Samuel Brannon (BM ’09 Composition, MM ’10 Composition), presently a Ph.D. candidate in musicology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was recently awarded an Alvin H. Johnson AMS 50 Dissertation Fellowship from the American Musicological Society. This highly-competitive and prestigious award supports the completion of his dissertation, “Writing about Music in Early-Modern Print Culture: Authors, Printers, and Readers,” which examines the impact of printing technology of Renaissance music theory. His research has also been supported by a fellowship from the Newberry Library in Chicago, which he was awarded last summer.
