Call for Papers: Gamma-Ut Third Annual Conference

GAMMA-UT 3rd Annual Conference
Call for Papers and Scores
The University of Texas at Austin
Friday and Saturday, March 28-29, 2003

GAMMA-UT, the Graduate Association of Music and Musicians at UT, announces its third annual conference, to be held on Friday and Saturday, March 28-29, 2003, at the University of Texas at Austin. Scholars from the areas of music theory, composition, musicology, and ethnomusicology will meet to share their research, and composers will be presenting their works in a concert to be held the evening of Friday, March 28.

This year’s keynote speaker is Daniel Chua from Kings College London. Dr. Chua’s approach is characterized by his attempt to move music analysis beyond its internal systems into social, political and philosophical issues.

CALL FOR PAPERS
GAMMA-UT is soliciting student papers in the areas of music theory, musicology, and ethnomusicology. Papers may deal with any aspect of music research and analysis, including music outside the canon (nonwestern music, popular music, film music, etc.). Prospective presenters should complete and submit the proposal form found on the GAMMA-UT website at http://gammaut.music.utexas.edu by January 15, 2003. The presentation will have to fit into a thirty-minute time slot; therefore, papers should be about twenty minutes in length, allowing time for a brief introduction and follow-up questions. Applicants will be notified of the program committee's decision via e-mail by February 1, 2003.

CALL FOR SCORES
For the second year GAMMA-UT is announcing a Call for Scores in conjunction with the conference. The concert will be emphasizing interdisciplinary creativity, specifically between the jazz and classical idioms. The instrumentation has been chosen to facilitate this. A composer may submit works for any combination of instruments, while the style of the work could be either jazz, classical, or preferably a combination of the two (for example, a big band chart, a string quartet or a chamber combination of the two would all be possible.) Works that utilize improvisation will be strongly considered; jazz charts, however, would need to have an appropriate amount of composition/arranging in them (more specifically, lead sheets alone will not be considered).

This year the concert will be held on the Friday evening of the conference. The call is for works up to 15 minutes long. The instrumentation composers will be able to choose from is as follows:
Conductor (if needed)
5 Saxes (AATTB with doubles)
Flute
Oboe
Clarinet
Bassoon
4 Trombones (4th - bass)
4 Trumpets
Horn
Tuba
2 Violins
Viola
Violoncello
Piano
Bass (Acoustic or Electric)
Drumset or Percussion

Due to the formation of the GAMMA-UT Ensemble, composers are requested not to bring their own musicians. The GAMMA-UT Composition Committee will serve to select the works and the Chair will serve to schedule rehearsals and conduct any larger works if needed.

The deadline for the submission of scores will be January 15, 2003. Scores may be sent in several formats: either in electronic format (pdf, finale, sibelius) by emailing to gammaut@music.utexas.edu or in hard copy to:

The University of Texas
Rob Deemer
GAMMA-UT Composition Chair
School of Music
1 University Station E3100
Austin, Texas 78712-0435

Recordings of works are greatly appreciated and may be sent in the following formats: mp3 (sent electronically togammaut@mail.music.utexas.edu), CD, cassette, or DAT. Applicants will be notified of the program committee's decision via e-mail by February 1, 2003.

Call for Papers: Society for Music Theory

The Program Committee for the November 2003 meeting of SMT in Madison, Wisconsin, is pleased to announce that Janet Schmalfeldt will present next fall's keynote address.

I would like to take this opportunity to present once again the call for papers for the Madison conference. Note the January 15 postmark deadline as well as other important details below. I would also like to emphasize that the Program Committee welcomes proposals for special sessions and events of unusual format; please contact me at weverett@umich.edu if any questions arise in preparation of proposals.

Society for Music Theory Final 2003 Call for Papers

The 26th Annual Meeting of the Society for Music Theory will be held in Madison, Wisconsin, from Wednesday, November 5, to Sunday, November 9, 2003. Proposals on any topic related to music theory are welcome. Proposals for papers, poster sessions, and special sessions must conform to the following guidelines.

Papers

Submissions for papers must include:

1) A proposal of no more than three pages--including footnotes--double-spaced

and using a 12-point font. Proposals will be read for clarity, originality, and appropriateness for oral presentation. Although there is no single correct format, the Program Committee will look favorably on proposals that include a clear statement of the paper's original contribution to scholarship

in relation to prior research and specific evidence of results, illustrated by musical examples or diagrams where possible. Supplementary materials such as musical examples, diagrams, and bibliographies should be made as concise as possible but will not be counted in the page limit.

2) Seven copies of the proposal must be submitted if sent by post; a single file will suffice if sent electronically (see instructions inder "Additional Guidelines" below). The proposal should include the title of the paper but exclude the author's name and any other identifying information.

3) Two copies of an abstract of approximately 200 words, suitable for pu blication in the conference program. Of the two copies, one should be mailed with the paper proposal and the other sent electronically via e-mail tovlong@uchicago.edu. If the full proposal is submitted electronically, then only one abstract file is needed. The filename of the electronic copy should be <yourlastname.ab.smt>. The Program Committee reserves the right to edit abstracts.

4) A cover letter listing the title of the paper and the name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, as well as the rank and institutional affiliation (if any) of the author. Since cover letters will not be seen by the committee until consideration of the proposals has been completed, do not confine to the cover letter any information essential to the committee's deliberations.

5) A listing, on a separate page, of all required equipment (such as a piano, overhead, CD player, cassette deck, etc.) other than a public-address system, which will be provided to all presenters. The Society cannot provide computers for presentations, but will arrange LCD display and cables if requested in advance. Presenters who need computers should plan to provide their own laptops.

Poster Sessions

Proposals for poster sessions should follow the guidelines for the submission of papers.

Special Sessions

Proposals for special sessions and events of unusual format (such as analysis symposia) are welcomed. New this year: Individual proposals within the special session proposal should follow the guidelines for paper proposals, including the requirement of author's anonymity, with names and identifying information revealed only in the cover letter. In addition, an introductory page should explain why the papers are being submitted as a special session. A cover letter should include all identifying information as given under #4 above. Proposals should be as precise as possible with regard to space and time required, format, and equipment needed. Sessions requiring special equipment or special invited speakers must itemize those requirements and will be accepted contingent on the cost being reasonable. Invited speakers or panelists will be expected to pay a non-member registration fee unless the organizers request a waiver from the Executive Board following acceptance of their session (and before the conference begins).

Note that special sessions must be "special" in that they could not be put together by the program committee. A group of individual papers or presentations on a given topic does not necessarily constitute a special session. Instead, such papers should be proposed separately with a recommendation that, if accepted, they be placed together in an individual session. The program committee reserves the right to consider each paper in a special session proposal as an individual submission and program accordingly, with or without the balance of papers from that proposed session.

Additional guidelines
Papers previously published or presented at other national/international conferences will not be considered. All presenters at an SMT session must either be members of the Society in good standing and register for the conference, pr pay the non-member registration fee. Exceptions to this policy must be requested in advance of the conference, and will be granted only by action of the Executive Board. Most papers will be placed in 45-minute time slots, with about 30 minutes for reading and 15 minutes for response or discussion. The committee may request that favorably received submissions for papers be presented as poster sessions. An individual may submit no more than one paper proposal; however, an individual may present a paper and participate in a special session as chair or respondent only. Submissions may be made either in hard copy or electronically. Electronic submissions are to be made in either MS Word or pdf format and sent as an e-mail attachment to vlong@uchicago.edu. The filename of the electronic copy should be <yourlastname.prop.smt>. Send proposals to

Conference Announcement: Mannes 2003 Institute on Transformational Theory and Analysis

MANNES INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES IN MUSIC THEORY
2003 INSTITUTE ON TRANSFORMATIONAL THEORY AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 21-24, 2003, NEW YORK CITY

Wayne Alpern, Director
www.mannes.edu/mi

The Mannes Institute is a privately supported, nonprofit musical think-tank dedicated to communal investigation at the highest level of inquiry. We offer outstanding scholars around the world a unique opportunity to gather outside of the conventional conference format and learn from each other in a sustained and interactive way. An intensive series of participatory workshops, plenary sessions, and roundtable discussions focuses on a different topic each year under the guidance of experts drawn from the international music community. Prior programs addressed Historical Music Theory and Schenkerian Theory and Analysis, and future topics include Musical Form and Rhythm and Temporality.

The program for the 2003 Mannes Institute on Transformational Theory and Analysis is provided below. All members participate in each plenary session, and enroll in one morning workshop and one afternoon workshop. Application policies and procedures will be posted later this fall on the Institute's website atwww.mannes.edu/mi and announced over the SMT list. The application period begins January 1.

2003 MANNES INSTITUTE PROGRAM

A. Plenary Sessions

1. THE EVOLUTION AND CONTEXT OF TRANSFORMATIONAL THEORY
Panelists: Richard Cohn (moderator), Edward Gollin, Robert Morris

Transformational theory is one of the most important developments in music theory during the last quarter century. Sufficient time has passed to locate it in a broader historical context and assess its significance. What are its origins and evolutionary stages? Is it a "theory" per se, or a set of independent strands in the work of individual theorists? What is its re lationship to the interactive dialogue of contemporary theory? What is the context of transformational analysis in the broader history of music theory? Are there important precursors in tonal or post-tonal theory? What made the state of the discipline ripe for a transformational attitude? How has this theory consolidated, formalized, and generalized proto-transformational aspects of other approaches, and developed a language and a visual code for their representation? In what ways has it influenced and interacted with other methods? What concerns has it addressed—or provoked?

2. TRANSFORMATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS IN SCHOENBERG'S OPUS 23, NO. 3
Speaker: David Lewin

Analytic attention is devoted to various thematic transformations among forms of the piece's basic pentachord, considering which are idiomatic for this work, how these transformations fit together into one system, and what morals (and caveats) can be drawn regarding the methodology of transformational analysis. Some transformations are Ts or Is; others are various contextual inversion operations and their compositions. The point is not so much to find hitherto "undiscovered" pentachord forms, as to find and assert thematic networks of transformations among the manifest pentachord forms. The T/I group, in this case, is the commuting group for the group of contextual transformations, and vice-versa. The two groups each being simply transitive on the 24 pentachord-forms, the composite group is what GMIT calls "PETEY." The group situation is analogous to the T/I group-cum-Schritt/Wechsel group, as regards harmonic triads.

3. THE SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF TRANSFORMATIONAL THEORY
Panelists: Joseph Straus (moderator), Henry Klumpenhouwer, John Roeder

Transformational theory is controversial—even among its advocates. What are its strengths and weaknesses, and its future in our discipline? What are its most useful tools, and how can they most effectively be applied? What do they leave behind or fail to address? Does transformational theory subsume, replace, or supplement other approaches? Is it a unified "theory" at all, one of a handful of mutually exclusive and opposing paradigms, or a general "attitude" compatible with other methods? Are specific repertoires better suited to this approach, or is all music potentially transformational? Is there a problem applying the same tools to different styles and periods? What are the perceptual limitations of transformational theory? Can we hear transformations, or are they essentially conceptual? Is "hearability" an issue? Has transformational theory suffered from excessive abstraction and insufficient application? Is this an esoteric phenomenon confined to a cadre of specialists and rarefied passages of music?

B. Morning Workshops

1. NEO-RIEMANNIAN TRANSFORMATIONS IN PARSIFAL
Instructor: Richard Cohn

The analytic challenge presented by Parsifal served as a significant impetus to Lewin's appropriation and formalization of Riemann's triadic transformations, and Wagner's final opera continues to stimulate new approaches to triadic chromaticism. This workshop serves as an introduction to (and review of) basic neo-Riemannian transformational concepts and tools, and an application to selected passages from Parsifal. Analytical writings on Parsifal from an explicitly neo-Riemannian standpoint help us to trace several stages of the approach's development; other writings on Parsifal help us to position neo-Riemannian theory vis-a-vis Schenkerian and tonal-pitch-space perspectives on late-Romantic repertoires. Participants are expected to be familiar with Parsifal, but no prior experience with neo- Riemannian theory is assumed beyond the preparatory material requested to be studied in advance.

2. THREE TOPICS IN TRANSFORMATIONAL THEORY
Instructor: Robert Morris

I. Precursors of Transformational Theory. How have key issues in the classic formulations of serial and atonal theory been reflected and extended by transformational theory? Discussion and analysis of selected passages by Berg, Carter, Schoenberg, Varese, Webern, Wolpe, and others will center on canonical groups; context sensitive operations; injection function, pc arrays, and implication/realization theories; and graphs, spaces, and Knets. II. IFUNC. A review of the nature and properties of the interval function between two pcsets introduced by Lewin in 1959-60. IFUNC relates to many other branches of atonal theory, and we will use it in the context of other theoretic tools to analyze music by Babbitt, Bartok, Messiaen, Stockhausen, and Stravinsky. III. Transformation Theory and Indian Music. The classical music of the Indian subcontinent is based on raga (melody) and rhythm (tala). We will explore how transformations can highlight crucial phonological and syntactic differences between Western and Indian music via examples and analysis. Participants will receive excerpts on CD along with transcriptions prior to the Institute.

3. VOICE LEADING AND TRANSFORMATION
Instructor: Joseph Straus

Theories of atonal music have generally been better at identifying and comparing harmonies than describing voice leading, the linear connections among harmonies. By shifting our attention from musical objects to the processes by which they can be related, transformational theory has opened up new approaches to this longstanding problem. Much recent work bears on this issue, but the insight that the voice leading between two sets can be understo od as a function that maps each member of one into some member of the other has been particularly fruitful. After a brief survey of other approaches, particularly those derived from Schenker, this workshop focuses on atonal voice leading as transformation, and includes close reading of relevant texts by Lewin, Morris, Roeder, Klumpenhouwer, and Straus. Selected passages from music by Schoenberg, Webern, and Stravinsky provide a testing ground for differing theoretical perspectives.

C. Afternoon Workshops

1. TRANSFORMATIONAL PATHWAYS INTO (POST-)TONAL FRONTIERS
Instructor: Edward Gollin

Numerous works of the early twentieth century defy simple classification into tonal/functional or post-tonal/contextual categories, and consequently often find less than satisfying description through either traditional tonal or set-analytic means. This workshop explores some of the ways transformational approaches can mediate between tonal and set-theoretic views of this music, adopting certain neo-Riemannian attitudes regarding the interrelatedness of structure and function of harmonic materials, but applying these in non-triadic and non-trichordal contexts. The first session introduces the basic techniques of transformational analysis, applying contrasting tonal, set theoretical, and transformational approaches to small works and passages by Scriabin, Schoenberg and Ravel. Later sessions focus upon the application of our hybrid methodologies in the analysis of larger works: Bartok's Suite, Op. 14 and his opera Bluebeard's Castle. No prior experience with transformational analysis is expected.

2. KNET TECHNOLOGY AND INTUITION
Instructor: Henry Klumpenhouwer

This workshop surveys the technological range of Knets and the styles of musical intuition they can represent and extend. The goal throughout is to accommodate those unfamiliar with Knets as well as others more comfortable with their use. The first session is introductory in nature, covering graph and network structure, the inner and outer automorphisms of the T/I group, along with constructs developed more recently. The technical apparatus of Knets is presented in connection with excerpts from works by Schoenberg and Webern. The later sessions explore deeper level Knet relations, examining Knets with special reference to GIS-structure. In particular, Lewin’s discussions of GIS transposition, GIS interval-preserving operations, and GIS inversion will provide the formal framework for extending these deeper level structures.

3. TRANSFORMATIONAL APPROACHES TO CONTEMPORARY MUSIC
Instructor: John Roeder

Although today's music is characterized by diverse compositional styles and techniques—modernist, miminalist, mystic, eclectic-postmodern, spectral, neo-tonal—much of it can be understood transformationally. In this workshop, we will study characteristic works of Part, Carter, Reich, Ades, Torke, and others. Many of these pieces are not organized around twelve tone set-classes, and the transformations in some involve rhythm and not pitch. Our exploration will therefore address some basic issues that confront a budding transformational analyst: What are the analytical objects of interest? What analytical objectives and cognitive constraints should guide the selection of these objects, and of the transformations that relate them? Participants will develop such transformational intuitions, along with a deeper appreciation of some important recent compositions.

Conference Announcement: The Music of Arnold Schoenberg's Middle Period: from Romanticism to Dodecaphony

Yale Summer Programs will again offer a five-week course in Moedling, Austria on the atonal music of Arnold Schoenberg, entitled The Music of Arnold Schoenberg's Middle Period: from Romanticism to Dodecaphony. The instructor is Allen Forte, Yale Department of Music. Dates of the course are June 2 - July 4, 2003.

The course is given in collaboration with the Arnold Schoenberg Center in Vienna, which is the major repository of Schoenberg's sketches and manuscripts, as well as other materials of signal importance to his life. Reasonably priced student housing in Moedling or in Vienna is arranged by the Center, which also obtains concert tickets and provides other assistance. The Vienna concert and opera seasons continue through June, and the many other cultural resources of the city are easily accessible to students.

The class meetings are held in the Arnold Schoenberg Haus in Moedling, where the composer resided from 1918 until 1926. Some student housing is available there, as well as in local residences, including the former Webern Haus, in close proximity to the Schoenberg Haus. Moedling, about 20 minutes from central Vienna by fast train, is a charming small town (founded about 900 A.D), with a rich musical heritage. It was a favored summer residence for Beethoven, and the Hafner house on the Hauptstrasse in which he resided is but a short walk from the Schoenberg Haus.

The format of the course, which is conducted in English, is that of the Yale College seminar. Since the orientation is primarily analytical, participants are expected to have a background in basic tonal music theory and some experience in non-tonal music. One college credit is awarded upon successful completion of the course. Because enrollment is limited, interested persons are encouraged to apply early. Application forms may be obtained by telephoning Yale Summer Programs at 203-432-2430, by fax at 203-432-2434, or from the YSP website:www.yale.edu/summer . For further information, send an email message to allen.forte@yale.edu.
