2008 SSCM Conference in Pasadena:  Call for Papers

       The Society for Seventeenth-Century Music will hold its Sixteenth
Annual Conference on Thursday through Sunday, 17-20 April 2008, in Pasadena
(San Marino), CA, at the Huntington Library (hosted by the University of
Southern California). Proposals on all aspects of seventeenth-century music
and its cultural contexts are welcome, particularly 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, roundtable
discussions, and panel sessions.  The Irene Alm Memorial Prize will be
awarded for the best scholarly presentation given by a student.
       It is the policy of the Society to accept proposals only from
members in good standing. A presenter cannot give an individual paper at two
consecutive meetings, nor make more than one presentation at a single
meeting.  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.
       Proposals should be sent by e-mail (deadline: midnight, October 1)
to the Program Chair, Claire Fontijn, at cfontijn at wellesley.edu. The e-mail
should carry two attachments in Microsoft Word. The first (labeled
"anonymous submission") should include only title and abstract; the second
(labeled with name and short title) should contain name, address, telephone,
fax, e-mail address, and institutional affiliation or city, along with
contact information. The latter should also be pasted into the body of the
e-mail in case of transmission problems.
       Students should identify themselves as such on the non-anonymous
copy of the abstract, and those proposing lecture-recitals should attach
short biographies.  Please include audio-visual needs. Audio or video
recordings supporting proposals for lecture-recitals are required; we regret
that they cannot be returned.
