Call for Papers and Performances: French Music: Performance and Analysis

November 15th—19th, 2007

Brigham Young University-Hawaii

The conference has as general themes the performance and analysis of 
French music. Repertoire is limited to art music of the 19th and 
20th-centuries including foreign-born composers who influenced 
compositional practice over an extended period of time ( e.g. Chopin), 
or composers who relocated to France for a sizeable portion of their 
careers (e.g. the American composer Noël Lee). Because of the unique 
location of the host institution, it also explores the influence of 
Pacific and Asian music(s) on French composers. Ideally, the conference 
is targeted at musicians with an interest in French music and the 
possibility of analysis informing performance; likewise, to those who 
see the potential of performance benefiting analytical understanding.

Format: guidelines

Abstracts of 250 words or less may propose long papers (20 minutes) or 
lecture recitals (45 minutes). Applicants opting for the lecture-recital 
format should also submit a recent, unedited recording along with the 
abstract. The deadline for submission is June 1st, 2007.

Proposals which address one or more of the following areas will be given 
priority consideration by the organizing committee:

* Papers and/or performances which demonstrate clear relationships 
between music(s) of Pacific, Asian and French composers
* The analysis of specific works in which the findings have direct 
relevance to performance
* Lecture-recitals which articulate a musical link between analysis and 
performance
* The derivation of narrative from analytical understanding
* New approaches to analysis through the study of performance
* Editorial practice which considers performance and analysis together
* Interactions between composer and performer
* Performance practice which takes analysis and recordings into account

Evening events

As performance is a central focus of the conference, several evening 
concerts will be offered in the McKay auditorium on the campus of 
BYU-Hawaii. Roy Howat and Wendy Hiscocks will present a duo-piano 
recital which includes Debussy's 'En blanc et noir' and Chabrier's 
'Trois valses romantiques'. Pianist Scott McCarrey will offer a solo 
recital of works by Ravel and Poulenc, this performance to include the 
world premiere of a new piece by Wendy Hiscocks commissioned for the 
conference.
