Biography
Tadhg Sauvey is a postdoctoral fellow in the Faculty of Music. He is a historian of music in francophone areas of Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries. His current project (‘Modal Theory in France, 1815–1945’) is a history of the ideas of modality and modal music in modern French writing. Other broad interests are religion and historicism; he has written on Catholicism and musical modernism, revivals and reception of early music, the historical imagination, and the aesthetic problems of writing in “historical” styles (explored in his doctoral thesis through the case of Catholic church music in the late 19th/early 20th centuries).
