[Announcements for the AMS]

DONALD TOVEY MEMORIAL PRIZE

The Board of the Faculty of Music at the University of Oxford proposes to
award the Donald Tovey Memorial Prize in Trinity Term 2009.

The prize (which will be of the value of £2,000 but may be augmented should
the need arise, at the discretion of the Board) is open to men and women
without regard to nationality, age, or membership of a university. It may be
awarded either:

(a) to assist in the furtherance of research in the philosophy, history, or
understanding of music. In this case, candidates must satisfy the judges
that their programme of research lies within this field, and should provide:
a brief statement of proposed research; two testimonials; and two examples
of original work (essays, articles, book chapters, etc., whether published
or not) which demonstrate their fitness to undertake it. Nine-tenths of the
prize-money will be paid to the prize-winner at the time of the award, and
the remaining one-tenth on approval by the judges of a brief report
indicating fulfilment of the programme; or

(b) to assist in the publication of a work already completed in one of the
subjects mentioned above. In this case, candidates should submit one copy of
the work concerned and explain why the prize is needed in order to ensure
publication.

In either case, it is hoped that the prize-winner will agree to deliver a
lecture in the Faculty of Music disseminating the findings of the research.

Entries, which should include a list of the expenses associated with the
project for which the prize is sought, must reach the Faculty Administrator
and Board Secretary, University of Oxford, Faculty of Music, St Aldate’s,
Oxford OX1 1DB, no later than Friday 12 June 2009.
