The priorities of the musicology area reflect its place within a large, comprehensive school of music. Comprising six full-time and three part-time members, the music history faculty is actively engaged in musicological research notable for its breadth (both chronological and geographic) as well as its vitality and rigor.
The area’s emphasis on scholarship and publication facilitates active engagement in broader conversations within the discipline, an engagement that enhances its profile beyond UNT while enriching its service to the university. The interface between research, performance, and teaching finds an immediate expression in the graduate programs supported by the area. This interface remains evident through an array of courses in music history aimed at undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students from throughout the College of Music and across campus. These courses are diverse in their approaches and perspectives yet share a common focus on music as a set of social practices. They encourage critically informed composing, performing, and hearing by presenting music as the product of all three culturally situated activities.
