Lawrence Zbikowski, Associate Professor of Music, is a music theorist whose research focuses on applying recent work in cognitive science to various problems confronted by music scholars, including the nature of musical syntax, text-music relations, musical ontology, and the structure of theories of music. His research is drawn together in his recent book, Conceptualizing Music: Cognition, Theory, and Analysis (Oxford, 2002), which explores these issues through analyses of music from the 18th through 20th centuries. Ph.D., Yale, 1991; at Chicago since 1993.
