Syracuse University Library and the SU Humanities Center, along with their
partners in the Central New York Humanities Corridor (Colgate University,
Cornell University, Hamilton College, Syracuse University, and the
University of Rochester), will award four visiting scholar grants of $2,500
each in 2012 to support research at two or more Corridor institutions. This
program¹s primary goal is to attract national and international attention to
Central New York¹s primary source collections. Applicants, therefore, need
not be based at a Corridor institution. Similarly, projects need not focus
on central or upstate New York topics, but rather draw upon shared
collection strengths of Corridor institution libraries. These strengths
are very wide ranging, but members of the AMS may be particularly
interested in:

Archival Sound (Belfer Audio Archive, Hip Hop Collection, Sibley Music Library)
Gender and Sexuality (Human Sexuality Collection, Grove Press Records, Suffrage
Collections)
Popular Culture (Dime Novels, Pulp Magazines, Children¹s Literature, War
Posters)
Post-colonialism & Ethnic Studies, in particular Native American Studies

For more details about the grant program (including application
guidelines), please visit the Special Collections Research Collection

The AMS Directory for 2012 is in preparation, and we'd like to include
advertising for musicology programs, publishers, and other items of interest.

The Directory reaches the entire membership, and is a useful vehicle for
advertising, since it is used throughout the year by AMS members. Last year,
more than twenty universities and publishing companies advertised in the
Directory.

The rates are reasonable: half-page ads start at $150.

See http://www.ams-net.org/AMS_Directory_Advertising_2012.pdf for full details.

Deadline: 2 April.

Please let me know if questions arise.

You are invited to participate in the 2012 Early Music Scholars
Competition ( http://www.chaliceconsort.org/emsc.html) which is
hosted by Chalice Consort (www.chaliceconsort.org). The winners of
this competition will be recognized at the Chalice Consort Early
Music Conference (CCEMC, formerly called Early Music Mining
Conference - http://www.chaliceconsort.org/ccemc.html) in San
Francisco on April 14, 2012.

The Early Music Scholars Competition (EMSC) is a competition
presented by Chalice Consort to foster the discovery and
reconstruction of early music choral scores.

Chalice Consort is honored by the participation of our distinguished
Panel at the CCEMC including early music specialists and Artistic
Director of Chalice Consort, Davitt Moroney (UC Berkeley); David
Trendell (King's College, London), Jeremy Summerly (Royal Academy of
Music, London), Kerry McCarthy (Duke University) and Peter Poulos
(University of Cincinnati).
Each scholar participating in this competition is asked to submit
his/her editorial work of reconstruction of incomplete work (at least
one voice part is missing) or a piece that is unpublished (either
online or offline in modern edition), has never been publicly
performed, and that complements the focal piece of the subsequent
Chalice Consort Early Music Conference (CCEMC)
(http://www.chaliceconsort.org/ccemc.html): Reges Tharsis by the
16th-century John Sheppard (c.1548-1611). From the submissions
received, up to five pieces will be presented at the CCEMC, and from
those, one will be selected for performance by Chalice Consort at a
future concert.

At the conference, there will be a moderated discussion by the panel
of early music specialists and directors after each piece has been
sung. The presenting scholars will be invited to discuss their
submitted piece and their editorial work at the conference. If you
are unable to attend the conference in person, you will be able to
submit a 20-mins video of your editorial work and argument as to why
your piece should be the winning piece.

The attendees of the conference will vote for their favorite piece to
be performed by Chalice Consort at a future concert.

For further information:
http://www.act.uni-bayreuth.de/resources/CfA_Ars_Acustica.pdf
Also please follow us on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Act.ZfMuP

Sound art, sound installation, performance art, audio plays (Hörstücke), modern
radio drama (Neues Hörspiel), concrete poetry, and visual art & music – all have
in common a claim to art that comes not only from the structure of an individual
sub-area, but also from the mixing and intermingling of different arts. As the
focus of our next issue, we would like to explore the question of the
performativity of these different forms and genres. We therefore invite
contributions that shed light on these subjects in terms of their performance
situation.
We warmly welcome all authors who are interested in the issue to send their
articles for consideration. Editorially-supported languages are German, English,
French, and Italian.

In addition to scholars from different disciplines we would also like to invite
composers, musicians, and artists to express their views through reflections on
their own art or the art of others.

The contributions should not exceed 45,000 characters in length (including
spaces). The deadline for articles is 15 June 2012. Please send in submissions
by e-mail to act at uni-bayreuth.de

On behalf of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Paris, I am pleased to announce the
formation of the Messiaen-Trinity Great Organ Association. The association aims
to contribute to the widespread renown of the gallery organ at the Trinity
Church, Paris, which has been officially recognized as a National Historic
Monument. The Association also desires to promote the knowledge and performance
of the music of Olivier Messiaen.

The Association's main goals are:

(1) To organize cultural events involving this organ,

(2) To support contemporary composers and musicians in the creation and
performance of new works for organ, thereby honoring Messiaen's own dedication
to the encouragement of emerging talents, and

(3) To raise funds and attract patrons in order to finance the maintenance of
the gallery organ at the Trinity Church.

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

WORKSHOP CHINESE INSTRUMENTS AND WESTERN MUSEUMS
LEIDEN, THE NETHERLANDS, 13-16 SEPT 2012

From 13 to 16 September 2012 the CHIME Foundation and Leiden University in The
Netherlands will host a workshop on the topic of Chinese Instruments and Western
Museums. The aim is to share and exchange information in the realm of Chinese
musical instruments, in an open, informal atmosphere. The meeting should be of
interest to museum curators and others who work with instrument collections, and
scholars active in the realm of Chinese instruments and instrumental music.

The meeting takes place in the wake of the initiation of the MIMO project
(Musical Instrument Museums Online) which was started in September 2011. MIMO
opened a public online access point to the musical instruments catalogues of the
project’s affiliated museums in Europe (http://www.mimo-international.com/).
This massive body of information will serve as a useful resource for the study
of world music cultures. The database will hopefully benefit a wide group of
users, including the source communities, music and creative industries and the
general public. The MIMO project raises important issues related to music
research, such as the relationship between academic study and the public
exhibition of musical instrument collections, as well as the links between
specific instrument collections in European museums, and how these items can
continuously reshape the understanding of musical pasts and can open potential
possibilities for future musical practices.

To facilitate exchange between museum curators and academic researchers, the CMA
(Chinese Music Archive) of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the CHIME
Foundation in Leiden (European Foundation for Chinese Music Research) and Leiden
University jointly organize the upcoming meeting in Leiden, which will feature
individual papers, practical demonstrations, discussions, films and some
performances. Museum curators, academic researchers and independent scholars are
invited to submit proposals on, but not limited to, the following topics:

1.  The relationship between Chinese musical instruments and European museums

2.  Biographies of individual Chinese musical instruments and/or a special
collection of Chinese instruments currently housed at European museums

3.  Chinese musical instruments within and beyond museum display

4.  Potential collaborative research and database creation projects

5.  Chinese musical instruments and European (post)colonialism
  The languages of the meeting will be English and Chinese. Please submit your
abstract proposal for 20- to 30-minute presentations in English (max. 350 words)
to   ciwm2012 at gmail.com  on or before 15 April 2012. There are possibilities
for early acceptance of papers for those who need to rely on this for grant
applications (please indicate need for urgent reply when you submit your
abstract). The final result of our selection will be announced by 30 April 2012.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact the organizers, Tsai Tsanhuang
(thtsai at mac.com) and/or Frank Kouwenhoven (chime at wxs.nl).

"Music: Cognition, Technology, Society"
May 11-13, 2012
Cornell University, Ithaca, New York

Technology plays a crucial role across a broad spectrum of sonic
activity, offering new cognitive frameworks and reshaping social
networks in ways that challenge the conventional binary of the
individual subject versus the collective. It mediates performance and
listening, provides new modes of analysis, and inspires musical
creation. This interdisciplinary conference seeks to explore the nexus
of social, cultural, and political issues in and around music,
cognition, and technology.

Keynotes will be given by Eric Clarke (University of Oxford), Ichiro
Fujinaga (McGill University) and Robert Gjerdingen (Northwestern
University). The guest composer will be Tod Machover (Massachusetts
Institute of Technology).

SYMPOSIUM:

Spanish musics and their [Western] Others: Negotiating identity and exoticism

Friday 7 – Saturday 8 December 2012

The University of Melbourne, Australia

Western Music and entertainment have drawn on features of Spanish music and
dance since at least the Napoleonic wars. In turn, constructions of musical
exoticism based on Hispanic tropes have informed different manifestations of
Spanish musical nationalism, as well as regional and popular musics of Spain.
These “Spanish” musical identities have evolved and been reconfigured according
to the dictates of competing cultural, political and social factors, yet Spain’s
unique position and its enactment of cultural identity cannot easily be
reconciled within current narratives of musical nationalism and exoticism.

Papers are invited that examine Spanish musical identity, engage with Western
evocations of Spanish music, or explore such repertories in relation to
constructions of nationalism and exoticism since 1800.

Papers may address repertories or issues relating to one of the following areas
(or others related to the conference theme):
Western art music
Dance and theatrical spectacle
National and regional musics
Popular musics
Flamenco
Music and film

Please submit an abstract of not more than 250 words, with a brief biographical
note, to Michael Christoforidis, by emailing  mchri at unimelb.edu.au

by Monday 30 April 2012

Paper-givers will be notified by the mid-May, but if you need earlier
notification, please indicate this in your submission.

There will be a publication of refereed proceedings.

Accommodation (2 nights) will be provided for international presenters.
