British Postgraduate Musicology
Editorial board
RACHEL FOULDS (Editor-in-chief) attained BMus Music (Hons) from City University, London where she graduated the recipient of the Worshipful Company of Carmen Prize. Her undergraduate research at City University was largely centred upon the gendered politics of music and her interest in ethnomusicology was largely cultivated during this time. She was then awarded MMus with distinction in Russian Music Studies, having pursued postgraduate studies at Goldsmiths College, University of London, where her avid interest in the life and music of Galina Ustvolskaya was nurtured. She has furthered this interest in Ustvolskaya by now working towards her PhD at the same institution under the supervision of Professor Alexander Ivashkin, seeing her work presented and published internationally. Rachel has spent a significant amount of time researching in Ustvolskaya’s home city of St Petersburg, and most recently was awarded a residency scholarship to work in the Ustvolskaya Collection at the Paul Sacher Archive, Basle. Rachel took over as Editor of the BPM in 2008.

WILL LOCKART completed his undergraduate degree in Music at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge in 2006, where he was awarded the William Barclay Squire Prize for achieving the highest result of his graduating year. He studied for his Master's degree in Music at King's College, London where he worked with Professors Daniel Chua and John Deathridge on a dissertation which contained a Heideggerian reading of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis and which interpreted this analysis in light of the relationship between Heidegger and the Frankfurt School. On graduation he was awarded the Hilda Margaret Watts Prize. Will is currently studying for my PhD with Professor Dr. Dr. h.c. Hermman Danuser at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, whilst also in residence as a Pre-Doctoral Research Scholar at the Max-Planck-Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte where he am a member of an independent research group investigating the history and philosophy of listening.

JENNY TAMPLIN is currently completing AHRC-funded doctoral work at Oxford
University on the role of loss and melancholy in the re-emergence of the myth
of Orpheus in the twentieth century. She holds a BA (Hons) in Music and French
from the University of Bristol, and an MA in Music from Newcastle University,
where she wrote on subjects as wide-ranging as black musics and Birtwistle. At
present she gives tutorials at Oxford on contemporary music courses, as well as
teaching on issues in musical thought and aesthetics. Whilst the main focus of
her thesis is the music of Stravinsky and Birtwistle, she has also recently
given a paper on recording technology and repetition in James Brown. She
maintains her interest in contemporary music by playing with Ensemble Isis and
has recently founded a reading group at Oxford to discuss new scholarship and
debates in music.
