Areas of Teaching
Dr Stoessel lectures in undergraduate music history, with an emphasis on cultural criticism and aesthetics, and Western music theory from the middle ages to the present. He has developed and teaches several units in music studies at UNE. These include Concepts and Approaches in the Cultural Study of Music, Early European Music and the 19th Century Music Aesthetics and Analysis. Throughout his teaching, Dr Stoessel encourages critical thinking about music and music history. Another emphasis of his teaching is the acquisition of life-long learning and communication skills that serve graduates in their future careers in music and music-related vocations. Dr Stoessel also coordinates the Medieval and Renaissance Workshop and the UNE String Ensemble: both ensembles teach the central role of musical performance in acquiring knowledge about music, and provide the opportunity to learn about diverse musical repertories.
Research interests
Dr Stoessel’s primary research focuses upon West European polyphonic song and its cultural context during the period 1380-1415. His publications have included articles on the notational process of Jacob de Senleches and scribal process in Codex Chantilly. Currently he is embarking on a new study of the musical culture of the late medieval Veneto. His secondary research areas include music theory from ninth to fifteenth centuries, polyphonic song in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the polyphonic Mass in the fifteenth century and applications of computers to symbolic musical analysis.
