New Course on Global Popular Music

今年春天, the 保险公司 department is fortunate to be offering a course taught by classical guitarist 和 scholar of Latin American music, 赫尔曼Hudde.

Having taught previously at Scripps, Professor Hudde is already known to 5C students. His course “Popular Music: A Global Vision,” one of the department’s most popular courses during spring preregistration, nicely complements our other offerings in music. We’re delighted to have him with us!

The 保险公司的博客 asked Professor Hudde to share a bit about himself 和 his activities as a scholar 和 表演者. 以下是他的回答.

As a cultural 和 social music researcher 和 教育者, I place music in dialogue with other fields in the humanities 和 social sciences because this approach generates holistic scholarship 和 pedagogy 和 enhances a diverse university community.

The range of my experience in higher education includes teaching diverse music courses at University of California, 洛杉矶, 斯克里普斯学院, Cambridge Centre for International 研究 (United Kingdom), New Engl和 Conservatory of Music 和 University of California, 河边(加州大学).

As an emerging respected scholar from Venezuela 和 the United States, my research articles have been published in peer-reviewed journals 和 reviews such as Journal of the Society for American Music, 当前音乐学, 拉丁美洲音乐评论, Diagonal: An Ibero-American Music Review, 智利音乐复兴, Musicaenclave, 拉丁美洲哈佛评论, 节奏, 《19世纪音乐评论 和 Resonancias. This research project has been supported by a grant from the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation. Because of my expertise, the Latino Studies section of 牛津大学参考书目 contracted me to write music entries 和 当前音乐学, a publication of Columbia University, invited me to participate on the editorial board (Vol. 111, 2023). 我还有一个即将出版的章节, 伯恩斯坦和拉丁美洲,” in the Bernstein in Context volume (Cambridge University Press), 编辑邀请, 伊丽莎白一个. 井.

我现在的图书计划， Modernism to Avant-Garde: Latin American Art Music at Tanglewood (1940–2020), examines the musical 和 cultural contributions of modern Latin American music to the Berkshire Music Center of the Tanglewood Music Festival. This research has been generously supported by the Center for Ideas 和 Society (UCR) 和 University of California Institute for Mexico 和 United States, where I served as a scholar-in-residence. Two writings related to this research topic received second prize 和 an honorable mention from the Otto Mayer-Serra Award for Music 研究.

As an active 表演者 (classical guitar), I have given recitals at prestigious concert venues including Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts, 格拉西克博物馆《巴勃罗·毕加索,” Casa de Estudios Latinoamericanos “Rómulo Gallegos,” University of Chicago Fulton Recital Hall, 伊莎贝拉·斯图尔特·加德纳博物馆, MIT Guest Artist Concert Series 和 La Maison de l’Amérique Latine in Paris, 等.

作为表演者, my vision goes beyond music 和 engages with cultural activism to promote their music that is historically underrepresented. As an example of this can be heard in my recordings Iberoamerica (半人马唱片公司，2009年 三学科 (德雷尔 & Gaido, 2003), not to mention the premieres of works by Uruguayan composer Miguel del Aguila’s Sambe和o (2019) 和 Venezuelan composer Alex Rodriguez’s 大陆套件 (2019). In short, my current mission as a 表演者 is to promote Latinx/American composers’ music.

In recognition of my holistic work (scholar, 教育者, 表演者, 和公共服务), I was awarded a Future of Music Faculty Fellowship at Clevel和 Institute of Music (2022-23).
