CFP: Fall Meeting, AMS Capital Chapter	

Abstracts are being accepted for the Fall Meeting of the Capital
Chapter of the American Musicological Society, which is being held on
Saturday 29 September at the University of Maryland, College Park.
Please submit abstracts of no more than 500 words to Andrew H. Weaver,
chair of the Chapter, via email at weavera at cua.edu, preferably as
an attachment in Microsoft Word.  The deadline for abstracts is
Wednesday 12 September.

This year's meeting will feature a keynote address by Deborah
Schwartz-Kates, Associate Professor and Chair of the Musicology
Department at the University of Miami, entitled "Ginastera in
Washington: Correspondence with Copland, Seeger, and Spivacke at the
Library of Congress."  In honor of our guest speaker, the afternoon
session will be devoted to Ibero-American music and will conclude with
a roundtable discussion entitled "Interdisciplinary Approaches to
Ibero-American Music."  We therefore invite paper proposals on any
aspect of Ibero-American music to be considered for the afternoon
session.  We also, of course, invite paper proposals on any topic for
our morning sessions.

Following AMS guidelines, papers should not exceed 30 minutes.  The
abstract should summarize the argument and line of reasoning to be
presented in the paper and explain how the research findings
contribute to or change current scholarly thinking.

The AMS Capital Chapter encompasses the District of Columbia,
Maryland, and parts of Virginia and West Virginia.  However, members
of the American Musicological Society who live outside the
geographical boundaries of the Chapter can submit papers for our
meetings provided that they also submit an application for Chapter
membership and pay dues before they present at the meeting.  More
information about membership is available on the Chapter website:
