Rae Linda Brown (1953 – 2017) was an American musicologist.
As a scholar, archivist and editor Dr. Rae Linda Brown published on the life and work of Florence Price and William Grant Still. Brown also conducted research on topics in American classical music, Black Music and African-American classical composers. As a professor and administrator Brown led in the creation of new academic programs at the University of California, Irvine, Loyola Marymount University, and Pacific Lutheran University.
Brown grew up in Hartford Connecticut and earned degrees at the University_of_Connecticut and Yale University.[1] Brown's doctoral work at Yale catalogued sheet music and scores in the James Weldon Johnson memorial collection at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library and comprises Volume 23 of the Garland Critical Studies on Black Life and Culture.[2]
In the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s Dr. Brown rediscovered, edited, and published critical analyses of Florence Price's music. This research became the basis for a wider recognition of Price's role in and contribution to American music. [3] [4] [5] [6] This recognition contributed to the discovery of previously unknown scores now housed at the University of Arkansas. [7] [8]
Dr. Brown was a Professor at Michigan University and The University of California, Irvine. At Irvine Brown served as the Robert and Marjorie Rawlins Chair of the Department of Music.[9] In this role Brown oversaw completion of a new building for the department, the development of new academic programs in jazz, and a doctoral program in Integrated Composition, Improvisation, and Technology. From 2008-2015 Brown was the Vice President for Undergraduate Education at Loyola Marymount University; [10] from 2016 until her death Brown was the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at Pacific Lutheran University.[11]
