Jack Stebbing is a PhD candidate at Jesus College. His doctoral research, supervised by Professor Sam Barrett and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and a Jesus College Hogwood Scholarship, focuses on the sequence—a kind of 'liturgical song' following the alleluia in the mass, functioning as a splendid prelude to the Gospel—in England in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Jack read Music at St Catharine's College, Cambridge, for which he won the William Barclay Squire Prize for Music History, and completed a Master of Studies in Music (Musicology) at Jesus College, Oxford, supervised by Professor Elizabeth Eva Leach and funded by the Ralph Leavis—Lydia Chan scholarship. His work on the music in a twelfth-century miscellany from Shrewsbury was recently published in Plainsong and Medieval Music (Cambridge University Press).
Jack is a Lay Clerk at the Choir of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, and sings in the Cambridge Early Music Consort.
