Allen Scott, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Music History and Coordinator of Graduate Studies in Music at Oklahoma State University. In 2010-2011 he taught at the Musicology Institute of the University of Wrocław in Wrocław, Poland as a Fulbright scholar. His publications include Hands On Musicology: Essays in Honor of Jeffery T. Kite-Powell (Steglein Press), the forthcoming third edition of the Sourcebook for Research in Music (Indiana University Press), the revised and expanded second edition of the Sourcebook for Research in Music, Thomas Elsbeth's Sontägliche Evangelien (A-R Editions' Recent Researches in the Music of the Baroque series no. 127), Nikolaus Gengenbach's Musica nova: Newe Singekunst: A Commentary, Critical Edition and Translation (Institute of Mediaeval Music, Music Theorists in Translation Series no. 14), two articles in the second edition of the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. He has written articles for Muzyka; the Karl Lipinski Music Academy in Wrocław, Poland; Performance Practice: Issues and Approaches; Theoria: Historical Aspects of Music Theory; and the Baylor Journal of Theatre and Performance. In addition, Dr. Scott has presented papers in Wrocław, Weimar, Rome, London, Leuven, Belgium, and at several annual meetings of the American Musicological Society and the International Musicological Society. At OSU, Professor Scott teaches the undergraduate Music History courses, Introduction to Research in Music, and the graduate Music History seminars. He received the Ph.D. in Historical Musicology from Florida State University and the M.M. in Musicology from the University of Alabama.

In August 2008 Dr. Jeffery T. Kite-Powell retired as Professor and Coordinator of Music History and Musicology at The Florida State University. During his 24-year tenure at FSU, Dr. Kite-Powell taught musicology and music history, helped to revive the doctoral program in musicology, and founded and directed the FSU Early Music Ensemble. In recognition of his 24 years of teaching, scholarship, and dedication to the cause of historically informed performance, Dr. Kite-Powell's students and colleagues honored him with a Festschrift. The volume's essays reflect the broad scope of Dr. Kite-Powell's influence on traditional musical scholarship and current ideas on performance practice. Because not all of his students and colleagues have established themselves as early music specialists, the topics range across the historical periods, from the Medieval era to the early twentieth century.
