J.T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts Dean J.T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts Dean Search 2021 Texas Tech University (http://www.ttu.edu/) invites applications and nominations for the position of Dean of the J.T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts. The University seeks an accomplished leader who can provide vision, leadership, and direction to the College while supporting the academic mission of the institution. The Dean should be an active listener who is committed to shared governance, serve as the chief spokesperson and advocate for the College both within and outside of the University, and ensure the College serves as a vital resource and component of Texas Tech and the community. The Dean will provide forward‐looking and creative leadership, while working with the faculty, staff, and students to develop a shared vision and achieve common goals for the College. The Dean should share the College’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Texas Tech University Established in 1923, the University is a Carnegie R1 (very high research activity) Doctoral/Research‐Extensive, Hispanic Serving, and state‐assisted institution with an enrollment of more than 40,000 students. Texas Tech University and its sister institution, the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, are located on 1,850 acres in Lubbock, a city in West Texas with a metropolitan‐area population of over 300,000. As the primary research institution in the western two‐thirds of the state, Texas Tech University is home to 10 colleges, the Schools of Law and Veterinary Medicine, and the Graduate School. Referred to as the “Hub City” because it serves as the educational, cultural, economic, and health care hub of the region known as the South Plains, Lubbock boasts a diverse population and a strong connection to community, history, and land. Lubbock is proud of its diversity and strives to create a more inclusive atmosphere to embrace its increasingly multicultural and international community. The University’s strategic plan, A Foundation for the Next Century – A Pathway to 2025, charts a course for Texas Tech to continue to expand its national and international prominence, focusing on three strategic priorities: 1) Educate and empower a diverse student body; 2) Enable innovative research and creative activities; and 3) Transform lives and communities through strategic outreach and engaged scholarship. The J.T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts is a major contributor to all three of the university’s strategic priorities. More details on the strategic plan are available at: https://www.ttu.edu/stratplan/. The J.T. and Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts Capitalizing on the interdisciplinary roots of the arts, the J. T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts (TCVPA) emphasizes synthesis both within the arts and between the arts and society. Its three schools—Art, Music, and Theatre & Dance—foster excellence in performance and scholarship through their wide array of academic programs, performance and studio courses, service‐learning opportunities, and internships. The TCVPA is proud to be the only arts college at a public university in Texas to hold national accreditation in all four programs—Art & Design, Music, Theatre, and Dance. The TCVPA seeks to prepare its over one thousand students—more 700 undergraduate and 300 graduate—to be professional and artistic leaders through the highest standards in performance, teaching, research, and artistic and creative training. Approximately 135 tenured or tenure‐track faculty, alongside a similar number of graduate students and part‐time faculty—serve the college. Students select from one of 15 undergraduate or 24 graduate programs encompassing baccalaureate, advanced certificate, master’s, and doctoral degrees. The College also offers two unique degree programs focused on interdisciplinarity. The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Fine Arts program is rooted in multiple interdisciplinary arts core courses, as well as graduate seminars in art, music, and theatre. Students emerge from this program with a knowledge base in multidisciplinary courses across the arts and philosophy, as well as a specialization in a specific area of visual or performing arts. In addition, the Bachelor of Arts – Interdisciplinary Arts Studies offers students an opportunity to combine a core of interdisciplinary arts courses with the study of three fields in equivalent depth. Collaborations between faculty members and students produce an ambitious annual performance and exhibition schedule that is rich in its diversity and innovation. The TCVPA’s research and creative activities are the primary means through which the arts reach deep into the population of the surrounding region. Faculty and student work are also showcased to national and global audiences. The J. T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts College is a primary contributor to the cultural enrichment and appreciation of the arts on campus. The TCVPA believes the arts are agents for cultural change. Through the breadth of its expressive possibilities and creators, the TCVPA prioritizes a commitment to diversity and inclusion, serving as a touchpoint for Texas Tech University and the community in striving for the widest possible range of voices seeking to be heard. Vision Statement The J.T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual and Performing Arts will be a distinguished global leader in interdisciplinary, creative, and scholarly arts education and research. We will champion the arts as relevant, critical, and essential to contemporary life. We will inspire our students to communicate through artistic tradition while embracing and creating innovative technologies as vehicles for individual expression and social change. The College will pursue University, regional, national, and international partnerships that complement our programs and provide unique and contemporary opportunities for our students and faculty. Arts performance research will inform our teaching, scholarship and creative activity. We take pride in the accomplishments of our faculty, students and alumni. Mission Statement The mission of the Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts is to inspire and educate students by instilling the intellectual, artistic, and communication skills that prepare for success in disciplinary achievement and in interdisciplinary collaboration, whether as performers, creators, investigators, or educators in visual arts, dance, music, or theatre. We prioritize students: world‐class professionals offer programs that emphasize practice, theory, and experience in creating and studying imaginative work in traditional and contemporary formats. We provide all essential training for an outstanding education in art, dance, music, and theatre disciplines in integrative programs such as arts administration, and in interdisciplinary programs, whether within the Fine Arts, at the intersection of arts and medicine, or in new entrepreneurial areas emerging in the arts. We impart a distinctive education that bridges the gap between university and workplace. The School of Art The School of Art offers the BA with concentrations in Art History or Studio Art; the BFA with specializations in Graphic Design, Studio Art, and Art Education; a Graduate Certificate in Art History, Criticism, and Theory (GCAHCT); the MA in Art History; the Master of Art Education; and the MFA in Studio Art (in the areas of Ceramics, Jewelry Design & Metalsmithing, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, and Sculpture). It also participates in the interdisciplinary Fine Arts Doctoral Program, which is administered through the College. The School’s 35 full‐time faculty members are nationally and internationally recognized artists and scholars who engage students in thoughtful discourse within the classrooms and studios. Currently, there are 265 undergraduates and 74 graduate students ‐‐ 10 of whom are doctoral candidates ‐‐ enrolled in School of Art programs. The School of Art's Studio faculty members are productive and successful artists who have contributed to the permanent collections of the Getty Museum, the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the National Museum of American Art and the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., Victoria and Albert Museum, The Art Institute of Chicago, and various other national and international museums. The disciplines of Jewelry Design & Metalsmithing, Ceramics, and Sculpture are housed in a 3‐D Art Annex. The 3‐D Art Annex is one of the finest equipped and safest facilities in the nation. The Art History faculty members have distinguished records of publication and curatorial experience in a range of fields including Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern European art, Latin American and Latinx art, and the Contemporary art world. Collectively, they have held numerous research fellowships that have enabled them to contribute to international dialogues surrounding visual art at prestigious institutions such as the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, the National Gallery of Art, and the British School at Rome. They have curated exhibitions at the Royal Ontario Museum, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Museum of Bellas Artes, Argentina, and the National Gallery in Washington (among others) and have conducted field research in Italy, France, Mexico, and other regions. Art History students and faculty participate in an Animation Studies undergraduate certificate

Chief Marketing & Communications Officer: Matt Dewey Guidelines for Writers June 24, 2021 The student body at Texas Tech University is as diverse as it has ever been, with the university recently reaching the enrollment requirement of Hispanic Serving Institution designation thanks to a Hispanic population that totals more than 25 percent of the overall student body. Just as diverse as the student body is every other aspect of Texas Tech, from the colleges and departments of study to the buildings, student organizations and intricate details encompassing every square inch of the campus that makes it such a unique and rewarding place to study and work. As content producers, we are tasked with telling the story of Texas Tech and its people – the faculty, staff, students, research endeavors, community engagement and so on. Doing so requires a great attention to detail, a task that can be daunting given all the various aspects of the university we encounter each day. In order to tell that story in as clear and concise a manner as possible, a clear set of writing style and grammatical guidelines is necessary. The Associated Press Stylebook is an excellent starting point and should be used in most instances, but it does not get into the intricate details of life on the Texas Tech campus. Therefore, it became necessary to develop an enhanced stylebook specifically detailed for Texas Tech.

  • Christopher J. Smith Is Professor and Chair of Musicology and Director of the Vernacular Music Center at the Texas Tech University School of Music
    GUEST SPEAKERS & CLINICIANS 2015-16 TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MUSIC Christopher J. Smith is Professor and Chair of Musicology and director of the Vernacular Music Center at the Texas Tech University School of Music. His book The Creolization of American Culture: William Sidney Mount and the Roots of Blackface Minstrelsy (Illinois, 2013) has won the 2015 Society for American Music’s Irving Lowens Book Award. The book has been called "a dazzling addition to the literature on American popular music and its history” and a “model for historians to think about the past from different angles." Dr. Smith is the author of numerous other publications, as well as a composer, librettist, and musical director. Frank Heidlberger is Professor of Music Theory at UNT and Chair of Music History, Theory, and Ethnomusicology. Dr. Heidlberger’s interests in research of Western Music history and theory of the 16th through 20th centuries are particularly focused on analytical techniques in 19th- and 20th-century music, the history of music theory, text criticism, performance practice, opera studies, music aesthetics and music journalism. He received acclaim with his books on, and editions of music by, Weber and Berlioz. Becky Moore is Artistic Director for the Idaho State University Children’s Chorus. The last six years have been spent as co-director with her talented daughter, Sarah Davids. The first three years were 1991-94 as she followed Texas State’s own, Dr. Lynn Brinckmeyer, who was teaching at ISU at the time. Both Moore and Davids received their Music Education degrees from Idaho State University.

  • Journal of the Vernacular Music Center
    Journal of the Vernacular Music Center Volume 2, Number 1 Improvisation and Vernacular Traditions in Historical Performance Improvisation and Vernacular Traditions in Historical Performance: We set about the consideration of this volume of the journal with a guiding idea that the discourse for both historically-informed performance and vernacular musics requires of the performer-scholar many of the same investigative and performative processes. Historically- informed performance, mainly within the last thirty years, has attempted to negotiate historical, cultivated, and vernacular traditions in an effort to explore the questions of context, lingual sensitivity, stylistic paradigms, and sonoric diversity. This has been a continually growing and shifting field of inquiry since the mid-20th century that acknowledges a dichotomy of scholarly and aesthetic issues, attempting to navigate them toward the realization of largely pre-tonal musics. For their part, musicians primarily concerned with vernacular musics are involved in many of the same questions as they consider the performance of canonic works within their repertoires, new works within a related paradigm, and the emerging area of performative confluence, where vernacular traditions are intentionally merged with other musical styles or traditions to query their inherent relationships or consider new, fertile collaborations. Changing social paradigms challenge traditional methods, contexts, musicians and audiences; who are the keepers of traditions and who decides when those traditions may be altered? The arbiters of the past have often been elders within traditional musical cultures, but this too has been subject to change in the face of artistic professionalism or issues of cultural survival. While some few musics are composed in a strict fashion where the performer is asked to follow the composer’s markings as faithfully as possible, many musical traditions incorporate improvisatory concepts.
