DR. REBECCA CYPESS
Dr. Rebecca Cypess, a member of the Worcester Academy Class of 1996, is a former adjunct faculty member of the Yale Department of Music and Yale School of Music, and lecturer at Southern Connecticut State University. She joined the faculty of the New England Conservatory in the Fall of 2008 upon completing her doctorate in musicology at Yale.
Dr. Cypess regularly publishes in scholarly journals with articles and reviews in Early Music, the Journal of Musicology, the Galpin Society Journal, the International Review of the Aesthetics and Sociology of Music, Early Music America, and Encyclopedia Britannica.
She has presented papers at meetings of the American Musicological Society, the Renaissance Society of America, the American Musical Instrument Society, and the Society for Seventeenth-Century Music.
Although her primary area of research is 17th-century music, she has also written and lectured on ethnomusicological issues in the American Jewish community, and she has an essay due to be published soon on John Adamss opera Doctor Atomic. She is currently writing her first book, which deals with the negotiation of time and the preservation of memory in Italian instrumental music between 1615 and 1630.
Dr. Cypess has a B.A. in music history and performance from Cornell University, as well as an M. Mus. in harpsichord performance from the Royal College of Music, and an M.A. in Bible from Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies at Yeshiva University. She received her M.A. in M.Phil., and her Ph.D. in music history from Yale University.
