    Biography

    Lorraine Byrne Bodley is Professor of Musicology at Maynooth University. She holds a double doctorate in Music and in German from University College Dublin (2000), and is the first woman in Ireland to be conferred with a DMUS in Musicology, a higher doctorate on published work (NUI, 2012). Major grants and awards for her research on Schubert, on Goethe and Music, include Principal Investigator of an IRCHSS New Foundation Schemes (2016 and 2018); a Gerda Henkel Foundation scholarship (2014); two DAAD Senior Academic’s Awards (2014 and 2010); an Irish Research Council for Humanities and Social Sciences Postdoctoral Fellowship (2001–03) and the Goethe Prize of the English Goethe Society (2001). In 2010 she was Visiting Professor at the University of Leipzig. In 2014 she was Gerda Henkel Research Fellow at Schubert Archive at the University of Tübingen and an invited Board Member of the Internationale Schubert-Gesellschaft (Tübingen and Vienna). In 2015 she was elected to The Royal Irish Academy and the first woman to be elected President of the Society for Musicology in Ireland, for which she served two terms (2015-2021).  In 2016 she was granted a personal chair in musicology at Maynooth University, in 2017 she was elected NUI Representative for Music for the Department of Education and in 2018 she was re-elected President of the Society for Musicology in Ireland. In 2020 she was invited to be Board Member of the Kommission für Schubert Forschung (Schubert Research Centre, Vienna) at the Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaft and General Editor with Harry White of the international book series Irish Musical Studies (Four Courts Press 1990–2020 and Boydell and Brewer, 2020–). In 2021 she was appointed to the Council of the Royal Irish Academy.

    Lorraine Byrne Bodley is widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost authorities on Schubert, on Goethe and Music, on which she has lectured and published prolifically. She has given over 150 international guest lectures and keynote addresses (in German and in English) in Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, the Nederlands, Russia, Scotland, UK, USA.  She has published 15 books. Her most recent publication, which she considers her magnum opus, Schubert. A Musical Wayfarer, is a major new biography on Schubert which was commissioned by Yale University Press and published in July 2023. She has published five essay collections on Schubert including Rethinking Schubert (Oxford University Press, 2016 pb 2017) and Schubert’s Late Music: History, Theory, Style (Cambridge University Press, 2016, pb 2018).  In addition to her monographs and edited collections, she has written over 50 book chapters and articles which have appeared in the Schubert-Jahrbuch, The Schubertian, Music and Letters; Musiktheorie; Nineteenth Century Music Review; The Musical Times; Publications of the English Goethe Society; German Quarterly, Oxford German Studies and the Goethe-Jahrbuch.

    Bodley’s research is internationally recognized in two disciplines: Musicology and Germanistics. Publications on Goethe and Music include: Music in Goethe’s Faust: Goethe’s Faust in Music (Boydell & Brewer, 2017) and Goethe and Zelter: Musical Dialogues (Ashgate, 2009) which was named an Outstanding Academic Book of 2010 by Choice and has been widely acclaimed as an ‘excellent translation’ and ‘a major contribution’ to musicology and Goethe studies (Music and Letters, The Schubertian, Choice, Modern Language Review, German Quarterly). Her critical edition of Eberwein and Goethe’s melodrama, Proserpina, was premiered by the National Symphony Orchestra in the National Concert Hall in Dublin (2007), toured by the Thüringer Symphoniker (2010) and most recently performed by the Munich Symphony Orchestra in 2016. 

    A large part of Lorraine’s work includes public outreach including an invitation to curate a pre-concert lecture series on Schubert Symphonies performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by Gustavo Dudamel (2016) and Schubert. Dreaming the Sublime, a Festival of Schubert Late Works at the Kilkenny International Arts Festival Ireland (2017). She is a regular speaker at the Oxford Lieder Festival (2012–) and is an invited member of the Beethoven Ringvorlesung at the Barenboim-Said Akademie (Berlin, 2021).

    In her role as Professor of Musicology in Maynooth, Prof. Byrne Bodley is a deeply committed teacher and mentor of doctoral and postdoctoral research. She has supervised 40 graduate students including 16 doctoral and postdoctoral students. She has been a leader of 8 research projects in the past 10 years, including full time IRC positions of pre- and post-doctoral researchers. In her lectures at Maynooth, she expands access to music, art and literature for undergraduate and postgraduate students by providing pathways to composers, historical and contemporary figures, which inspire young people to chase their dreams. She  passionately believes access to art music is a catalyst for learning and self development. She endeavours to humanize composers and their music for students to promote individual empowerment and change within themselves and their own lives. 

    As a biographer Lorraine Bodley is aware of the privilege and responsibility of an artistic bequest, and the central role a family can play in a composer’s reception history. As curator of her husband’s manuscripts, she corresponds regularly on his behalf and is deeply committed to the promotion of his life’s work. She has commissioned three song cycles; arranged numerous performances and edited critical editions of his music including A Community of the Imagination: Seóirse Bodley’s Goethe’s Settings (Carysfort Press, 2013); A Hazardous Melody of Being: Seóirse Bodley’s Song Cycles on the Poems of Micheal O’Siadhail (Carysfort Press, 2008) and Seóirse Bodley: Three Congregational Masses (Dublin: Carysfort Press, 2005).

    National Concert Hall Civic Society International Public Musicology Symposium, National Concert Hall Keynote Speaker: Christopher Gibbs James H. Ottaway Jr. Professor of Music IRCHSS New Foundations Scheme. The aim of this symposium is to ask how musicology relates to the ‘public voice’, the voice of culture at large. At a time when the government is calling for a new level of connectedness between higher education and wider society, academics are under increasing pressure to address this issue of civic engagement. Additionally, as many of our doctoral graduates do not follow an academic career path, there is an urgent need to offer alternative pathways to graduate students forging a career beyond the academy. The aim is to open up dialogue between academics and musicologists working in archives, music festivals, and the media, in Ireland and internationally.
