Research Interests
Improvisation and harmonic systems with regard to theoretical positions and practice. He is also keenly interested in curriculum development. He has renewed his interest in transcription of early renaissance religious music working with MSS from the Vatican Library in particular. A major research project has been completed: An Editorial Translation of the Vatican Manuscript, Capella Sistina 51... Liber Missaran, vols I-VI. A similar sized project is now underway with focus on mss held in 'sHertogenbosch. He and Dr Jason Stoessel are the architects of The Caron Web Site which is devoted to the works of the 15th century composer Caron. Of particular note is the inclusion of sound files.
