomputationto this august tradition. MCM aims to provide a dedicated platform for the commu- cation and exchange of ideas amongst researchers in mathematics, informatics, music theory, composition, musicology, and related disciplines.

The quadrennial conferences that Clough ?rst organized at Bu?alo in 1993 positioned neo-Riemannian theory on the map of musical scholarship.
