Janette Tilley


Janette Tilley is Assistant Professor of musicology at Lehman College, The City University of New York, specializing in seventeenth-century Lutheran Germany. She earned a doctorate from the University of Toronto with a dissertation on sacred German dialogue compositions. She is interested in the intersections between music and piety, homiletics, and the construction of meaning in sacred vocal works. She has published articles in Early Music History, Music & Letters, and the Canadian University Music Review. Her edition of Andreas Hammerschmidt’s 1645 setting of the Song of Songs was published by A-R Editions in 2008 and she is currently working on a larger study of feminine imagery, piety and Song of Songs settings in the seventeenth century. She is associate editor for the Web Library of Seventeenth-Century Music, an on-line refereed publication of the Society for Seventeenth-Century Music.
