Jeffery T. Kite-Powell (born June 24, 1941) is an American musicologist and professor emeritus at the Florida State University College of Music where he was active from 1984 to 2013.

[1] Kite-Powell's primary focuses are the music of the Renaissance and early Baroque periods, organ tablature, historical performance practice, and Michael Praetorius.

Kite-Powell has written multiple articles based on his research of Michael Praetorius and published a translation of the 1619 treatise Syntagma Musicum III.

In this "interview", Kite-Powell outlines Praetorius's education, career, and contributions to musical theory and performance in an approachable, question and answer format.

Kite-Powell's book also covers the compositions of Jacob Praetorius contained within the tablature, which he notes are "of great significance" as well as the contributions of Johann Bahr [de].

Tomás Luis de Victoria's Officium Defunctorum (Requiem Mass à 6) is the most listened to performance and has garnered numerous reviews.
