Benjamin Dobbs’s research interests include the music and music theory of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Germany, the analysis of music from the late Middle Ages to the early Baroque, and the impact of the Thirty Years’ War on European musical cultures. Benjamin’s dissertation provides Latin editions and English translations of Heinrich Baryphonus and Heinrich Grimm’s music theory treatise, Pleiades musicae (1615/1630), and situates the treatise within historical, educational, philosophical, and music-theoretical contexts. He has presented research at music theory, musicology, and interdisciplinary conferences throughout the United States, Germany, and Austria, including the Society for Music Theory (2015), the Renaissance Society of America (2015), and the International Conference on Baroque Music (2014). Benjamin has received research funding from the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst, the American Friends of the Herzog August Bibliothek, the Toulouse Graduate School (UNT), and the Division of Music History, Theory, and Ethnomusicology (UNT).
