New Cambridge Music Handbooks

I serve as the General Series Editor of the New Cambridge Music Handbooks. This series builds on the legacy of the acclaimed 1990s Cambridge Music Handbooks of providing accessible introductions to landmarks in music history written by leading experts in their field. The new series takes a broad, inclusive approach, encompassing classical and popular music, and featuring hitherto underrepresented creators and genres, embracing the music of women composers and Black composers, as well as works from the established canon. The relaunch of this series was envisaged and brought about by Nicole Grimes (General Editor of the series) and J. P. E. Harper-Scott
