Dr. David A. Wells teaches bassoon and music history at California State University, Sacramento, where he also formerly served as co-director of the annual Festival of New American Music (FeNAM). As a performer, he plays both modern and period instruments in a wide variety of ensembles and styles. On modern bassoon, he freelances with orchestras throughout Northern California, collaborates with colleagues in chamber groups, and plays with the swing sextet Hot Club Faux Gitane. On Baroque bassoon, he has recently performed with the American Bach Soloists, the Pacific Baroque Orchestra, Sinfonia Spirituosa, the Sacramento Baroque Soloists, Capella Antiqua, and at the Carmel and Oregon Bach Festivals. This season, he will also perform on a Romantic-era bassoon with the Musica Redemptor orchestra in Austin, TX.



Wells serves as co-Executive director for the Meg Quigley Vivaldi Competition and Bassoon Symposium, a biennial three-day conference centered on a competition for young women bassoonists from the Americas. He is also active as a music scholar, having presented papers at the conferences of the American Musicological Society, the Society for American Music, and the International Double Reed Society, on topics including the history of the bassoon in jazz, rediscovering the bassoonist who first played the Rite of Spring solo, the effects of World War I on American orchestras, and cross-gender casting in the operas of Lully and Rameau.



Wells holds both a DMA in Bassoon Performance and an MA in Musicology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and previously studied at Florida State University and Arizona State University. His principal teachers include Jeffrey Lyman, Jeff Keesecker, and Marc Vallon.

Ravenscroft specializes in the music of twentieth and twenty-first-century American composers, including the music of Elliott Carter, rhythmic organization in post-tonal music, and the relationship between words and music. Her pedagogical research is focused on active learning, student engagement, and educational technology.

When is a sound heard as noise? How does one communicate what is noise to others? Drawing upon ethnographic research on Taiwan’s present-day noise control system, this talk examines the transformation of aural experience into contrasting modes of representation: decibel measurements and audio recordings. While decibel measurements are valued by government officials as objective, quantifiable indicators of noise, audio recordings are commonly used by Taipei city residents as an alternative, contextualized method to document the presence of noise. The emergence of two competing forms of “making noise” calls attention to the unique challenge of reproducing aural experience so that it may be recognizable and shared by others. In this talk, I argue that Taipei residents and environmental inspectors participate in an economy of machine listening, consisting of the decibel meter and home recording device, that aims to reconfigure auditory experience from the individual to the social. While acoustic ecologist R. Murray Schafer has drawn attention to the denigrating effects of mechanical reproduction on the auditory environment, residents and state actors in Taiwan actually come to know noise through the tools of mechanical reproduction.

Jennifer Hsieh is currently working on a book project, tentatively entitled From Festival to Decibel: Making Noise in Urban Taiwan, which is a historical and ethnographic study of the scientific, bureaucratic, and audiovisual practices underlying the production of environmental noise from early twentieth-century Taiwan to the present. Dr. Hsieh examines the efforts of residents, policy makers, and environmental inspectors to transform the fleeting qualities of sound into a regulatory object. By analyzing noise control practices of three separate political regimes in Taiwan, Dr. Hsieh investigates how perceptual acts of hearing and listening are tied to geopolitical questions of citizenship and belonging.

Dr. Hsieh has worked in a number of capacities to facilitate equity and inclusion for students, such as tutoring bilingual youth, developing leadership skills among underrepresented students, and mentoring international students. Dr. Hsieh's background in community-based public service in Dallas and Boston further informs Dr. Hsieh's commitment to supporting students from diverse backgrounds, including those from first-generation and immigrant households. In Dr. Hsieh's teaching and mentoring, Dr. Hsieh work towards providing an inclusive learning environment for students by attending to different learning styles, linguistic competencies, and knowledge practices.

Bruno Nettl, in his 1983 magisterial conspectus The Study of Ethnomusicology: 29 Issues and Concepts, suggested that this field might best be understood as “the science of music history.” And yet it can seem that what makes ethnomusicology unique among music disciplines is its devotion to ethnographic fieldwork. So what is the role of history in this field of study? How do ethnomusicologists “do” history? Do they understand themselves as historians or ethnographers or both? Since the demise of comparative musicology in the U.S., most historical writing in ethnomusicology has been associated with particular ethnographic studies. After an examination of some classic examples of historical studies in ethnomusicology, I discuss my recent attempt to skirt the problems of “universal history,” avoided in ethnomusicology since the 1960s, in my writing of what amounts to a history of the world’s music.

Our senses are our channels of contact with the world around us. Although we have traditionally thought of our different senses (touch, taste, etc.) as separate and having distinct jobs to do, it is becoming clear that the brain is not so neatly compartmentalized. Signals from different senses interact with each other, and the same information about the world can be accessed via different sensory channels. These discoveries have been important for understanding our auditory sense. We are finding that perception of things that were assumed to rely on vision or touch, such as shape, size or motions of objects, may also be perceived through sound. However, while this research has largely focussed on how we recognize these sorts of aspects of objects and events, perception is primarily for helping us navigate and interact with the world around us. That is, perception is intimately connected with action and vice versa. To get a better picture of the roles and potentials of the auditory sense, we need to explore how sounds can be actively brought into use to coordinate purposeful behavior. In this presentation, I will discuss research into how auditory perception can influence and guide different types of action. I will also describe some real-world scenarios in which these processes may be applied, including clinical gait rehabilitation and motor skill learning.

The Voice Department in partnership with the Early Music Ensemble, under the direction of Prof. Joseph Gascho, presents Alessandro Stradella’s two-part oratorio La Susanna. Based on an excerpt from the Book of Daniel, La Susanna tells the story of two elderly men who, spying on the virtuous young Susanna bathing naked in her garden, lust after her and pursue her. Rejected by Susanna, in their spite, they publicly accuse her of adultery, punishable by death. Exploring themes of sexual assault, misogyny, and entitlement, this fully-staged opera features a stand-out cast of undergraduate and graduate voice majors, accompanied by the stellar Early Music Ensemble.
