medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
The Royal Musical Association Med-Ren Music Conference
Glasgow Thursday 15 -- Sunday 18 July 2004
CALL FOR PAPERS
Submission deadline: Friday 31 January 2004
The 2004 annual Med-Ren music conference takes place in Glasgow from 15 to
18 July, promoted jointly by the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama
and the University of Glasgow, in association with the Scottish Chapter of
the Royal Musical Association. The conference takes place concurrently
with the 2004 Congress of the New Chaucer Society at the University of
Glasgow.
The Programming Committee welcomes proposals for papers, formal and poster
sessions, panel discussions and performance presentations relating to all
aspects of medieval and Renaissance music. Suggested themes include:
* Cognition and Memory, untheorized aspects of med-ren music
* Musical borrowings, contrafacta, anonymous music
* Links to Chaucer and his literary contemporaries & Scottish (Celtic)
topics, including source materials at Glasgow University and other
Scottish Libraries (prompt-lists for both on these on request!)
However, the committee will prioritise proposals for the presentation of
research findings judged to be new and significant, whatever their theme.
It is also keen to encourage submissions with an international or
inter-disciplinary dimension, and from younger participants.
Proposals for individual papers should take the form of a 250-word
abstract indicating the specific research findings to be presented and
their significance, the duration of the presentation (maximum 20 minutes,
shorter presentations welcome), and equipment required. Proposals for
whole sessions should include abstracts for constituent papers (max 20
minutes) and rationale for the session as a whole. Organisers of panel
sessions should indicate the issue to be aired and why it is of current
interest, list names of participants, and indicate duration (maximum 90
minutes). Proposals for performance sessions (duration 20 to 60 minutes)
should give similar information and list musical items. Proposals for
papers or for notes and queries we can pre-publish on the web for
discussion at the conference will also be welcome.
Submissions should be sent as email text (please do not send attachments)
to Warwick Edwards at the address below to arrive as soon as possible and
no later than Friday 31 January 2004. The programme will be announced by
Monday 15 March. Please note that we hope to avoid, as far as possible,
the scheduling of parallel sessions at the conference. This inevitably
means limiting the number of traditional 20-minute presentations we can
accept. However, we'll endeavour to be flexibile about this.
