The Society for New Music announces a Call For Papers for a special
symposium on the topic of music and nature, to be held at Syracuse
University, September 23 and 24, 2006. The symposium will occur in
conjunction with the September 24th premiere performance of acclaimed
composer Robert Morris's multi-media outdoor work in and around the quad
at Syracuse University. The performance will feature the Syracuse
University Symphony Band, Syracuse University Marching Band, members of
the Syracuse University Orchestra, Syracuse Children's Choir, an area
High School choir, Syracuse University organist Christopher Marks,
members of Open Hand Theatre and the Society for New Music chamber
ensemble. The Syracuse University carillon atop Crouse College will
serve as conductor.
The relationship between music and nature has long been a favorite
subject of Morris's, stemming from his time spent hiking in natural
surroundings and his interests in non-western religion, philosophy and
aesthetics. His experiences echo those of many other composers
throughout history, such as Beethoven, Bartok, Ives, Messiaen, Cage, the
British impressionists, Stockhausen, R. Murray Schafer and others, who
have forged deep connections between music and nature. Their musical
endeavors have attracted the attention of numerous scholars, ranging
from musicologists and music theorists to those interested in the
philosophy of biology and ecology. This symposium hopes to add to this
growing dialogue. As such, we welcome paper and panel submissions that
deal with any aspect of music and nature, and especially the following
areas:
- Music/Philosophy
- Music/Nature
- Music/Ecology
- Music/Physics
- Music/Religion (Shinto, Taoism, Buddhism, etc.)
Paper abstracts should be no more than 250 words. Please send
submissions to the symposium program chair, Theo Cateforis
(tpcatefo em syr.edu). Email submissions are strongly encouraged. However,
those preferring to submit by ground mail may send their abstracts to
Theo Cateforis, Department of Fine Arts, 308 Bowne Hall, Syracuse
University, Syracuse, NY 13244-1200. The submission deadline is June 1,
2006.
For more information, please contact Theo Cateforis or visit the Society
for New Music's website (www.societyfornewmusic.org).
