"My discipline is music. What’s not to like? A person who understands and can communicate through music has a grasp of the most subtle and powerful form of communication available to us mere mortals. Music is a window into the individual soul and the collective soul of the culture from which it emanates."

 
 
G. Victor Penniman
 
 

While Professor Penniman’s areas of expertise center on 14th century French music and the 16th to 18th century viola da gamba repertoire, he also cultivates an active interest and participation in current and popular styles, including electronic music and studio recording technology.
