AMS member Michael Noone has been named Edward T. Cone Member in Music Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Congratulations, Michael!

Dr. Noone is writing the first study of Susana Muñoz (d. 1625), a young autodidact who, with Artus Tavernier, founded a printing firm that achieved preeminence in universities and cathedrals of Golden Age Spain. Twice-widowed and thrice-married, Susana came to dominate the niche genre of Latin sacred music in large choirbook format in Early Modern Spain. The project revises our understanding of the transmission of Spanish sacred polyphony, and proposes a new theoretical framing of Iberian Choirbook Culture.

The Institute for Advanced Study is a private, independent academic institution located in Princeton, New Jersey. Work at the Institute takes place in four Schools: Historical Studies, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Social Science. A permanent Faculty of approximately thirty guides the work of the Schools, and each year some 200 visiting Members come to the Institute from universities and research institutions throughout the world.
