“What Happened to Music History?”
Detailed Information
In its 20th-anniversary year, the Institute for the Humanities has organized a series of talks that look back at the intellectual trajectory of various disciplines and at the analytic lenses employed by scholars over the past two decades. Professor of Musicology Louise K. Stein has undertaken to take stock of trends, changes, and the current status of the field of Music History.
She has twice been a Faculty Fellow in the Institute for the Humanities.An authority on European, Spanish, and colonial Latin American music of the late Renaissance and baroque eras, Louise K. Stein has received fellowships from Fulbright-Hayes, the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Committee for Cultural Cooperation between the United States and Spain. Her performing edition of the first opera performed in the Americas, La púrpura de la rosa (Lima, 1701), by Tomás de Torrejón y Velasco and Juan Hidalgo, was published in Madrid in 1999 and used for the BMG Classics recording directed by Andrew Lawrence-King, for which she also served as artistic advisor and dramaturg. In 1996 the American Musicological Society recognized her with the Noah Greenberg Award for "distinguished contribution to the study and performance of early music."
