Celebrating the 200th anniversary of the publication of _Waverley_, the Lyrica Society is sponsoring a session on the interconnection between the works of Sir Walter Scott and music at the 2014 Modern Language Association convention. And the connection is great. Scott's works were the basis for countless operas (the most famous of which is _Lucia di Lammermoor_) and musical theatre pieces, as well as texts for many songs.
The MLA conference will take in Chicago from January 9th through 12th, 2014.
We invite 250-350 word proposals by March 1st, 2013 on any aspect of Scott and music. Send them to DrJSDailey at aol.com, and put "Scott MLA 2014" in the subject line.

Call for Papers
Symposium on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th March, 2013
Benjamin Britten’s centenary is being celebrated world-wide in the year 2013. This anniversary is particularly pertinent to us, as East Anglia was Britten’s place of residence for the main part of his life, as well as the fact that he was the chief advisor to the founding of the School of Music at UEA. Moreover, 2013 is also UEA’s own 50th Anniversary.
To celebrate such an important year, we are launching a series of events running from November 2012 to March 2013. The events will include performances of a number of Britten’s compositions: Double Concerto for Violin & Viola (soloists: Simon Smith & Paul Silverthorne), Spring Symphony, Sword in the Stone (a new dramatised version) and Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings.Full details can be found at www.uea.ac.uk/mus/musicevents
In addition to these, we are organising a two-day symposium on Friday 8th March 2013 & Saturday 9th March 2013. The keynote speaker will be Prof. Arnold Whittall. We would like to invite all scholars interested in any of the following subjects/themes to offer papers of 20-30 minutes (with 10-15 minutes question time):
- Research on any aspect of the works we are performing through the season as mentioned above;
- Britten and music for children;
- Britten and education;
- Britten the Performer (a session to include live performance is welcomed);
- Britten the ‘entrepreneur’;
- Britten and his legacy.
These themes can be interpreted as generally as desired, including analyses of specific works as well as short live performances. There will also be a panel discussion on the general theme of Britten and his influence; scholars are also invited to contribute to this session, to be led by Prof. Arnold Whittall and Dr. Sharon Choa.
The symposium will coincide with one of our performances of Sword in the Stone, participants and delegates are encouraged to attend the evening performance on Friday 8th March 2013 at the UEA Drama Studio.

JAM 2013: The Body and the Digital - Call for papers
Journeys Across Media
The Body and The Digital
Friday 19th April 2013, University of Reading
2013 will mark the 11th anniversary of the annual Journeys Across Media (JAM) Conference for postgraduate students, organised by postgraduates working in the Department of Film, Theatre & Television at the University of Reading. JAM 2013 seeks to focus on and foster current research relating to the Body and the Digital, as today they are interactive and interdependent facets in the media of film, theatre and television; and more widely, in the areas of performance and art. It is a relationship which continues to develop and redefine cinematic, televisual and theatrical practices.
French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty once stated: “The body is our general medium for having a world.” Today, the world of live and screened performance are perceived and received differently, due to the body’s relationship with the digital. Approaches and practices of phenomenology, embodiment, the haptic and the experiential are being re-examined as they continue to encounter digital culture in new ways. Representations and experiences of embodiment are often integral dynamics of theatre, television, film and television, and are preoccupations that can be explored through diverse media or digital influences.
This is a call for postgraduates engaging in contemporary discourses and practices relating to the Body and the Digital, to submit papers or practice-based research for the JAM 2013 Conference. Topics may include, but are not restricted to:
-Interactivity between Digital languages and the Body
-Sonic Representations of the Body in Digital Performance
-The Digitized Body in Performance
-The Role of the Body in Digital Games and Virtual Performance
-Post-Colonial Bodies in the Contemporary Moment
-Preparing the Body for Performance
-Notions of Embodiment (i.e. Violent, Disabled, Explicit)
-Traditions of Corporeally focused Film, Theatre and Television
-Embodied Spectatorship or Audiences, and Physicality
-Phenomenology of the Lived, Performed and Screened Body
-The Haunted Body
-Politics of the Body
-Unconventional and Other Bodies
The body, its presence, perceptions and experience, are becoming increasingly underpinned and influenced by the digital age. JAM 2013 will endeavour to open a dialogue about the relationship between the body and digital in contemporary scholarship and practice, posing many questions including: How does the body encounter digital media and how do digital media frames position the body – both in mainstream iterations, social media contexts and in art/installation/performance contexts? Furthermore, it will also be worth considering how digital technology has affected the way that humans approach unfamiliar body movement traditions, beyond regional and national borders?
JAM 2013 will provide a discussion forum for current and developing research in film, theatre, television and new media. Previous delegates have welcomed this opportunity to gain experience of presenting their work at different stages of their development, while having the opportunity to meet and form contacts with fellow postgraduate students. Furthermore, participants at JAM 2013 have the possibility of being published in the Journal of Media Practice.
Non-Presenting delegates are also very welcome to attend this conference.
CALL FOR PAPERS deadline: 1st February 2013
Please send a 250-word abstract for a fifteen minute paper and a 50-word biographical note to Johnmichael Rossi, Gary Cassidy, Edina Husanovic, Shelly Quirk, Matthew McFrederick at jam2013@pgr.reading.ac.uk .
CALL FOR PRACTICE-BASED WORK deadline: 1st February 2013
Continuing from the success of last year's JAM 2012 Conference: Time Tells, which experimented with conference structure to include live performances, film screenings and installations taking place throughout the day, we invite artists working in various mediums to propose presentations of their work, relevant to the conference theme. Please send a 250-word outline describing the piece you are proposing to present, as well as duration and any specific technical/space requirements, and a 50-word biographical note. Relevant images and links to your work would also be helpful. As outlined above please e-mail the Conference organisers at jam2013@pgr.reading.ac.uk.
We would appreciate the distribution of this call for papers and wider promotion of this conference through your networks. Journeys Across Media is supported by the Department of Film, Theatre & Television at Reading and the Standing Conference of University Drama Departments.

CFP: Music and Sound Studies Network of the German Studies Association
German Studies Association
3-6 October 2013, Denver
DEADLINE: 15 JANUARY 2013
The Music and Studies Network of the GSA seeks proposals for a four-part series of panels, followed by a roundtable with invited speakers:
1. Music and Sound Studies: Public
2. Music and Sound Studies: Private
3. Music and Sound Studies: Politics
4. Music and Sound Studies: Consumption
We welcome proposals on any aspect of music or sound studies and Germanic cultures, from any time period, in relation to one of these categories. Proposals should indicate the panel for which they are applying. We are particularly interested in scholarship that investigates how musics and/or sounds are determined by, respond to, engage with, and shape the spaces and spheres in which they occur; that which explores the purposes for which music and sound are deployed; and that which studies the processes of experience and consumption.
We construe these categories (Public, Private, Politics, and Consumption) broadly, not prescriptively. "Public," for example, could include the study of nineteenth-century community bands, the Love Parade, concert programming, or the acoustics of performance spaces; "Private" might refer to salon culture, the philosophy of aurality, the monastic life, or the silence between radio programs; "Politics" could pertain to the function of music/sound as political instrument or a tool of subversion, and is not limited to the realm of high politics; and "Consumption" might involve the analysis of record collection, urban industrial sounds, or television jingles.
A roundtable discussion toward the end of the GSA will feature scholars able to comment on the four panels and larger issues of Music and Sound Studies.
Proposals must identify the desired panel (public, private, politics, or consumption)
Because the GSA has regulations governing the number of graduate students who may appear on any given panel, proposals must include the author's status (graduate student, faculty member, etc)
Presenters must be members of the German Studies Association. Information on membership is available on the GSA website in the Member Services Section
Abstracts of 200 words are due to both network coordinators by 15 January 2013

With Four Hands: Music for Two Pianists CfP
WITH FOUR HANDS: MUSIC FOR TWO PIANISTS
an International Conference
organised by IMR and Middlesex University
in association with the
AHRC Research Centre for Musical Performance as Creative Practice
VENUE: Senate House
DATE: 17-18 June 2013
Music for two pianists covers a wide aesthetic and sociological arena representing both the epitome of amateur, domestic music-making in the bourgeois home through piano duets during the nineteenth century and the very heights of virtuosity in piano duos during the twentieth century. Technically, aesthetically and sociologically the practice of performance by two pianists, on one or two pianos, represents a unique kind of collaboration that can simultaneously define and challenge the boundaries and meanings of chamber music both as repertoire and in terms of relevant performance practices. Although some research has been done on the psychological mechanisms involved in the rehearsal and practice processes of two pianists, many issues relating to the theory and practice of piano duos and duets remain under-researched. This conference aims to bring together researchers, performers, and artist-researchers working on the historical, theoretical and performative aspects of music that involve two pianists. Proposals (300 words) for individual papers (20 minutes, with 10 minutes discussion), lecture-recitals and performances/demonstrations (30 minutes, with 15 minutes discussion), or workshops (45 minutes) are invited on the following topics:
• The historical origins and development of music for two keyboard players
• Historical and contemporary repertoire for two pianists
• Canonic works
• Transcriptions, arrangements and paraphrases for two pianists
• Sociology of music for two pianists
• Performance practice of piano duos and piano duets
• Duo pianists and their careers
• Recordings and recording history of music for two pianos
• Aesthetics of music for two pianists
• Significance of the genre as a cultural phenomenon
• Piano duo and piano duet as chamber music
• Two pianos in larger ensembles
• Music for two pianos in historical and contemporary concert prrgrammes
• Compositional issues in relation to music for two pianists
• The future of music for two pianists
DEADLINE for proposals: 5pm (GMT), Friday, 15 February 2013

CfP Creative teaching for creative learning in higher academic music education
On Monday 13 May 2013 the Music Department at the University of York will be hosting a seminar day funded by The Higher Education Academy as part of their discipline workshop and seminar series, entitled:
Creative teaching for creative learning in higher academic music education
Creativity and creative skills are recognised as key attributes for music students. This event will bring together higher music education colleagues to learn about, share and discuss their experiences of teaching creatively to facilitate creative learning, focusing on the processes and techniques of creative teaching, particularly those connected to academic, rather than practical learning.
The event will:
- explore and explain how lecturers conceptualise creativity;
- demonstrate how music lecturers construct their academic teaching to develop creative skills in students;
- provide significant insights into our understanding of the intersection of creative teaching and creative learning.
The seminar will explore creative teaching in higher music learning focusing on academic (rather than practical) areas, although there will inevitably be some overlap as practical work and composition will be discussed within the parameters of academic teaching. The event will feature presentations from 1) Keynote speaker (Dr Pamela Burnard, Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge); 2) Invited speakers working in higher music education; 3) A reflective student feedback session.
Call for papers
Proposals of no more than 200 words are invited for consideration for 20-minute spoken papers (each to be followed by 10 minutes for questions and discussion). Please provide your name, email address, institution and title of paper, and send proposals to Liz Haddon, Research Fellow, Music Department, University of York, Heslington, York YO10 5DD or email liz.haddon@york.ac.uk by 1st February 2013.
