Biography
Richard (Lincoln) Crocker (b. Roxbury, Massachusettes, 17 February 1927). Musicologist.
He graduated from Yale College (BA 1950) and completed the doctorate under Leo Schrade in
1957 with a dissertation on the Limoges prosae. After teaching at Yale (1955-63), he was
assistant professor (1963-7), associate professor (1967-71), and full professor (1971-94)
at the University of California, Berkeley. He became known for his independent ideas in
A History of Musical Style (1966) and in his article,
The Troping Hypothesis
(Musical Quarterly, 1966),
for which he was awarded the Einstein Prize by the American Musicological Society. In
1969 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship. His work at Berkeley in developing methods for
teaching non-musicians is embodied in
Listening to Music (with Ann Basart,
1971). Crocker's major scholarly contribution, however, is to the history and analysis of
the medieval sequence, culminating in
The Early Medieval Sequence (1977).
His work on music theory and early polyphony has been important in providing the basis
for a new understanding of principles of composition in the Middle Ages, particularly
those connected with tonal order.

American Music
