Call for Papers

The School of Music at Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand, will be hosting the next combined New Zealand and Australia Musicological Societies Conference. The conference will run from Thursday 27 November to Sunday 30 November, 2003.

Proposals are invited for:

1. Individual papers of 20 minutes duration (after each paper, ten minutes  will be allowed for discussion)
2. Sessions involving three or four papers on a specified area, given by different individuals and lasting not more than one-and-a-half hours including discussion
3. Performance seminars of 35 minutes duration that utilise instrumental or vocal performance as a mode of presenting research activity.

Proposals in any area or period of music are welcome.

The organisers anticipate that individual papers (1 above) and some sessions with multiple participants (2 and 3 above) will be presented in two or three simultaneous strands, grouped by subject areas. Those areas will be determined largely by the nature of the proposals received.

Any individual may submit one proposal. Proposals must be submitted as an abstract of not more than 250 words (individual papers), or not more than 350 words (group sessions).

Acceptance of a proposal will be at the discretion of the organisers.

The abstract should be preceded by information under the following headings:
