Born in Duderstadt, 6 Jan 1930. Deceased in Louisville, December 2015.<\/p>\n
German musicologist, active in the USA. After studying with Gerber at the University of G\u00f6ttingen, he took the doctorate at Freiburg University with Gurlitt in 1954 with a dissertation on the music treatises of Conrad von Zabern. He remained at Freiburg as a research assistant until he was invited in 1969 to become an associate professor of music history at the University of Louisville, where he was made full professor in 1974; he was also an adjunct professor at the University of Kentucky. He became an American citizen in 1979 and retired in 1998. <\/p>\n
A major focus of his work has been the sources and traditions of medieval Latin theory, particularly in Iberia, culminating in his annotated catalogue of manuscripts in Portugal and Spain from the Carolingian era up to 1500 (1997). In this field he has published analyses of the major sources including the Ripoll 42 and the Enchiridion of Guillermo de Podio. In recognition of his research he was elected a member of the Societat Catalana de Musicologia (1979), the Reial Acad\u00e8mia Catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi (1984) and the Societat Catalana d\u2019Estudis Lit\u00fargics (1992). His work extends to other subjects in European medieval history, particularly in German history and he has contributed many articles on medieval and Renaissance music, music theory, sources and church history to music dictionaries published in German and Spanish. <\/p>\n
