Graeme Cotterill, originally from Newport in South Wales, is a graduate and former lecturer in music of Bangor University, where he completed a PhD on the relevance of the Welsh nation to the life and music of Grace Williams. Oriana Publications, Cardiff, have published his editions of eight of her most significant works, including her two symphonies and Missa Cambrensis. The editions of the symphonies were used in bbc Radio 3 broadcast performances by the bbc National Orchestra of Wales under Owain Arwel Hughes. His edition of Williams’s Sextet (for oboe, trumpet, violin, viola, cello, and piano) permitted its world premiere by Ensemble Cymru at North Wales International Music Festival in 2010. He is now proud to work for North Wales Wildlife Trust.

Lindsey Eckenroth is adjunct lecturer at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York (cuny) and is pursuing her PhD in musicology at the cuny Graduate Center. Her research interests include audiovisual (re)presentation in rock documentaries and the composers of New York City’s downtown scene, particularly Laurie Anderson. Eckenroth is also a flautist in a number of New York–based chamber ensembles dedicated to the performance of new music.

Margaret Farrell is a recent graduate of the City University of New York PhD program in ethnomusicology. Her dissertation explores aspects of adaptation in the Egyptian singing film. In addition to her geographical interest in the music of Egypt, her research is more broadly concerned with narrative film as a transcultural genre. She is currently expanding the scope of her work with a comparative project on musical film systems around the world. The theoretical focus of this project is the process and products of adaptation as it relates to narrative, musical, and presentational forms.

Mary Lee Greitzer is a lecturer in music theory at the Shepherd School of Music. Her research in feminist music theory brings issues of voice, body, and performativity to bear on structural analyses of music in various genres.

Tammy L. Kernodle is professor of musicology at Miami University in Ohio. Her work has concentrated primarily on the intersection of race and gender in both concert and popular music. Her work has appeared in a number of anthologies and journals, and her monograph Soul on Soul: The Life and Music of Mary Lou Williams is the most current biographical and analytical study of the jazz pianist and her music.
