Christopher Hasty
Christopher Hasty, Walter W. Naumburg Professor of Music at Harvard University, is a specialist in music of the 20th century. Mr. Hasty received the Samuel F.B. Morse fellowship, 1985; and Paul Mellon fellowship, 1988. Hasty's publications treat problems in the theory and analysis of post-tonal music, particularly in relation to problems of temporality, and his book, Meter as Rhythm, won the Wallace Berry Award from the Society for Music Theory as the outstanding theory study of 1998. Among works now in progress is a book on problems of musical form conceived as process. Hasty was editor of the Journal of Music Theory (1987-90), and served on the editorial board of Music Theory Spectrum (1982-87). He began his teaching at Harvard in the fall of 2002.
