Music Theory at Emory


Professor Yayoi Uno Everett is a native of Yokohama, Japan. Her research specializes on the analysis of postwar art music through the perspectives of cultural studies, film studies, semiotics, East Asian aesthetics, and mathematical modeling. Her recent and forthcoming publications include a monograph entitled The Music of Louis Andriessen (Cambridge University Press, 2006), an article on musical gesture and calligraphy in Chou Wen-chung's music (Contemporary Music Review vol.27/2), and on postwar Japanese avant-garde music in Robert Adlington, ed., Otherwise Engaged: Avant-garde Music in the Sixties (Oxford University Press, forthcoming). In addition, she has edited and contributed to a collection of essays entitled Locating East Asia in Western Art Music (Wesleyan University Press, 2004) and her publications appear in Intègral, Computer Music Research, Indiana Music Theory Review, Journal of Music Theory Pedagogy, Georgia Association of Music Theory Journal (GAMUT), Journal of Asian Music Research, Encyclopedia of Aesthetics, Music Theory Spectrum, and Tijdschrift voor Muzicktheorie. She received the Society for Music Theory Subvention award, grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Asian Cultural Council, Campus Research Board Funding (University of Illinois), Junior Faculty Development Award (University of Colorado), and scholarships from the Goethe Institute (Vienna, Austria) and the Aspen Music Festival. Prior to coming to Emory, she taught Music Theory at the University of Colorado (1992-99) and at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana (1999-2000). She has also served on the Test Development Committee for the Advanced Placement in Music Theory (Educational Testing Service: Princeton, NJ) during 1997-2000. She is currently secretary for Music Theory Southeast and serves on the Executive Board for The Society for Music Theory.

Dr. Everett completed a B.A. at Lewis & Clark College; an M.A. at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and a Ph.D. at the Eastman School of Music in 1994.
