Current ProjectsShe brings to her research and teaching an approach that combines contextual studies, critical analysis, and source work in an attempt to gain a holistic view of the musical work and the culture that produced it. With the publication of the third and last volume of Antonio Gardano in 2005 she has turned to writing several articles for anthologies to appear in 2007-2008, and is preparing a study of the Venetian sixteenth-century manuscript Wolfenbüttel 293 and its music. |
