  • Download Levitz Musicological Elite.Pdf
    The Musicological Elite Tamara Levitz Musicologists have been gripped by the desire to democratize, diversify, decolonize, and popularize their discipline. Driven by a growing moral demand to challenge the Eurocentric, heteronormative, exclusionary, colonial, settler colonial, non-diverse, and white supremacist legacies of a discipline plagued by its rootedness in European classical musical tradi- tions, they have recently accelerated their efforts to expand the traditional canon, reform curriculum, and explore new mediums for the dissemina- tion of ideas (for example, “popular” internet blogs over expensive aca- demic monographs). In spring 2017, the Department of Music at Harvard University symbolically led the charge in this effort by announcing they would no longer require music theory and other courses, but rather ask students to pick “no more than two” of each type of course in their pro- gram, design their study plan with the Director of Undergraduate Studies, and include a rationale that outlines their path through the major. The only requirements left are the “Concentration Tutorials” that include courses on “Thinking about Music” and “Critical Listening.”1 Harvard Professors stressed that this change would create more “flexible pathways” through their program, eliminate the class-based implicit requirements to enter it, and, most importantly, allow for a greater diversity of students and student interests.2 Reactions to these plans on social media have been vehement and fiercely divided.3 That the standard curriculum in musicology programs has become an open wound or festering reminder of the labor injustice, class division, exclusions, structures of white supremacy, and inequality in the discipline became apparent again in October 2017, when an acrimonious debate, this time about eliminating the language requirements in musicology programs, erupted on the listserv of the American Musicological Society.

I conducted four pieces as part of the recital, including “The Hands that First Held Mary’s Child” by Dan Forrest, “Remember” from Two Rossetti Songs by Stephen Chatman, “The Moon is Distant from the Sea” by David N. Childs, and “Sleigh Ride” arranged by Andy Beck. Preparing to conduct these pieces involved a lot of work, much of which I have included in this thesis, including: researching biographies of the composers, arrangers, and poets associated with the pieces; doing literary analyses of the texts of the pieces; musical observations of the pieces; and critical reflection concerning rehearsal plans, cultivating the sound of the ensemble, and putting together the recital.

My contem- poraries included Harold Shapero, Irving Fine, Elliot Forbes, Gib Sturges, Leonard Bernstein, Jesse Ehrlich, Jan LaRue, Henry Mishkin, Jonathan Schiller, William Austin, and, of course, Richard French. Archibald Davison, Woody Woodworth, and Donald Grout were very much in evidence. Being at Harvard changed my life's goals. As an undergraduate in a small New Hampshire town, I had been thinking of studying mathematics, but then, in a great university, surrounded by musicians, the choice was definitely music. The music library at Harvard in 1936 was a modest room one floor above Paine Hall.
