Please forgive duplicate postings. Call for Papers for Kalamazoo 2000 "Teaching Medieval Music: Where is the Early in Early Music?" This session will focus on the continuing absence and disappearance of medieval music from the teaching curriculum in undergraduate studies. The term "early music" has come to mean music from ancient times through the Baroque. With each new year, and indeed as time has passed, the "early" aspect of "early music" has more and more been pushed out of the curriculum, in order to focus more time and energy on the rise of tonality and Renaissance through Baroque aspects of music. In the process, both ancient and medieval music garner little if any time in the curriculum. This session will attempt to deal with the problem, by presenting real-life solutions to presenting medieval music to undergraduates in a minimal amount of time, without too much confusion, and with as much enthusiasm and initiative as possible. The session moderator is looking for 3 - 20 minute papers that deal with these issues. Please send an abstract of your paper by September 30 to: Dr. Brad Eden University of Nevada at Las Vegas [log in to unmask] Questions regarding topics, ideas, etc., should also be sent to this address.
