Yossi Maurey (born October 28, 1971) is an Israeli musicologist. His research specializes in medieval sacred music, liturgy, and ritual, with a particular interest in the confluence of theology, music, manuscript culture and ideology.[1] Maurey has been a faculty member of the department of Musicology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem since 2008, where he holds the Hans Salter Chair in Musicology and has been appointed twice to serve as Chair of the department. Since October 2021, he serves as vice dean of research and development for the faculty of the Humanities in the University.[2] He is also a corresponding foreign member of the Société nationale des Antiquaires de France (SNAF).[3]

Life and career[edit]

Education[edit]

Maurey received his Bachelor's degree from the Hebrew University in 1997. He attended the University of Chicago for his graduate studies, earning his M.A. in 2000 and his Ph.D. in musicology in 2005.[4]

Research[edit]

Maurey is a specialist of music and liturgy in medieval France, and of the Gregorian chant.[5] His articles and books examine the effectiveness of music in the cultivation of collective identities in the Middle Ages, and integrate music and liturgy into the history of the Middle Ages in general. His research often focuses on individual musical pieces (Guillaume de Machaut’s Motet 5, an anonymous motet composed ca. 1500) or feasts (Corpus Christi), but more frequently on religious institutions (Saint-Martin of Tours, the Sainte-Chapelle) and the saints or relics to which they were dedicated. In the realm of popular music, Maurey has also published on role of music in the construction of national and sexual identities in the music of Dana International, an Israeli pop icon.

Awards and prizes[edit]

Maurey is the recipient of the Alon Scholarship for the Integration of Outstanding Faculty by the Council of Higher Education (2010-2013),[6] and the Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality in the Humanistic Disciplines: 2015 (First Prize), and 2022 (Second Prize).[7] He also received the Rector’s Prize for Excellence in Teaching and Research (2016), and was awarded with several research grants from the Israel Science Foundation (2009-2011, 2016, and 2018-2022).[8]
