Composers BureauJames BennighofBiography James Bennighof is Associate Professor of Music Theory and Director
of the Academic Studies Division at the Baylor University School of
Music in Waco, Texas. Born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1957, he pursued
undergraduate studies at the University of Richmond in Virginia, and
received his master's and doctoral degrees in music theory and composition
from the University of Iowa. His scholarly work has appeared in the
Journal of Music Theory, Journal of Music Theory Pedagogy, American
Music, College Music Symposium, and International Dictionary
of Black Composers, and has recently focused on the analysis of
American vernacular music. Most of his compositional works are for
choir--mixed, women, or children. They often feature unique textual
premises, such as unusual narratives or extended whimsical wordplay.
Many of them are published by Oxford
University Press; others are available by contacting the composer
directly through his website,
where detailed information about all the pieces, including ideas for
rehearsal and performance, is provided.
