Queering the Pitch

<p>When the first edition of <em>Queering the Pitch</em> 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 <em>Queering the Pitch</em> 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.</p>
