Benjamin Ory is a postdoctoral fellow on a Stanford VPDoR Large Propel Grant. He received his Ph.D. in musicology from Stanford in 2022 and has since served as visiting assistant professor in musicology at Williams College. His research examines the origins of mid sixteenth-century musical style and its twentieth-century reception. He is editing a volume of motets for the Adrian Willaert collected-works edition with the American Institute of Musicology and is preparing several articles for publication on the early history of Renaissance musicology. Other projects include The 1520s Project, an open-source repository of music from the early sixteenth century, and the Early Music Concerts Database, 1915–1960, which tracks performances of medieval and Renaissance music in Europe and the United States.
