We model voice leading using tools from algebraic topology, principally the fundamental group, the orbifold fundamental group, and related groupoids. Doing so is a natural extension of modeling voice leading by continuous paths in chord spaces. The resulting algebraic precision in the representation of voice leadings and their concatenations allows for new distinctions between voice crossing cases, and enhanced connections with other approaches to voice leading.
