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 disciplines.
