Biography

[edit]

Early life

[edit]

Mildred Carol Cook[1] was born on November 19, 1910, in St. Joseph, Missouri,[2] daughter of Ernest Farnham Cook.[3] Originally studying music, she studied at the University of Chicago (1928-1930), before obtaining her BMus at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1932 and her MMus at the University of Kansas in 1935.[4] She also spent some time abroad studying music, including at the American Conservatory, as well as at Juilliard School.[4][2] Among her piano teachers were Coenraad V. Bos, Robert Casadesus, and Camille Decreus, and Lucien Muratore taught her in singing.[2]

She originally had a career as a classical singer, particularly as a soprano, and she performed at concerts at the premises of Southern Illinois University.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] She also presented song recitals at SIU.[12][13]

Teaching career

[edit]

She worked as a professor of music at Colorado Women's College (1936-1940) and Stephens College (1940-1941), before working as a music instructor at the University of Illinois (1941-1944) and, beginning in 1944, Indiana University Bloomington,[4] particularly at the School of Music.[14] She was promoted to assistant professor in 1946,[4] before moving to Southern Illinois University in 1959,[5] where she became associate professor of music.[4][2]

In 1964, she moved to the University of Cincinnati – College-Conservatory of Music as associate professor of music,[15] where she also worked as the director of UC's Collegium Museum.[16] Other activities she assisted in at UC included the inception of their music doctoral program.[2] She was a visiting professor at the Stanford University Department of Music during the 1968-1969 academic year,[17] and she also returned to IU sometimes as a lecturer.[4] She was also a member of Sigma Alpha Iota.[3] In 1976, she retired from UC and became professor emeritus.[18]

Musicological and editing career

[edit]

She obtained her PhD in musicology from Indiana University School of Music in 1955; her doctoral dissertation, The Five-Part Madrigals of Giaches de Wert, was supervised by Willi Apel.[2][19] In 1962,[20] she was appointed a Guggenheim Fellow to do research on Giaches de Wert,[4] which she did as part of a research trip in Europe.[21] In 1966, she published Giaches de Wert (1535-1596), Life and Works, a monograph on de Wert.[22] By 1976, she was widely known as an expert on de Wert.[18] In 1979, she published Readings in the History of Music in Performance, an edited collection on the history of musical performance.[23]

In 1959, she edited Musica Liturgica's version of Paolo Isnardi's Missa Angelus Domini.[24] She and Melvin Bernstein co-edited seventeen volumes featuring Giaches de Wert music from 1961 to 1977.[25] In 1965, she edited The Bottegari Lutebook, the Wellesley Edition's eighth volume, featuring Italian renaissance music, particularly from Cosimo Bottegari.[26] She transcribed De Wert's music for Music from the Court of Mantua, a classical album released from Vanguard Records.[27][28] In 1970, one sheet music collection she edited was published by Karl Heinrich Möseler Verlag [de].[29] In 1973, she published an edited collection of solo music called The Solo Song: 1580-1730.[30]

She transcribed and edited Daniel Purcell's score of The Judgment of Paris, which she had originally discovered during a visit to the British Museum,[31] for that work's first performance since 1701; reportedly one of the first in English, it occurred at UC's Patricia Corbett Theater on May 20, 1973.[32][14]

Personal life and death

[edit]

On March 18, 1945, she married Lander MacClintock, a French professor at Indiana University Bloomington.[3] Her husband died on February 16, 1980,[33] while MacClintock herself died on January 3, 1989 in Bloomington, Indiana.[2]
