CALL FOR PAPERS AND PROPOSALS

Each year the Musicological Society of Australia Inc. hosts a National

fields by national and international researchers. In 2006, the 29th
National Conference of the MSA will be held in Armidale, at the
University of New England, Australia from 27th September to 1st

University of New England, which is the oldest regional university in
Australia. The 2006 National Conference of the Musicological Society of
Australia explores the role that music plays in defining traditions and
cultures at a local and regional level. Highlights of the conference
will include pre-1600 Western music, Indigenous music, South-East Asian
and Pacific music, Australian music, and post-1970 music studies (both
popular and art music).

roundtables are invited on one or more of the following themes:

1. Music and identity in local/regional practices as distinctive
features in old and new music;
