Materialities: Books, Readers, and the Chanson in 16th-c. Music, Authorship, and the Book in the First Century of Print (Berkeley and Los Angeles, 2013) contests celebratory accounts of the rise of the composer as author.
My most enduring scholarly interest has been the French chanson, and beginning with my edited collection, Music and the Cultures of Print (New York, 2000), I have developed critical approaches that leverage the popularity, broad circulation, and vastness of the chanson repertoire to chart new histories of musicking in the sixteenth century.

Meanwhile, my new edited volume outlines promising research trajectories at the larger scale of global music history: Seachanges: Music in the Mediterranean and Colonial Worlds, 1550–1800, I Tatti Research Series (2021). Polyglotism and heteroglossia are central themes in my present book project, Songs in Unexpected Places, which concentrates on minority communities and “foreign” songs in European cities such as Lyon, Venice, and Rome. My current projects grapple with questions of cultural mobility, human mobility, and migration and aim to develop models for connected histories of music in the sixteenth century. My research favors the ephemeral and works to recover histories only marginally legible in the documents of high culture. “Mediterranean Musicology and the New Thalassology: Questions of Method and Scale,” 49th Medieval and Renaissance International Music Conference, Lisbon, Portugalĭwight P. “ Conversations with Kate,” Blattner Lecture Series, Valley of the Moon Music Festival
