In Memoriam Richard Parks
Richard Parks, Professor Emeritus of Music Theory at the University of Western Ontario, passed away peacefully at his home in Shaker Heights, Ohio, on July 5, 2017. Richard taught at Western from 1986 until his retirement in 2011. He was a charter member of the SMT, and served as Newsletter Editor from 1982 – 85. In addition to his scholarly work on Debussy, which included his formulation of a theory of pitch-class set genera, Richard will be fondly remembered for his extraordinary abilities as a teacher and a mentor, his humanity, and his grace. He will be deeply missed.
