He has published on these subjects in Music Theory Spectrum, Music Analysis, Theory and Practice, Intégral, Journal of Music Theory Pedagogy, Intersections: Canadian Journal of Music, Dutch Journal of Music Theory, and Indiana Theory Review. Professor McClelland has read papers at meetings of the Society for Music Theory, Music Theory Society of New York State, Music Theory Midwest, Canadian University Music Society, and College Music Society, and he has been invited to present papers at the Fourth International Schenker Symposium and at international conferences devoted to Schubert and to Brahms.
Professor McClelland’s first book, Brahms and the Scherzo: Studies in Musical Narrative, was published in 2010 (Ashgate). This project was supported by a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). With Professor emeritus David Beach, he co-authored a textbook, Analysis of 18th- and 19th-Century Musical Works in the Classical Tradition, which will appear in 2012 (Routledge).
Professor McClelland offers numerous graduate and undergraduate electives in music theory and analysis, including Seminar in Schenkerian Analysis, Theories of Rhythm and Metre, Introduction to Research in Music Theory, Music Theory Pedagogy, Brahms: Symphonies and Chamber Music, Schumann: Instrumental Music, and The String Quartet in the Twentieth Century. He also teaches a graduate course on analysis-performance relationships in music since 1900, and he has taught three of the core undergraduate theory courses (Materials IIa, IIb, and III).
A prizewinner in the Eckhardt-Gramatté National Music Competition, Professor McClelland participates as pianist in premieres of new compositions. Prior to joining the University of Toronto in 2004, he served as Visiting Lecturer at Indiana University (2002–04).
