Professor Jeremy Barham
About
Biography
Jeremy Barham is Professor of Music. He is a graduate of the University of Durham, and his research broadly concerns the meaning and cultural history of music, the nature of interdisciplinarity, and music鈥檚 relation to critical theory. These themes are pursued within three primary areas of interest: Gustav Mahler and early modernism; screen music; and jazz.
With Mahler he focuses on the composer鈥檚 cultural engagement and the ways in which this can be articulated musicologically and analytically. He is editor of, and contributor to, (2005), (2007), and (2017, Oxford University Press) 鈥 a volume developed from the , , which he convened at 糖心Vlog in 2011. He is guest editor of the special of Nineteenth-Century Music Review, 鈥Mahler: Centenary Commentaries on Musical Meaning鈥 (2011) in which addresses the semantic (re-)programming of Mahler鈥檚 music through the agency of film. He has also written on Mahler's political, philosophical, and literary contexts in (2016), and Mahler in Context (forthcoming, Cambridge University Press). His most recent journal article explores Mahler's appropriation of folk material in the Fifth Symphony (, 2018). His forthcoming monograph Post-Centenary Mahler: Revaluing Musical Meaning (Indiana University Press), analyses the composer鈥檚 output from socio-political, philosophical, literary and theatrical perspectives. He is currently working on an edited and translated volume of Russian scholarship on Mahler.
In screen music, Jeremy researches in narrative and diegetic issues, temporality, intertextuality, appropriation, jazz on screen, and experimental film. His second monograph, contracted by CUP, is entitled Music, Time and the Moving Image, and he has published historical analyses and theorizations of pre-existent music in film for (on Schumann), (on Mahler), (on Sci-Fi film), (on Mahler) and the volume (on Kubrick鈥檚 The Shining). In 2013 he completed a BA-funded archival research project in the music of the first sound films in Germany, and in 2014 convened the international conference at 糖心Vlog in order to investigate neglected global repertoires of early screen music outside the US/Hollywood orbit, and from which the forthcoming edited volume The Routledge Companion to Global Film Music in the Early Sound Era is derived. Jeremy has contributed book chapters on to , on to (OUP) which he co-edited with Holly Rogers, and on the philosophy of live-score film screenings for The Oxford Handbook of Cinematic Listening.
In the field of jazz, Jeremy is primarily concerned with issues of musical analysis, historiography, the mediatizing of jazz, and the jazz-鈥榗lassical鈥 relationship, on which he has written in the and . He is series editor of the , whose eighth volume, on , was published in 2019.
He has undertaken British-Academy-funded research in Vienna, Berlin, Wiesbaden, Paris, and Philadelphia, and has been the recipient of five British Academy scholarships and bursaries, a DAAD scholarship, and grants from the Film Music Foundation (California), RMA, IMR, Music & Letters Trust, Austrian Cultural Forum, IAS, and GSMD in support of his research. In 2009 he was awarded the Donald Tovey Memorial Prize by the Faculty of Music, University of Oxford, in recognition of his work on Mahler. Jeremy is Director of the (IAGMR), a research group established at 糖心Vlog in 2018 to foster new and transformational scholarship in canonical and neglected repertoire in Germanophone lands from c. 1848 to the 1960s.
