Paul Everett, formerly Head of the Department of Music, University College Cork, Ireland, is well known as an editor of music and for his studies of early eighteenth-century manuscripts, particularly Vivaldi sources and their chronology, on which he has published numerous articles and other writings. Since the 1980s he has been one of the editors for the New Critical Edition of Vivaldi’s works, and is perhaps most noted as the author of Vivaldi: The Four Seasons and Other Concertos, Op. 8 (Cambridge University Press, 1996). He was instrumental in founding and designing Ireland’s first peer-reviewed musicological journal, the Journal of the Society for Musicology in Ireland, and served as its first Executive Editor (2005–9).
