AZ (A. Zayaruznaya) received their Ph.D. in historical musicology from Harvard University in 2010 and taught at New York University and Princeton before coming to Yale in 2014. Bringing the history of musical forms and notation into dialogue with medieval literature, iconography, and the history of ideas, AZ’s publications have focused on French and northern Italian music of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Their first book, The Monstrous New Art: Divided Forms in the Late Medieval Motet (Cambridge, 2015), explored the functions of monstrous and hybrid exempla in the compositional imaginary of fourteenth-century French motets. Their second book, Upper-Voice Structures and Compositional Process in the Ars nova Motet (Routledge, 2018) explores the compositional procedures and emic music-theoretical understandings that undergird the phenomena that modern scholarship has called “isorhythm” and “isorhythmic form.” And for the last decade AZ has been at work on The Making of Philippe de Vitry, which will be the first book-length study to focus on poet, composer, music theorist, and public intellectual Philippe de Vitry (1291–1361).
