In Memoriam Robert Hurwitz
With regret, we must announce the passing of Robert Hurwitz, professor emeritus of music theory at the University of Oregon. Bob served on the faculty from 1965 to 2004, and was associate dean for undergraduate studies from 1999-2004. He was an award-winning teacher, a consultant to theory programs at other universities, and a reviewer for several journals and publishers. He served a 14-year appointment as chair of the editorial board of the Journal of Music Theory Pedagogy. And he was a teacher, advisor, and/or mentor of numerous former and active SMT members, including Timothy Smith, Steve Larson, Gary Karpinski, and Jack Boss.
