Her 2011 dissertation on the music and liturgy of Kloster Preetz received the AMS-50 award. She has previously published on the medieval sequence and proper office. Her book-in-progress examines the tenth-century proper offices of medieval Eichstätt, mediating between the office's historical, hagiographic, and liturgical contexts, and a musical-poetic analysis of the office as song cycle.

These open-access resources save valuable time in locating manuscript concordances and in the comparative analysis of repertoire and variants. They furthermore facilitate two new kinds of reading: the first, a broad survey across a wide sampling of manuscripts made possible by large data collections, and the second, the close examination of individual manuscripts in digital facsimile, unfettered by the constraints posed by traditional archival study. The emergence of such tools has moreover encouraged a refocusing of scholarly interest from the earliest origins of chant to include a diversity of repertoires and practices across space and time.
