We are very excited to have received word that J. Peter Burkholder’s article, “Music of the Americas and Historical Narratives,” from the Winter 2009 issue of our journal American Music, is a winner of the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for 2010. Burkholder’s article, which argues for greater inclusion of American music history in the study of Western/European music tradition, was chosen in the Symphonic Music Articles category and will be honored at a special reception on December 9, 2010 in New York.
Congratulations to Professor Burkholder and to Michael Hicks, editor of American Music.
