Jeffrey Wasson's scholarship covered an eclectic range of musical genres, from Gregorian chants to the early-20th-century work of American composer Charles Ives.
A music teacher at Barat College for 17 years and -- after that Lake Forest school closed -- at DePaul University, Mr. Wasson, 61, died of heart failure Monday, Jan. 4, at his home in Evanston, said his friend Sidney Friedman. He underwent a heart bypass operation 20 years ago and recently had been in failing health.
At DePaul, where Mr. Wasson was a music professor for the last eight years, he taught theory and history to music majors as well as music appreciation courses for students in other disciplines, said Kurt Westerberg, chairman of musicianship studies and composition.
