Lori Kruckenberg is an early music specialist.
She joined the University of Oregon as assistant
professor of music history in 2001. She previously
taught at the University of Iowa and the University
of Louisville where, in addition to her instruction
of introductory and intermediate courses at
the undergraduate and graduate levels, she
taught specialized topics in history of theory,
American music, Medieval notations, and Renaissance
notations. Topics of graduate seminars have
included the history of polyphonic settings
of the Mass, Magnificat, and Songs of Solomon.
Her seminar for Winter 2002 deals with various
types of medieval chant, including carmen
gregorianum, cantica nova, and the works
of Hildegard of Bingen.
Kruckenberg's collegiate studies began at
Bethany College in Kansas, where she received
a baccalaureate in music with a secondary emphasis
in history. She has an M.A. and Ph. D. in musicology
from the University of Iowa. The recipient
of various scholarships for study abroad (including
a Fulbright Scholarship to Germany), she was
in residence at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität
Erlangen-Nürnberg from 1992 to 1996. There
she conducted her doctoral research under Andreas
Haug and participated in advanced seminars
at the Bruno-Stäblein-Archiv für Musikwissenschaft,
an international archive dedicated to the study
of plainchant.
Her publications include articles on the sequence
for Revue bénédictine and Die Musik
in Geschichte und Gegenwart (MGG). For
her dissertation “The Sequence from 1050-1150: Study of a Genre in Change,” she received the
Rita Benton Outstanding Dissertation Award
in music in addition to the Graduate Dean's
Distinguished Dissertation Award, a university-wide,
triennial prize for the best dissertation in
the humanities.
Kruckenberg has presented at several conferences
in the U.S., including regional and national
meetings of the American Musicological Society
as well as the International Congress on Medieval
Studies in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She has been
invited to present at various European congresses,
colloquia, and workshops in Leeds, Erlangen,
Salzburg, Basel, Paderborn, Trondheim (Norway),
and Utrecht (The Netherlands). Her most recent
studies have focused on ordinals, the performance
practices of sequences, proper tropes in the
Rhine-Maas tradition, aspects of liturgy in
medieval Nidaros, and the sequence in Carolingian
and post-Carolingian periods.
