International Conference: Across Labels: Genres of Music Theatre
What are the differences between an opera and a lyrical drama? Or from an operetta and a zarzuela? Is Fidelio just a singspiel or Curro Vargas a zarzuela? And within género chico, where can we trace the boundaries between sainete and revista? Are they distinct enough to categorize them as independent genres? Many of these questions have never been properly addressed, in part owing to the scholarly tendency to focus on distinct genres, periods or styles, making it difficult to identify continuities that remain through centuries or frontiers. Certain aesthetic prejudices discriminate genres regarded as entertainment (operetta, salon music) against others purportedly more elevated (opera, symphony) even when they share common characteristics. The various denominations, often used as mere classification labels, decisively condition academic research as well as the access to cultural products. Therefore, it appears to be necessary to discuss the constrains generated by concepts of “genre”, particularly in relation with theatrical music.
Keynote Speakers
Tim Carter (University of North Carolina)
Valeria De Lucca (University of Southampton)
Juan José Carreras (Universidad de Zaragoza)
Call for proposals
The conference will accept paper proposals related to terminology, intertextuality, intersections and divergences between genres, encouraging perspectives beyond terminological, national and chronological limits.
The Program Committee encourages submissions within the following areas:
- Lexicography, terminological controversies and proposals for new classification.
- Synchronic and diachronic intertextuality among different genres.
- Overlapping and interaction of literary and musical features. Consequences in the configuration of drama.
- Cultural assimilation of theatrical genres and convergence of different dramatic traditions.
- Analysis of the key points in the dramatic configuration: common elements for the creation of dramatic expectations.
- Theatrical genres from Madrid: musical map of the city, musical environments beyond the theatre and intersections.
Two documents should be sent to across.labels@gmail.com:
1. .doc or .rtf document with the title and abstract of the proposal (200-250 words), without the name of the author. It is important to avoid information that could identify the author.
2. .doc or .rtf document with the title of the proposal, personal information, brief biography (200-300 words) and audiovisual media or other technical requirements.
Deadlines
- Proposal should be received before 15 November 2017.
- Accepted papers will be announced after 15 December 2017.

==================
Congreso Internacional: Géneros de teatro musical: más allá de las etiquetas
¿Qué diferencia una ópera de un drama lírico o una opereta de una zarzuela? ¿Es Fidelio simplemente un Singspiel o Curro Vargas una zarzuela? Y dentro del género chico, ¿cuáles son las fronteras entre un sainete y una revista? ¿Tienen suficientes diferencias como para considerarlos géneros independientes? Muchas de estas preguntas quedan sin plantear, en parte como consecuencia de la tendencia del mundo académico a centrarse en géneros, períodos o estilos delimitados, dificultando la identificación de continuidades que se mantienen a lo largo de los siglos o a través de las fronteras. Ciertos prejuicios estéticos discriminan los supuestos géneros de entretenimiento (opereta, bailes de salón…) frente a los considerados géneros de arte (ópera, sinfonía…), aun cuando presentan características comunes. Las diversas denominaciones, utilizadas a veces como meras etiquetas clasificatorias, determinan de manera decisiva tanto la investigación como el consumo de los productos culturales. Resulta así necesario reflexionar sobre el encasillamiento que generan los conceptos de “género” en relación con el mundo del teatro musical.

Julio Cortázar, a Life in Words and Musical Notes
A celebration of the 100th anniversary of his birth: Friday, March 21, 2014
Call for Papers and Scores
The Bob Cole Conservatory of Music and The Romance, German, Russian Languages and Literatures Department at California State University, Long Beach, with the sponsorship of the Consulate General and Promotion Center of the Argentine Republic are pleased to announce the International Symposium on the Fiction of Julio Cortázar to be held on Friday, March 21, 2014. At this symposium we will honor the centenary of the birth of the Argentinean author. Cortázar, like many authors of the period, was greatly influenced by the correspondence among the arts. His fiction reflected his knowledge and passion for music, film, photography, architecture, painting, sculpture, and other expressions of the human spirit. Of all these, it was music, and jazz in particular, that claimed his attention often and was to be his muse and constant presence in many of his most well-known fiction, such as the groundbreaking Hopscotch (1963).
In Cortázar's works his interest in music bleeds into the themes, the characters, and the places he creates. Music also influences the syntax and rhythms of his narrative in unexpected ways in search for a new language influenced by jazz improvisation. But does this influence go beyond jazz? Beyond the classical music he knows so well? Musicologists, composers, and literary critics will engage in a dialogue about one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century and his longstanding love affair with the relationship between music and words.
CALL FOR PAPERS
We invite 500-word proposals in Spanish or in English. Abstracts on the following topics are particularly welcomed:
- Cortázar and music
- Time and sound in Cortázar's narrative
- Jazz as character and theme in Cortázar's fictions
- Artistic correspondences in Cortázar's works
- Musical imagery in Cortázar's stories
- Memory and musical images
- A life in words
- "El perseguidor" and Charlie Parker
- Jazz, dance and love in Hopscotch
Abstracts on other themes related to Cortázar's life and works will be considered. Please specify technological requirements at the end of your proposal, and indicate which of the proposed theme-headings better suits your paper. Papers must have a maximum extension of 7 double-spaced pages to be read in 15 minutes followed by 5 minutes for Q&A, for a total time of 20 minutes. When you reach 13 minutes, your moderator will ask you to skip to your conclusions.
*Papers may be presented in English or Spanish, but can't be read in absentia.
Fees
To attend the full day conference/concert: $85/$30 students with valid ID
This includes all papers sessions and concert. Breakfast, a boxed lunch and a light dinner will be offered, and they are included in the registration fee.

CALL FOR SCORES
We invite composers of any age or nationality to submit new musical works, which should connect with the works of Julio Cortázar, and be written specifically for this symposium. In order to encourage participation in the concert and symposium by students of the California State University system, preference will be given to current CSU students.
Works should refer to or be inspired by any writing by Cortázar (for instance, his poems, novels, short stories), or be formed in dialogue with the music with which Cortázar's writings connect most intimately. If the new work actually sets or otherwise uses a text by Cortázar, the composer must provide evidence of having secured copyright permission along with the composition.
Scores should be accompanied by a short bio, and a two-paragraph program note explaining which of Cortázar's work informs the composition, and in which ways. A panel consisting of CSULB composition faculty and a CSULB Composers' Guild member will determine the works to be featured on Friday, March 21st, 2014 at the Gerald Daniel Recital Hall. All selected works will be performed and recorded by members of the CSULB New Music Ensemble.
Medium: We will accept compositions for any combination from three to seven instruments drawn from the following ensemble:
- Tenor Voice
- Trumpet
- Saxophone
- Violin
- Cello
- Piano
- Percussion (1 player)
Works with electronics will be considered. Specify technical requirements with your submission.
Duration
works should be at least 4 minutes in duration; preference will be given to works under 10 minutes. Limit one work per composer.

ROBERT M. STEVENSON (1916-2012)
It is my sad duty to report the death of Robert M. Stevenson (1916-2012), certainly one of the leading musicologists of the latter half of the twentieth century and a preeminent figure in the advancement of Ibero-American musicological research.
Dr. Stevenson passed away at 10:45 p.m. on December 22, at a nursing home in Santa Monica. He’d been struggling with assorted ailments since last July and was in various hospitals and healthcare facilities from early August to the end. He put up a very good fight and came back from death’s door several times, but at age 96, it was a losing battle.
Per Dr. Stevenson’s request, there will be no memorial service. He will be cremated and his ashes placed alongside those of his siblings in Washington, D.C. A fuller obituary will follow soon.

SYMPOSIUM: SPANISH MUSICS AND THEIR [WESTERN] OTHERS: NEGOTIATING IDENTITY AND EXOTICISM
Friday 7–Saturday 8 December 2012
Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, The University of Melbourne, Australia
Full Programme at the Symposium Website: http://www.conservatorium.unimelb.edu.au/SpanishMusicSymposium
Western Music and entertainment have drawn on features of Spanish music and dance for over 200 years, building on them as cornerstones of musical exoticism. These constructions of musical exoticism have in turn informed different manifestations of Spanish musical nationalism, as well as regional and popular musics of Spain.
This Symposium brings together scholars from around the world to reflect on Spain’s unique position in the enactment of musical and cultural identity. The papers explore themes that span a range of periods, genres and musical styles, from opera and flamenco to dance and film, and encompass approaches including historical musicology, cultural studies and performance practice.

IAMSG STUDY GROUP SESSION AT THE AMS CONFERENCE
NEW ORLEANS 2012
Jazz Dialogues between Ibero-America and the United States
Saturday, November 3, 8 p.m.
Alejandro L. Madrid, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chair
This year’s Hispanic Interest Group topic examines the flows that have informed the development of jazz in and outside of the United States. The panel will focus on the often-neglected contributions of Latin American musicians in the development of one of the United States’ most iconic musics, how jazz has been embraced and resignified abroad, and how it has been continuously reinvented according to transnational identity projects.
“Transnational Reinventions of the Danzón in Latin Jazz and Latin Rap”
Alejandro L. Madrid, University of Illinois at Chicago
This presentation explores the contemporary rearticulations of the danzón by jazz artists in Cuba, Mexico, and the U.S. A study of the music by Maraca and Dayramir González shows how contemporary Latin Jazz musicians have taken the danzón to imagine a modern Black identity within the circulation of Afro-diasporic cultural flows between the U.S. and the Caribbean. By comparing these musical projects with danzón-inspired songs by Cuban and Mexican rappers Francis Ríos and Control Machete, the presentation argues that, at a moment of unprecedented emigration in Cuban history, nostalgia allows for the reinvention of local traditional musics into aesthetic-political projects that re-imagine Cuban culture from a transnational perspective.

During its heyday in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the loft scene in New York City was an incubator for radical revisionings of jazz performance. As George E. Lewis put it, the lofts were environments that “eschewed the codes and genre-policing of conventional jazz and classical performance” and “provided entry-level support for an emerging multiracial network of musicians.” Seldom remarked upon, however, is the vital role Brazilian jazz musicians played in helping to constitute and sustain the loft scene. This presentation uses an examination of the annual Brazilian jazz festivals that took place at Mike Morgenstern’s “Jazzmania Society” loft in the early 1980s as a springboard for asking questions about the varied contributions Brazilian musicians have made to the long history of jazz in the United States.
“Modernism, Nationalism, and Race in the Early Jazz of Barcelona, 1900-36”
Antoni Pizà, The Graduate Center, The City University of New York
In the early years of the twentieth century, Barcelona boasted a thriving jazz scene, including many local musicians, touring bands, venues (clubs and theaters), critics, magazines, and educational initiatives that encompassed lecture series and appreciation courses. The success of this “new” music was principally due to its perceived cultural otherness as much as its innovative musical features. Many musicians were African American, but there was also a small group of Latin American émigrés (discussed here for the first time). Through a study of archival materials and unpublished sources (including criticism, archival recordings, caricatures, posters, ticket stubs, announcements, lecture invitations, etc.), this paper shows that, for Catalans, jazz acquired meaning at the intersection of modernity, nationalism, and difference both racial and musical.

The Center for Iberian and Latin American Music at UCR is pleased to announce that the 2012 Otto Mayer-Serra Award for Music Research goes to:
Jaime O. Bofill Colero, “Bomba, danza, calipso y merengue: creación del espacio social en las Fiestas de Santiago Apóstol de Loíza”
This paper presents a convincing, well-executed study of a socio-religious practice in Puerto Rico. The author shows how sound plays a crucial role in the definition of a spiritually significant and inclusive space in the Feast of Santiago Apóstol de Loíza. Far from being a passive entity, the soundscape explored in this paper is described as an active and dialogic presence, made vital by its physical expression in the bodies of dancers and bystanders. By combining lively observation with updated theoretical analyses, it brings forward many qualities that we prize in Latin American music research.
Honorable mention in this year's competition goes to:
Rafael Díaz S. (Pontifica Universidad Católica, Chile), “Tiwanaku inventó la flauta traversa del sur del mundo”

Symposium:
Spanish musics and their [Western] Others: Negotiating identity and exoticism
Friday 7 – Saturday 8 December 2012
The University of Melbourne, Australia
Western Music and entertainment have drawn on features of Spanish music and dance since at least the Napoleonic wars. In turn, constructions of musical exoticism based on Hispanic tropes have informed different manifestations of Spanish musical nationalism, as well as regional and popular musics of Spain. These “Spanish” musical identities have evolved and been reconfigured according to the dictates of competing cultural, political and social factors, yet Spain’s unique position and its enactment of cultural identity cannot easily be reconciled within current narratives of musical nationalism and exoticism.
Papers are invited that examine Spanish musical identity, engage with Western evocations of Spanish music, or explore such repertories in relation to constructions of nationalism and exoticism since 1800.
Papers may address repertories or issues relating to one of the following areas (or others related to the conference theme):
- Western art music
- Dance and theatrical spectacle
- National and regional musics
- Popular musics
- Flamenco
- Music and film
Please submit an abstract of not more than 250 words, with a brief biographical note,
to Michael Christoforidis, by emailing mchri@unimelb.edu.au
by Monday 30 April 2012
Paper-givers will be notified by mid-May, but if you need earlier notification, please indicate this in your submission.
There will be a publication of refereed proceedings.
Accommodation (2 nights) will be provided for international presenters
