Biography

Hendrik Schulze has been Professor of Musicology at Stella Vorarlberg since 2023. After studying in Berlin (TU), Princeton, and Ferrara, he completed his doctorate at the University of Heidelberg in 2002 with a thesis on ‘The Figure of Ulysses in 17th Century Venetian Opera’. This was followed by positions at the Universities of Salzburg and Heidelberg. In 2009, he moved to the USA, first to the University of Illinois/Urbana-Champaign and then to the College of Music, University of North Texas, where he most recently taught as a full professor. His areas of specialisation include Italian music of the 16th to the 18th centuries as well as editing techniques, methods of music historiography, and historical performance practice. He has published on French dance and dance music in Europe at the time of Louis XIV (Olms, 2012) and Musical Text as Ritual Object (Brepols, 2015) and, together with Sara Elisa Stangalino, has published editions of Francesco Cavalli’s operas Artemisia and Xerse (Bärenreiter, 2013 and 2020 respectively). Together with students, he has edited Monteverdi’s Marienvesper and L’incoronazione di Poppea (Bärenreiter, 2013 and 2017 respectively). A thesis on Aristotelianism in Seventeenth-Century Venetian Opera is about to be published. At Stella, he will conduct research projects on musical life in the Alpine border region.
