Rate My Professor Jess Tyre

Tyre’s research specializes in nineteenth-century music, particularly French music criticism, aesthetics, and performance practices. His ongoing projects include an examination of the reception of fin-de-siècle French composers in the United States and a study of intertextual relationships in nineteenth-century tone poems. As a dedicated educator within the Theory, History & Composition Department, he teaches courses on the post-romantic era, the music of Wagner and Verdi, film music, the historical development of the musical, and European folk music. Tyre has made significant contributions to music scholarship through peer-reviewed articles in prominent journals and collections. Notable among these is his publication “Music in Paris during the Franco-Prussian War and the Commune” in the Journal of Musicology (2005). Additional works appear in the Proceedings of the American Historical Association, Journal of Music Education Research, Library of Essays on Music, Politics, and Society, Journal of the Haydn Society of North America, and Beethoven Journal. These publications highlight his influence in exploring the intersections of music, history, and culture during pivotal periods.
