| dc.description.abstract | Salamone Rossi, an Italian performer, composer, and Jew in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century lives on, for the most part, in brief mentions in textbooks for undergraduates in music history classes. Only a single published biography exists on the musician, and beyond this, scholarship on his life is limited and largely outdated. At first glance, the man appears to be a poor choice for a project such as a thesis – more is not known about him than is. Yet upon further inspection, Rossi’s legacy in both Baroque and Jewish music history is worth sharing, here and in the classroom. In this thesis, I examine the life and works of Salamone Rossi and demonstrate that our knowledge of these things is an invaluable teaching resource in music history pedagogy for undergraduate music students. Additionally, I provide resources for instructors to take into their own classrooms to push past common barriers when introducing new, under-researched material into the classroom. In doing so, it is my goal to help usher in a new model of music history pedagogy that gradually shifts how music history is taught toward a more diverse model, while still including information that is essential for undergraduates pursuing a conservatory-style degree. | en_US |
