Early March brings two noted music scholars to the University of North Texas campus for speaking engagements.
Anne Robertson: medieval music maven
On March 3, Claire Dux Swift Distinguished Service Professor of Music Anne W. Robertson will journey south from her chilly post at the University of Chicago to talk about "The Seven Deadly Sins in Medieval Music." Her free lecture will occur at 4 p.m. in the Music Building (SE corner of Avenue C and Chestnut), Room 321.
Robertson is a specialist (of international renown) in French medieval music and its connection to mysticism and religious symbolism, having written such books on the subject as Guillaume de Machaut and Reims: Context and Meaning in his Musical Works and The Service Books of the Royal Abbey of St. Denis: Images of Ritual Music in the Middle Ages.
Following up on March 12 (which falls in the middle of his one-week UNT residency), Beethoven scholar William Kinderman - professor of musicology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign - will speak on the topic of "Schumann, Beethoven and the Distant Beloved," also at 4 p.m., but this time in the concert hall at the Music Building. This lecture is also free and open to the public.
Kinderman has specialized in 18th- to early 20th-century music and has written approximately 50 articles and chapters for various scholarly publications. On March 13 at 4 p.m. in the recital hall (Music Building), Kinderman will deliver a lecture recital on Beethoven's "Diabelli" Variations.
