A new award for musicologists
Andrew McCredie, Professor of Music and Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities, died in 2006 leaving a bequest to the Academy. He wished the bequest to fund a musicological award:
...by way of a medallion and certificate to be given on a triennial or quinquennial basis to a post-graduate scholar of an Australian university under the age of 40 years for his/her distinguished contribution to the historical and/or systematic streams of musicology. The historical streams should cover European, Euro-Islamic or Euro-Semitic studies or those in the high cultures of Asia or in the field of transplanted or multi-lingual musical traditions...
The Academy is pleased to announce that the inaugural McCredie Musicological Award will be granted to a post-graduate scholar of musicology in 2008.
The Award will be made on the basis of outstanding research towards a Higher Research Degree (Masters or Doctoral) in an Australian University, who is under the age of 40 years as at 01/01/2008. The research may cover other areas of musicology than those stipulated.
Nominations for this award are now closed for 2008.
