When the first edition of "Queering the Pitch" was published in
early 1994, it was immediately hailed as a landmark and defining
work in the new field of Gay Musicology. The first collection of
its kind, its contributors covered a wide range of subjects from
analysis of the work of gay composers to queer readings of
Schubert's Unfinished Symphony. Among the contributors were many
then-new scholars, --including the late Philip Brett (one of the
editors of the first edition), Susan McClary, Jennifer Rycenga,
Paul Attinello, and Martha Mockus--who have since become leaders in
the field.
In light of the explosion of Gay Musicology since 1994, a new
edition of "Queering the Pitch" is timely and needed. In this new
work, the editors are including a landmark essay by Philip Brett on
Gay Musicology, its history and scope, which was written for
Grove's Dictionary of Music-but only published in a greatly reduced
version, because of its strong political approach. The essay itself
has become a cause celebre, and this will be its first full
appearance in print. Along with this new historical essay, the
editors are contributing a new introduction that outlines the
changes that have occurred over the last decade as Gay Musicology
has grown.
