UNIVERSITY PARK, PA - Maureen Carr, Penn State professor of music, recently received the Distinguished Alumna Award from the Graduate School of Rutgers, for her accomplishments in the humanities. The awards are presented annually by the Graduate School-New Brunswick to alumni/ae who have made significant contributions in the fields of biological sciences, humanities, physical and mathematical sciences and engineering, and the social and behavioral sciences.

Carr, who teaches undergraduate and graduate music theory, is a scholar of Igor Stravinky and studied extensively at the Paul Sacher Stiftung in Basel, Switzerland, in addition to archives in Paris and London. She has authored several books, including "Multiple Masks: Stravinsky's Neoclassicism in His Dramatic Works in Greek Studies," published by the University of Nebraska Press in 2002, and facsimile editions of the musical sketches for Stravinsky's Histoire du Soldat in 2005 (with commentary and invited essays) and the musical sources and sketches for Stravinsky's Pulcinella, anticipated in September 2009 (also with commentary and invited essays), published by A-R Editions. Carr's current research is "Stravinsky: The Uneven Path to Neoclassicism from 1914 to 1926," a project she plans as her fourth book on the composer. Carr has co-authored with Bruce Benward the books, Sight Singing Complete, fifth, sixth and seventh editions (McGraw-Hill, 2007). In April 2008, she discussed Stravinsky and Pulcinella on a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Radio Four program for the series Tales from the Stave. In April 2009, she presented a paper, "Order and Chaos in Stravinsky's Concertino (1920)," and she is invited to speak in Boston on the "Musical Origins of Stravinsky's Apollo (1928)" at the 100th anniversary celebration of the founding of the Ballets Russes on May 19, 2009.

Carr holds a bachelor of arts degree from Marywood College; a master of fine arts degree from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey; and a doctorate from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. She received an Outstanding Teaching Award from the Penn State College of Arts and Architecture in 1995; the Penn State Faculty Scholar Medal for the Arts and Humanities in 2005; and was named Penn State Distinguished Professor in 2008, which recognizes exceptional teaching, research, creativity and service to the University community. She was named a Distinguished Alumna by the School of Music at the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1998 and was a recipient of the Marywood University Alumni Association's Business/Professional Achievement Award in 2004.
