Richard Cohn (Music Theorist, Yale University)

Richard Cohn is Battell Professor of Music Theory at Yale University. His work on chromatic harmony has been the topic of a series of summer seminars convened by the late John Clough, and has been developed in about a dozen doctoral dissertations, at Chicago, Indiana, Yale, Harvard, and SUNY-Buffalo. His recently completed Audacious Euphony: Chromatic Harmony and the Triad's Second Nature is forthcoming from Oxford University Press. In preparation is a general model of meter with applications for European, African, and African-diasporic music, and a co-edited collection on David Lewin's phenomenological writings. His articles have twice earned the Society for Music Theory's Outstanding Publication Award. Cohn edits Oxford Studies in Music Theory.
