Queering the Pitch (2nd ed)

When the first edition of "Queering the Pitch" was published in early 1994, it was immediately hailed as a landmark and defining work in the new field of Gay Musicology.

In light of the explosion of Gay Musicology since 1994, a new edition of "Queering the Pitch" is timely and needed.

In this new work, the editors are including a landmark essay by Philip Brett on Gay Musicology, its history and scope.

The essay itself has become a cause celebre, and this will be its first full appearance in print.

Along with this new historical essay, the editors are contributing a new introduction that outlines the changes that have occurred over the last decade as Gay Musicology has grown.
