The Well-Tempered Festschrift

'The Well-Tempered Festschrift' is a reading of 'Music Preferred: Essays in Musicology, Cultural History and Analysis in Honour of Harry White', edited by Lorraine Byrne Bodley and published by Hollitzer Verlag in 2018. 'The Well-Tempered Festschrift' reflects on each of the essays in 'Music Preferred' in turn, and it also accounts for the circumstances in which Harry White met the contributors to 'Music Preferred' throughout the course of his working life. 'The Well-Tempered Festschrift' is thus a musicological memoir as well as a detailed review of the contents of 'Music Preferred', dedicated to the friends whose work is pictured within. It responds to the liber amicorum of 'Music Preferred' with an answering echo that may well be unique in the annals of scholarly Festschriften.

Harry White is Professor of Historical Musicology at University College Dublin, where he has held the Chair of Music since 1993. He is a Fellow of the Royal Irish Academy of Music, and was inaugural President of the Society for Musicology in Ireland (2003-6). He was elected to the Royal Irish Academy in 2006 and to the Academy of Europe in 2015. In 2018, he was elected a Corresponding Fellow of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. His many publications include 'The Keeper's Recital. Music and Cultural History in Ireland, 1770-1970' (1998), 'Music and the Irish Literary Imagination' (2008) and 'The Musical Discourse of Servitude' (forthcoming in 2020).
