Concurrent instrumental grouping phenomena as explained through the established body of empirical research into the perception of orchestration can be at times challenging to map onto the diverse musical experiences heard across contemporary Western art music. McAdams, Goodchild, and Soden (2022) presented aÌý. I present a revision and expansion of this taxonomy that I found useful when considering recurring approaches to instrumental grouping I observed in contemporary music. The taxonomic expansion I am suggesting is based on interviews with, and analysis of the music of, current composers and performers, including faculty and staff at several academic institutions and at international new music workshops. The goal of this expansion is to promote the application of theories across different musical practices, identify gaps in knowledge, and reveal opportunities for further empirical research.
