About
My research focusses on music in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Britain. I have recently completed a project on a flute concerto by Antonio Vivaldi ('Il Gran Mogol'), the only known source of which I discovered among the papers of the Marquesses of Lothian in the National Archives of Scotland, Edinburgh, in 2010. My critical edition and reconstruction of the work (whose second violin part is missing) was published by Edition HH in 2010, and my full-length study has appeared in *Studi vivaldiani *10 (2010). In October 2011 I am starting a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship in the Department of Music at the University of Edinburgh to research archival materials relating to musical life in eighteenth-century Edinburgh the main outcome of which will be a monograph.
At present I have two principal research projects in progress. One is a study entitled ‘Purcell and Ostinato Bass: the Reception of Lully’s “Scocca pur” (LWV76/3) in England’. This endeavours to examine the late seventeenth-century English and broader northern European context of Purcell’s use of ostinato bass technique. The other is on a late-eighteenth century Handel manuscript, and is provisionally entitled ‘The Handel Attributions in the Keyboard Manuscript of William Walond Junior Reconsidered’. To research this project I have been awarded the 2011 J. Merrill Knapp Research Fellowship from the American Handel Society.
In July-August 2011, I was a Research Fellow in the Centre for Eighteenth-Century Studies at the William Andrews Clark Library, Los Angeles.
I am also presently working on two critical editions, an anthology of English keyboard music 1650-1695 for the Purcell Society Edition Companion Series, and a volume of Restoration theatre suites that I am co-editing with Peter Holman for the Musica Britannica series.
In 2011 I co-organised with Eramso Estrada, Eleanor Smith and John Kitchen, the ‘1st International Conference on Historical Keyboard Music: Sources, Contexts and Performance’ (1-3 July). I am also editor of the bi-yearly performance practice journal *Early Music Performer: the Journal of the National Early Music Association*.
