I would like everyone to know  about a new hypertextual
database in progress.  It deals only with 13th-century
theoretical treatises, but the transcriptions are my own from
the original manuscripts.  Entitled THEMA, its web address
is http://www.uga.edu/~thema (lowercase).  
This project is
an extended part of my 1991 dissertation on 13th-c theory.
I hope you will find the hypertextual aspects intriguing.
THEMA is cross-ref'd to the TML project.  It is a site that
will no doubt remain "under construction" for some time.
Some proofing remains to be done and an abundance of
links to be set up.  Any comments you may wish to make to
contribute to this project will be warmly received and
graciously acknowledged. 

Thank you - Sandra Pinegar

EVENT: "Music of Japan Today III:  Tradition and Innovation"

HOST: Hamilton College
Clinton, NY

DATE: April 5-6, 1997

DESCRIPTION:
CALL FOR PAPERS & LECTURE/RECITALS

Guest composers:  Toshiro Mayuzumi, Harue Kunieda, P.Q. Phan

[web page with further information at:
http://www.hamilton.edu/html/academic/music/erichards/musjapan.htm]

Theme of the symposium:

Western art music has been a part of widespread cultural life for
a relatively short time in Japan.  Much music in Western-style
written by Japanese composers has been created through stylistic
imitation and adaptation of nineteenth-century styles from
Europe.  It is only in the last forty-five years that some
Japanese composers have become more individualistic; concerned
with reflecting philosophical and musical elements from their own
culture, they have begun to discover and develop their own music.
The most successful of this music represents a powerful
cross-fertilization of aesthetics and musical characteristics
from both East and West.  This new Japanese music is reflective
of a variety of aspects of contemporary Japanese society, all of
which are deeply rooted in a national aesthetic, psychology, and
culture that has evolved over many years.

Hamilton College will host a third two-day symposium of
performances, lecture-recitals, panel discussions, and paper
presentations on topics that concern new Japanese music from the
widest possible range of disciplines and expertise.  Two
composers of international stature from Japan will be present at
the symposium, in addition to special guest composer P.Q.  Phan
(Vietnam/US).

Performances during the symposium will include a broad range of
works for different genres (solo instrument, chamber music,
orchestra) by Mayuzumi, Kunieda, and Phan, as well as Toru
Takemitsu, Joji Yuasa, and others.  They will include the
premiere of a new work for orchestra by Kunieda.  The performers
for these concerts will include members of the Syracuse Society
for New Music, and faculty and students of Hamilton College.

Call for papers or lecture/recitals:

Papers -
abstracts of no more than 300 words on any topic relating to the 
theme of the symposium.  The review committee will take special 
interest in proposals that address:

1) music and ideas of the guest  composers.  Interdisciplinary 
topics are welcomed, including (but not limited to) those that 
discuss Mayuzumi's opera *Kinkakuji* (Mishima).

2) concepts of time and space in the cultures and traditional 
arts of Japan from perspectives (any or all) of (but not 
limited to) the following disciplines: Comparative Literature, 
Religion, Japanese Language, Philosophy, History, Asian 
Studies, Theatre, Art History, Architecture, Music.

Lecture/recitals -
30 minutes
cassette tape of performance and short abstract (200 words)

The Review Committee welcomes a cassette tape submission by solo 
performers for a performance of a solo work of Mayuzumi or a 
solo work of Takemitsu (to commemorate his recent death).  
Winners will receive a $250 honorarium and performance 
opportunity at the April 6 concert. (for information about 
availability of scores, please contact E. Michael Richards)

new version of "Realtime Composition Library for MAX" released

This software library for algorithmic composition runs under 
the MAX programming environment (c OPCODE) on a Macintosh. It 
has been uploaded as a self-extracting binary StuffIt archive 
(1.6 MB: freeware) to:


ftp://ftp.ircam.fr/pub/IRCAM/programs/max-patches68k/composition/RTC-lib_2.3
.sea.bin

The RTC-lib is a collection of patches for MAX which offers the possibility
to experiment with a number of compositional techniques, such as serial
procedures, permutations and controlled randomness. Most of these objects
are geared towards straightforward processing of data. By using these
specialized objects together in a patch, programming becomes much more
clear and easy. Many functions that are often useful in algorithmic
composition are provided witthis library - therefore the composer could
concentrate rather on the composition than the programming aspects.

More informations, online documentation and release notes can be found at:
        
http://www.ping.at/users/essl/works/rtc.html

This new distribution comes with several compositional examples which
demonstrate the use of the RTC-Lib with the different multimedia components
of the Macintosh. Please note that all these patches can be played without
any additional hardware, just from the Macintosh itself.
        
* LEXIKON-SONATE (1992 ff.) - vs. 1.4
          interactive realtime composition for computer-controlled piano

          - using MIDI resp. Quicktime GM Synthesizer
        
* LEXICON-ORACLE (1996) - vs. 1.1
          infinite text installation revealing the mysteries of
          "Lexikon-Sonate" - using SpeechManager / PlainTalk
        
* AMAZING MAZE (1996) - vs. 1.5
          interactive realtime composition for sampled sound particles and
          live performer/s - using SoundManager
        
* INTERFERENCES (1996) - vs. 1.0
          interactive realtime composition for percussion sounds
          - using General MIDI Percussion Instruments of Quicktime 2.5

Feminist Theory and Music 4

Charlottesville VA June 5 - 8 1997 

The Program Committee invites proposals for Feminist Theory and
Music 4, an interdisciplinary conference to be held on the
grounds of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA,
June 5-8, 1997. This is the fourth in a series of biannual
conferences on feminist studies of music (Minneapolis, 1991;
Rochester, 1993; Riverside, 1995). 

All proposals that consider music in relation to feminism,
women's studies, gender studies, and lesbian/gay/queer studies
are welcome. There are no restrictions on kinds of music,
approaches and methods, or academic field of the presenter. 

We particularly encourage submissions that highlight one or
more of the following concerns: (1) the relationship of race,
ethnicity and/or class to feminist thinking about music; (2)
the use of ethnomusicological methods for such thinking, or the
implication of feminist theory for ethnomusicological research;
(3) music-making by women in contemporary life, including the
work of living women composers; (4) gender concerns in relation
to avant-garde musics such as electronic music and performance
art. As at previous conferences, we will welcome offerings on
current popular music and the history of European art music.

While we expect that many presentations will take the form of
20-minute scholarly papers, we are open to other uses of the
20-minute time, including presentations that are innovative in
format (for instance, presentations that involve performance,
collaboration, interaction, or forms of discourse that are not
traditional in academic settings). 

Proposals should be at most 250 words, stating the goal or
argument of the presentation, explaining its contribution to
feminist studies of music, and identifying any unusual aspects
of format or presentation. Proposals may be submitted
electronically or in hard copies. We cannot accept proposals by
fax. 

We strongly encourage electronic submission by sending email
to f-t-m4@virginia.edu. Email submissions must be sent by
midnight February 1, 1997. Email submissions should include the
author's name, address, and phone number (these will be deleted
when the message is sent to the Program Committee). Email
submissions will be acknowledged by email reply. 

If you prefer you may submit hard copies by mailing 15 copies
of a 1-page proposal to Fred E. Maus, Feminist Theory and
Music, Department of Music, University of Virginia,
Charlottesville VA 22903. The postmark deadline for submission
of hard copies is February 1, 1997. Enclose a cover letter
giving the author's name, address, and phone number and the
title of the proposal. The proposal itself should not reveal
the author's identity. Enclose a stamped, self-addressed
postcard if you want acknowledgment of receipt. 

We welcome requests that a room and time be set aside for a
study group, meeting of an organization, or other gathering. We
will consider proposals for longer papers, panel discussions,
or "special sessions" devoted to a single topic, though the
possibilities for scheduling such sessions are limited.
Proposals for events other than 20-minute presentations may be
up to 400 words in length and may identify the participants if
appropriate for evaluation of the proposal. Submit
electronically or in hard copies as described above.
