> In early 2004, the Répertoire International de Littérature Musicale (RILM)
will publish the volume Speaking of Music: Music Conferences from 1835 to
1966, which will provide a fascinating window on the intellectual history of
music scholarship. The volume guides readers through papers on music
presented at some 500 international conferences, bringing to light a variety
of trends and ideas in musicological and ethnomusicological inquiry from the
heyday of Romanticism through the dawn of modernism to the multicultural and
multidisciplinary movements of the mid-20th century. This volume,
chronicling 130 years of music scholarship's intellectual history, will
provide a starting point for the conference, which aims to assess changing
attitudes and viewpoints in writings on music from antiquity to the present
day.
>
> Proposals are invited for papers on the following topics:
>
> * The attitudes of writers toward music history in antiquity, the Middle
Ages, and the Renaissance
> * The founders of modern music scholarship: Historians of the 18th and
19th centuries
> * Music scholarship and its parallels with histories of other humanistic
disciplines (art history, anthropology, literary criticism, history, etc.)
> * (Re)writing music history in the postcolonial and post-communist world
> * New musicology
> * Ethnomusicology and musicology in the Americas
> * Relating the present to the past: From studies of musical folklore to
modern ethnomusicology
> * Reference books as a mirror of national music histories. How objective
and balanced are these (self-)portraits of national music histories in
general encyclopedias, and how do they change through successive editions?
> * What can reference works from the past tell us about the reception
history of composers? Why are composers' biographies being rewritten?
>
> Abstracts of 200-300 words may be submitted before 29 February 2004 to:
