Sharing the Voices
The Phenomenon of Singing
International Symposium II
St. John's, Newfoundland: July 2-5, 1999


        Festival 500 Sharing the Voices, an international choral festival,
and Memorial University of Newfoundland invite proposals for presentation
at Symposium II. The symposium is an integral academic component of the
Festival 500. Its purpose is to gather together international expertise,
provide a forum for interdisciplinary academic discussion and the
dissemination of research, and generate further knowledge relating to the
phenomenon of singing. The symposium will take place in St. John's,
Newfoundland, Canada from July 2nd to July 5th, 1999 at the School of Music
on the campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland.
        The Symposium II Committee has invited the following plenary
speakers: Dr. Horace Clarence Boyer (Gospel and African American Music), R.
Murray Schafer (Voice: The Original Instrument), Dr. Johan Sundberg
(Singing: From Where Is the Sound and What Controls It?), and Nancy Telfer
(Singers Wearing Lionskins).
        Submissions for consideration should consist of 6 copies of an
abstract of approximately 250 words and should address one of the following
focus areas of singing: cultural, sociological, historical, pedagogical,
compositional and artistic. As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of
Newfoundland's entry into the Canadian confederation, a special theme of
Symposium II will be nationalism.  Presentations should be planned for 20
minutes followed by a brief discussion period. Deadline for abstract
submission is November 1, 1998. Selected papers will be published by the
Symposium. Please include institutional affiliation and e-mail address with
