Perspectives of New Music
Template:Infobox journal Perspectives of New Music (PNM) is a peer-reviewed academic journal specializing in music theory and analysis. It was established in 1962 by Arthur Berger and Benjamin Boretz (who were its initial editors-in-chief).
Perspectives was first published by the Princeton University Press, initially supported by the Fromm Music Foundation.<ref name="Berry">David Carson Berry, "Journal of Music Theory under Allen Forte's Editorship," Journal of Music Theory 50/1 (2006), 21, n49.</ref> The first issue was favorably reviewed in the Journal of Music Theory, which observed that Berger and Boretz had produced "a first issue which sustains such a high quality of interest and cogency among its articles that one suspects the long delay preceding the yet-unborn Spring 1963 issue may reflect a scarcity of material up to their standard".<ref>Richmond Browne, "Perspectives of New Music: Arthur Berger, Editor, Benjamin Boretz, Associate Editor, Princeton University Press, Princeton, N. J., 1962. 196p." Journal of Music Theory 7/2 (Winter 1963), 262–65; citation on 263.</ref> <templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

Boretz edited the journal from 1962 through 1983, with co-editors Berger (1962–1964), Edward T. Cone (1968–1972), and Elaine Barkin (1972–1983). John Rahn was editor from 1983 until 1993, and Boretz again in 1994/95. From 1995 until 2000, there was a group of five editors: Joseph Dubiel, Marion Guck, Marianne Kielian-Gilbert, Andrew Mead, and Stephen Peles. Musicologist Jerome Kohl was the journal's managing editor from 1985 to 1999.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> The current editors are Boretz, Robert Morris, and Rahn.
