CALL for PAPERS

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, Westhill 
High School Chamber Singers, 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).
