Ernest Campbell Mead, Jr.[1] (1918 in Richmond, VA – February 13, 2014)[2][3] was a professor of music and former chair of the McIntire Department of Music at the University of Virginia.
Mead graduated from the University of Virginia in 1940 with a major in German language and literature.[4] While a student at the University, he was a member of the Virginia Glee Club[5] (in the 1936-1937 season), the Raven Society, the Jabberwock Society, and the Student Concert Committee,[6] and a student of John Powell.[1] He went on to Harvard University to earn his Ph.D.[2] He returned to the University in 1953 as a professor.[4]
Mead's musical research focused on instrumental ensembles; his doctoral dissertation focused on the instrumental works of Girolamo Frescobaldi.[7]
As chairman of the McIntire School of Music in the University of Virginia College of Arts and Sciences, Mead was instrumental in securing donations to establish the U.Va. Music Library.[8] He also worked with University professor Walter Ross to re-establish a University orchestra in 1967, now called the Charlottesville and University Symphony Orchestra.[9] His office in the University's Old Cabell Hall was famous for its position "beneath the truth," that is, under the words "the truth" in the carving on the pediment, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free."[10] He retired from active teaching in 1996.[11]
Since 1972 Mead taught a liberal arts seminar at the University, continuing into his retirement. Friends of Mead established the Mead Endowment to "continue his legacy of faculty-student interaction"[12] He was a recipient of numerous University awards, including the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award, the faculty awards of the IMP Society, Z Society, and Raven Society, and the University's Thomas Jefferson Award "for advancing, through his character, work, and personal example, the ideals and objectives for which Jefferson founded the University."[2] He received the Gilbert J. Sullivan Distinguished Service Award for his support of the Glee Club in 2010.
