Dear Jacobs School of Music Family

It is with sadness that I share the news of the death of George Buelow last
evening. Professor Buelow (born 31 March 1929) received his bachelor's and
master's degrees from the Chicago Musical College, where he studied piano
with Rudolf Ganz. In 1951 he began graduate studies in musicology at New
York University under Martin Bernstein, Gustave Reese, and Curt Sachs.
Following a Fulbright fellowship in 1954-55, he returned to New York and
Chicago and served on the editorial staff of various music journals while
writing his dissertation on Johann David Heinichen's Der Generalbass in der
Composition. Professor Buelow received his Ph.D. from New York University in
1961, and from 1961 to 1968, he taught at the University of California at
Riverside. In 1966-67, he held a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1968 he was
appointed Professor of Music and chair of the department at the University
of Kentucky. In 1969, he became Professor of Music, Coordinating Chairman,
and Director of Graduate Studies at Rutgers University. Finally, in 1977 he
joined the School of Music at Indiana University as Professor of Musicology,
teaching courses not only in musicology but also in choral music and piano
until his retirement in 1999. He served for many years as American editor
for Acta musicologica, the journal of the International Musicological
Society (IMS), and as a member of the Commission Internationale Mixte for
the Répertoire Internationale des Sources Musicales (RISM). He also served
as president of the American Bach Society (1987-92), vice-president of the
American Handel Society (1989-93), as a member of the Directorium of the IMS
(1987-97), and on numerous boards. In addition, he was founder of the series
Studies in Musicology, which published 110 volumes (1977-90) under his
general editorship.

Professor Buelow specialized in German music of the 17th and early 18th
centuries, with emphasis on performance practice, music theory, and opera.
His dissertation, which was later revised and published as Thorough-Bass
Accompaniment According to Johann David Heinichen, provides a comprehensive
exposition of the relationship between the performance practice and music
theory of the time. He also authored more than 100 articles for both
editions of the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, as well as
numerous reviews and articles for various journals, Festschriften, and
collections. His study of opera includes 22 articles for the New Grove
Dictionary of Opera, as well as an edition of Johann Mattheson's Cleopatra
for the series Das Erbe deutscher Musik (1975).

On the occasion of his 65th birthday, Professor Buelow was honored with a
Festschrift of articles by colleagues and former students (Festa
musicologica [Pendragon Press, 1995]), and in October 2004, the Musicology
Department and the Center for the History of Music Theory and Literature
co-sponsored a "Celebration of Scholarship," a conference in honor of the
75th birthdays of Malcolm Brown and George Buelow, paying tribute to two men
who contributed so much to the Musicology Department, the Jacobs School of
Music, and the world of scholarship.

At Professor Buelow's request, there will be no services. Contributions in
his honor should be made to the OPUS Fund of the American Musicological
Society (6010 College Station, Brunswick, ME 04011-8451).
