ARTHUR P. SCHOEP, 80, Professor Emeritus of music, died Dec. 4 at Denton Regional Medical Center.

Schoep was born Dec. 13, 1920, in Orange City, Iowa. He first joined the North Texas faculty as an instructor of music in 1948, serving for two years before continuing his education. He spent a year as a Fulbright Scholar in the Netherlands in 1950-51, researching contemporary Dutch music. He earned his bachelor's degree from the University of South Dakota in 1942, a master of music degree and a performer's certificate in voice in 1945 from the Eastman School of Music, an artist's diploma in voice from the New England Conservatory of Music in 1948, and a doctor of musical arts degree from the University of Colorado in 1962. He was a member of Phi Mu Alpha and Pi Kappa Lambda music honor societies.

Schoep studied with Boris Goldovsky at the New England Conservatory in Boston for two years and was a charter member of his first touring company in the 1940s. Goldovsky brought opera to towns across America for more than 25 years. Schoep performed with many opera companies and symphonies all over the United States.

He returned to North Texas in 1967 as a professor of music, directing the opera and teaching choral conducting, voice and diction. He was the host of the monthly radio program "Music from North Texas" that aired on KERA from 1979 to 1982 and on WRR from 1982 to 1989. He retired from UNT in 1990.

He also taught at Tyler Junior College, the New England Conservatory of Music, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and Temple Buell College in Denver. He was a contributing editor for Opera Canada, where he reviewed the Dallas and Fort Worth opera seasons.

He had served as president, vice president, regional governor and board member of the National Opera Association and was a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing and the American Guild of Musical Artists. He was music director at First Presbyterian Church in Denton for many years.

Survivors include his wife of 44 years, Donna Schoep; one son, Laurence; and two daughters, Michelle Schoep and Sandra Schoep, all of Denton; and one sister, Adri van den Dool Schoep of the Netherlands.

HENRY GRADY STEVENS, 78, of Denton died Oct. 31 at Denton Regional Medical Center. He worked at UNT as a medical laboratory technician for 29 years from 1959 to 1988.

He was born Feb. 18, 1923, in Jacksonville. He married Thelma Rorie on May 9, 1948.

Survivors include his wife; one son, Steve Stevens of Denton; one daughter, Paula Gawne of Baltimore; two sisters, Frances Dodds of Berwick, La., and Martha Willson of Monroe, La.; one brother, W.C. Albritton of Houston; and three grandchildren.
