This symposium brings together scholars and musicians interested in the
contemporary performance of Latin American music composed in the colonial
period, with special emphasis on choral music of the seventeenth and 
eighteenth centuries.  The symposium  will be convened as one of several
inaugural events launching the new Institute for Music in the Americas at
the University of Arizona School of Music and its research center for 
Colonial Latin American Music.  We expect to publish the best of the
proceedings from this symposium.

The symposium focuses primarily upon the following issues:

1.Publication of performance scores -  including consideration of major 
resources, the processes of identifying, evaluating, accessing, and editing>
manuscripts; as well as the mechanics of contemporary publication and
distribution.
2. Matters of performance practice - including consideration of 
interpretation, instrumentation, and vocal distribution, as well as
decisions balancing authenticity with the demands of contemporary
expectations, and values.
3.Recording -  including matters of production, evaluation of existing 
releases, plans for new releases, and strategies appropriate in the age of
digital distribution.
4.Engagement-  including consideration of representation of Latin American
choral music (or related repertoire) in educational programs, curriculum 
development, and civic events.
5.Aesthetics and style studies - including discussions of genre, style, and
reception in regional and international contexts.

Research Team and Symposium organizers:
Janet Sturman, Bruce Chamberlain, John Brobeck, Jay Rosenblatt
