CALL FOR PAPERS
Submission Deadline: February 27, 2009

>From bawdy troubadour songs to Haydn's string quartets, from comic
opera to Monty Python sketches, music has been used as a vehicle for
comedic expression in vastly different settings and for various
purposes. Humor can rear its head in unexpected places, but is largely
ignored by music scholarship. The dynamic between composers,
performers and audience members is perpetually shifting, creating
myriad possibilities for humor, intentional or otherwise. There are
many possible avenues of inquiry on this issue, including
investigations of irony, parody, satire, camp, puns, and other perhaps
less tasteful forms of comic relief. We invite you to join us in
opening new dialogues on the sonic culture of mirth and musical
merriment. Bring a friend!

With joyfulness and glee, ECHO: A Music-Centered Journal is pleased to
announce its fourth annual conference, "Music and Humor," to be held
at UCLA on June 5-6, 2009. Scholars from all disciplines are invited
to submit proposals for papers on this theme. Proposals for
pre-arranged panels of two or three papers are also welcome, (although
individual papers from panel submissions might be selected
separately). Papers will each be twenty minutes long (around 2400
words) followed by ten minutes for discussion.

Individual presenters should submit an abstract of 300 words or less,
and should also include: 1) the paper title; 2) the author's name and
a brief biography (50-100 words); 3) institutional affiliation and
contact information; 4) audio-visual requirements. Panel chairs should
include all of the above for each member of the panel, as well as a
separate, more general description of the panel's overall theme
(200-250 words). Submissions must be received by February 27th and may
be sent electronically to echoconf em ucla.edu (please put "Echo
Conference Submission" and your last name in the subject line). Files
must be saved in .doc format, and must include your last name in the
file name.

Alternatively, print submissions may be sent to:
