David Carson Berry Biography

David Carson Berry is one of the most popular and richest Musicologist who was born on March 28, 1968 in Paragould, Arkansas, United States.

Berry was born in Paragould, Arkansas, as the only child of Jimmy Shelton Berry and Melba Moore Berry. The family moved to Marked Tree, Arkansas in

1969. The parents taught in the town’s only school district: the father, social studies; and the mother, home economics. Berry completed primary and secondary school there, graduating as the valedictorian of Marked Tree High School in 1986.

Berry attended Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, Arkansas, where music composition was his major and trombone performance was a secondary interest; he graduated magna cum laude in 1990, with a Bachelor of Music degree in composition. He next attended Memphis State University (now University of Memphis), where he initially began working on a master’s degree in composition. He changed his focus while there, and graduated with a Master of Music degree in music theory in 1993. His thesis, completed under the advisement of David Russell Williams, was entitled “Portrait with Retouches: The Adaptation and Transformation of Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Finale.” He was subsequently accepted as a doctoral student and teaching fellow at the University of North Texas; he was enrolled there from 1993 to 1995, and studied with John Covach, Graham Phipps, Janna Saslaw, David Schwartz, and others. He left the program after spring 1995, in order to apply to other schools. In fall 1996, he began doctoral studies at Yale University. While there he studied with Kofi Agawu, Gianmario Borio, Allen Forte, Michael Friedmann, David Kopp, Patrick McCreless, Robert Morgan, Claude V. Palisca, and Leon Plantinga. After his coursework was completed he taught “Elementary Studies in Analysis and Composition I and II,” for which he was awarded a “Prize Teaching Fellowship” in 2001, in recognition of “outstanding performance and promise as a teacher.” His dissertation, completed in 2002 under the advisement of Forte, was entitled “Stravinsky’s ‘Skeletons’: Reconnoitering the Evolutionary Paths from Variation Sets to Serialism.” Work on it was facilitated by a fellowship from the Whiting Foundation, and upon its completion the dissertation was accepted as “distinguished” by the Yale Music Department.
