At their recent national conference, the Society for Music Theory (SMT) awarded Timothy A. Johnson an SMT Publication Subvention Grant for his book-in-progress, John Adams's Nixon in China: Musical Analysis, Historical and Political Perspectives (Ashgate Publishing, expected late 2011).
This competitive, peer-review, award provides funding toward direct costs associated with publication, such as license fees for musical examples. Dr. Johnson is associate professor of music theory and has taught at Ithaca College for thirteen years. This will be his third book since joining the faculty of the School of Music.
