Michael Markham received his B.Mus in classical guitar and an M.M. in Music History from The Peabody Conservatory of The Johns Hopkins University where he studied performance with Julian Gray. His M.A. and Ph.D. in Musicology are from the University of California – Berkeley. His dissertation is entitled The Heritage of Campaspe: Oral Tradition and Giulio Caccini’s “Le nuove musiche” (1602). It touches on theories of performance and space in early 17th-Century Italy and the problem of text and Italian solo song in the Renaissance. He has published on nationalism and analysis in Bach’s “The Art of Fugue” and delivered papers theorizing solo song prints through the lens of printed commedia dell’arte scenarios and epic narrative poetry recitations and on oral-formulaic composition in the early monody.
