SUMMARY:Amy Beach: Path-Breaking American Musician
DESCRIPTION:In this AMS/Library of Congress Lecture\, E. Douglas Bomberger gives a talk on a major figure in American music\, the remarkable composer and pianist Amy Beach (1867–1944).

SUMMARY:Studying Early Music with Computers: Tools\, Formats\, and Strategies
DESCRIPTION:In summer 2026\, the American Musicological Society (AMS) will host a two-week residential Institute for Higher Education Faculty entitled Studying Early Music with Computers: Tools\, Formats\, and Strategies at New York University\, 14–26 June 2026. This institute will apply insights from recent scholarship in humanistic music studies (musicology\, music theory\, music analysis\, etc.) and digital humanities to organize an innovative program for the machine-assisted study of medieval\, Renaissance\, and Baroque Music. It will bring together an interdisciplinary group of leading scholars and teachers engaged in using computers to do research on music history and theory and who are interested in involving students in their projects. \nStudying Early Music with Computers: Tools\, Formats\, and Strategies will provide support for thirty (30) participants and consist primarily of practitioner workshops and seminars on specific tools\, formats\, and machine-assisted investigative strategies. Through both expert talks and interactive workshops\, participants will be equipped with the knowledge needed to advance their own research and teaching\, including detailed explorations of the technical\, infrastructural\, and funding requirements necessary for conceiving\, developing\, deploying\, and maintaining digital humanities projects and programs for the study of early music (c. 1000–1750 CE). Each participant will receive a stipend of $2200 to support attendance and travel\, as well as access to reduced-rate NYU dorm accommodations. The 2026 AMS summer institute will be co-directed by Julie E.
