Drew Massey, assistant professor of music, recently won the inaugural ASCAP Deems Taylor/Virgil Thomson Award for Excellence in Music Criticism, one of a handful of internationally competitive book awards for music, for his book John Kirkpatrick, American Music, and the Printed Page (University of Rochester, 2013). Although the Virgil Thomson award is new, the Deems Taylor awards were established in 1967 to recognize excellence in writing about music.
