Subject: ISSGRM Announcement (fwd)
Members of HUMANIST might be interested in the following announcement:
> ************************************************************************
>
> ***** INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF GREEK AND ROMAN MUSIC *****
>
> ************************************************************************
>
> The purpose of this new organization is to encourage research and
> teaching concerned with the music of the Greek and Roman civilizations,
> and to foster contacts between scholars working in this field. The
> Society's conception of its subject is open-ended, extending beyond the
> minutiae of musical practice and theory themselves to the study, for
> instance, of relations between music and other aspects of life and the
> arts in antiquity, of the roles of ideas derived from music in
> philosophy and science, and of the relations between the music of Greece
> and Rome and that of other cultures, including those of medieval and
> renaissance Europe.
>
> The Society's first task will be to collect information about current
> research projects, new publications and related activities. Details of
> these will be published in a regular Newsletter which will be circulated
> to members. We hope that in due course the Society will also be able to
> take an active role in publishing of a more orthodox sort, and in
> arranging conferences.
>
> Inquiries and applications for membership should be addressed to
> Dr Andrew Barker
> Department of Classics
> University of Otago
> PO Box 56
