Educational and Professional Background
Studied composition, harpsichord and organ at the Royal College of Music, then took the MMus at King's specialising in 15th-century music. Following doctoral research at Cambridge, working on 14th-century techniques of composition, he became a Fellow of Churchill College. He taught at Nottingham and Southampton universities before rejoining the Music Department at King's College in September 1997. He received funding for a five-year project on "Expressivity in Schubert Song Performance" within the AHRC Research Centre for the History and Analysis of Recorded Music (CHARM), also directing a large-scale discographical and digitisation project, making available 78rpm recordings from the King's Sound Archive online. He is currently working on "Performers' Perceptions of Music as Shape" within the AHRC Research Centre for Musical Performance as Creative Practice.
