Publications by UT Faculty Two articles in American Music 22, no. 4 (2004) Articles by two UT faculty members appeared in the Winter 2004 volume of American Music. Using primary sources located in the archives at St. Edward's University here in Austin, Lorenzo Candelaria, assistant professor of musicology, chronicles the early years of a Mexican composer's sojourn in the United States. "Silvestre Reveultas at the Dawn of His 'American Period': St. Edward's College, Austin, Texas (1917-1918)" sheds new light on the year that Revueltas spent in Austin. In "Conlon Nancarrow and the Technological Sublime," Eric Drott, assistant professor of music theory, explores Nancarrow's music for player piano. Whereas the embodiment of the sublime is traditionally found in the overwhelming force of nature, Nancarrow's music, Drott shows, constructs a technological sublime that embraces the automatic, mechanical nature of the player piano.Forthcoming Elizabeth B. Crist has completed two books: Music for the Common Man: Aaron Copland's Music during the Depression and War and The Selected Correspondence of Aaron Copland, co-edited with Wayne Shirley.
