CFP: Proposals for Editions of Music Scores (A-R Editions)

PROPOSALS FOR EDITIONS OF MUSIC SCORES
A-R EDITIONS RECENT RESEARCHES IN MUSIC SERIES

A-R Editions seeks proposals for editions of music to be included in the Recent Researches in Music series. Each edition is usually devoted to works by a single composer or to a single genre of composition and contains an introduction to the music and its historical context, a critical report, and translations of vocal texts. We are especially interested in reviewing proposals for the following series:

- Medieval & Early Renaissance
- Renaissance
- American Music
- Oral Traditions

A-R Editions also seeks proposals for editions of music to be included in the Collegium Musicum: Yale University series. This series seeks to present a varied selection of works that draws from a particular repertory or historical context or that reflects a particular thematic focus. The works should be of interest to early music performers and ensembles (medieval through mid-18th century).
