Mailing list for Central and E. European Music
You are invited to join a new list for Central and East European Music, which has been opened within the Mailbase group of lists by Ann Buckley of Cambridge University. The following is an extract from the introduction file to the list:
"This list exists in order to communicate ideas and engage in discussion on musicological research on Central and Eastern Europe. Musicology is here defined in the widest sense to include historical musicology, theory, analysis, criticism, ethnomusicology, sociology, iconography, organology, and interdisciplinary studies which include a music component.
We welcome participation in this list from all who study any aspect of music, past or present, in which the primary focus is on regions to the east of a line running roughly north-south from Germany to the Adriatic."

Contributions are invited for a three-day conference on Josquin des Prez (d.1521) to be held at Princeton University on 29-31 October 1999. In addition to discussion sessions and round tables, the event will feature a concert and a workshop on performance-related issues with The Binchois Consort directed by Andrew Kirkman. The conference will take place six days before the National Meeting of the American Musicological Society (Kansas City, Missouri, 4-7 November 1999).
The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for new directions in Josquin scholarship. No restrictions are imposed on what these might be, but studies from the perspective of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century cultural history, and/or involving interdisciplinary approaches (gender studies, critical theory), are especially welcome. Possible topics include, but are by no means limited to, the following:

7-9 JUNE 1999
The last decade has witnessed a thorough re-examination and reconsideration of the aims, subject matters, and methodologies of the scholarly investigation of music. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Department of Musicology at Tel Aviv University is planning an international conference that will attempt to take stock of and to further contribute to this re-examination. The three-day conference will be held at the university between Monday, June 7 and Wednesday, June 9 1999.
We welcome contributions from scholars (including historical musicologists, music theorists, and ethnomusicologists) addressing these recent challenges or exemplifying their impact on a specific field or topic of research. Abstracts (approximately 500 words) should be e-mailed before January 15,1999 to Zohar Eitan, zeitan@ccsg.tau.ac.il. Abstracts containing music examples or other figures may be snail-mailed to the Department of Musicology (attn.: conference), Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, Tel Aviv, Israel 69978.
