Dear Colleagues:

I am very pleased to announce that the 2003 meeting of the New England Conference of Music Theorists will be a joint meeting with the Music Theory Society of New York State. The meeting will be held at Yale University, April 26-27, 2003. This will be the first joint meeting between NECMT and MTSNYS and we are all very excited about the opportunities it presents. The Program Committee for this meeting consists of Mary Arlin (Ithaca College), Program Chair; James Baker (Brown University); Joseph Dubiel (Columbia University); Peter Kaminsky (University of Connecticut); Philip Rupprecht (City University of New York); and Janet Schmalfeldt (Tufts University). A copy of the call for papers for our 2003 meeting is enclosed in this mailing. (Please note that deadline is much earlier than usual for NECMT.) I hope you will consider sending in a proposal. Please feel free to circulate this notice among your colleagues and students as well.

There is a new address for the NECMT website. Following discussions at the 2002 business meeting, the Executive Board decided to find a more permanent home for the website, one which would allow us to update and maintain the site’s contents without hindrance. The new address is http://homepage.mac.com/necmt. At next year’s business meeting, we will consider the idea of registering "necmt.org" as our permanent domain name.

Ed Gollin (Harvard University) has stepped down as Website Development Chair. We are all extremely grateful to Ed for his years of service in this important position. Andrew Davis (University of Massachusetts, Amherst) has agreed to take over Ed’s responsibilities. With this change, the Executive Board decided to change the name of the position to "Website Coordinator."

The terms of office for NECMT President and Treasurer will expire in 2003. As usual, we will hold an election to fill these vacancies in the spring. The Executive Board has appointed a nominating committee to develop a slate of candidates. The members of this committee are Deborah Stein (New England Conservatory), chair; David Cohen (Columbia University); and Christa Kober (University of Massachusetts, Amherst). Please send nominations (self-nominations are welcome) to Deborah Stein, NECMT 2003 Nominating Committee, New England Conservatory, 290 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02115.

Finally, even though this letter comes much earlier than usual, I’d like to remind each of you to renew your membership in NECMT before then end of the year. In addition, it is now possible for members to renew for either one or two years.

I’m looking forward to seeing you in New Haven next April. In the meantime, please accept my best wishes for a safe and happy summer and a productive start to the new academic year.

Sincerely,

Gary S. Karpinski, NECMT President

Performances during the symposium will include a broad range of works for different genres (solo instrument, chamber music, choral, traditional instruments) by Yuasa, Ichiyanagi, Nishimura, and Niimi, as well as the winner of a composition competition.

The Journal of Film Music provides an interdisciplinary forum for scholars in music, film, and other disciplines who share a common interest in this vital new area of scholarly inquiry. Though now represented in mainstream journals in music, film, the media, and mass communication, scholarly writing on film music is currently dispersed across many publications throughout the world. By providing a scholarly journal devoted to the subject, the interdisciplinary work of film music studies can flourish. Contributions encompassing all aspects of film music history, analysis, theory, and criticism are welcome.

Other Announcement: Ear-Training E-list

Dear list members:

The conference, "Developing the Musical Ear: A Conference on the Teaching of Ear Training at the College Level" held at Mannes College of Music was a resounding success. The "lively exchange of ideas and techniques" which we anticipated in the program flyer came to fruition at the conference in a remarkable manner.

It was suggested, helpfully, towards the end of the conference that an e-list, web ring, or general forum of some sort be established so that this important area can be explored in the musical community on an on-going basis. We are happy to report that an e-list has now been established. The web site for the list is:

http://www.ursatz.com/Ear_Training

To join the list, please go to the web site. Once there, click on the "e-list" button, *please* read the FAQs and Rules, and then subscribe through the subscription option. You may unsubscribe at any time.

Any additional questions which are not covered under the "FAQs" section may be directed to Eric Chernov at: eartraining@ursatz.com

Thank you very much for your interest in this most important pedagogical area. We hope to see you on the list!

Yours sincerely,

The Conference Committee
