Bio/Research
I am a historical musicologist who, for most of his active career, specialized in music of the period 1420-1520. In recent years I have expanded the sphere of my research interests to include Ars Antiqua polyphony, roughly from the period 1160-1320. Although both periods fall under the broad category of “the Middle Ages,” you could scarcely find two more different musical cultures in European history. The two periods present very different challenges for the scholar and musician, differences that force us to ask tough questions as to what we understand music to be, what we expect it to accomplish, and how it affects us as performers and listeners.
