CFP: Drawing on the Musical Past: Music Iconology, Instrument Making and Experimental Playing in Music Archaeology (CUNY)

DRAWING ON THE MUSICAL PAST: MUSIC ICONOLOGY, INSTRUMENT MAKING, AND EXPERIMENTAL PLAYING IN MUSIC ARCHAEOLOGY
CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK
23 - 25 SEPTEMBER 2009
CALL FOR PAPERS

Third conference of the ICTM Study Group for Music Archaeology and Twelfth conference of the Research Center for Music Iconography
City University of New York, The Graduate Center
New York, 23–25 September 2009

Research in music archaeology has become attractive not only among specialized archaeologists and musicologists, but also among instrument makers and musicians. Music iconology, apart from the study of excavated musical instruments, often forms a crucial part in the interpretation of the social contexts and meanings of past music, but also in the study of organological forms and their individual history, materials of manufacture, playing postures, playing techniques, and other aspects. A glance into the rich universe of past music cultures seems to be possible and even reasonable, to a certain degree. This conference aims to present aspects of the advantages, risks, and limits of music iconology, instrument making, and experimental playing in music archaeology.

Abstracts of 200–300 words may be submitted before 1 May 2009 to:
