CALL FOR PAPERS
Society for Seventeenth-Century Music
Deadline: October 1

The Society for Seventeenth-Century Music will hold its Thirteenth
Annual Conference on Thursday through Sunday, 14-17 April 2005, at
Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois (see p. __ in this issue).
Proposals on all aspects of seventeenth-century music and its cultural
contexts are welcome, including those drawing on other fields as they
relate to music. Presentations may take a variety of formats, including
individual papers 20 minutes in length, lecture-recitals (45 minutes),
workshops involving group participation, and roundtable discussions. The
Irene Alm Memorial Prize will be awarded for the best scholarly
presentation given by a student.

It is the policy of the Society that a presenter cannot give an
individual paper at two consecutive meetings. For individual papers,
abstracts not exceeding 350 words should clearly represent the title,
subject, and argument, and should indicate the significance of the
findings. Proposals for presentations in other formats should be of a
similar length; they should clearly state and justify the intended
format, and should indicate the originality and significance of the
material to be delivered.

Five copies of the proposal (four anonymous and one identified with
name, address, telephone, fax, and e-mail address), postmarked by 1
October 2004, should be sent to:

Anne MacNeil
Chair, SSCM Program Committee
Department of Music–CB #3320
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3320

Students should identify themselves as such on the non-anonymous copy of
the abstract, and participants in lecture-recitals should attach short
biographies.

Proposals from outside the United States and Canada may be sent by
e-mail to < macneil@email.unc.edu > with the text of the abstract both
pasted into the body of the e-mail and as an attachment in either MSWord
or RTF format or by FAX (one copy only) to (919) 962-3376, with a cover
sheet marked to the attention of Anne MacNeil. Audio or video recordings
supporting proposals for lecture-recitals are welcome but cannot be
returned.
