Conference on the History of Music in Valencia
13-15 de October 2016
The Conselleria de Cultura de la Generalitat Valenciana and the Universitat de València are organizing the Conference “Intersections”, centered on the History of Music in Valencia.
This Conference is proposed as a space for debate among those researchers and scholars who—both from inside and outside Valencia—have devoted themselves principally, if not exclusively, to the Valencian tradition. Its goal is to contribute to the consolidation of a local history of music able to reconstruct how individuals and/or communities thought and acted musically in the past; to recognize the results of that thinking and acting in order to value them in the present; and to demonstrate the interconnection between the Valencian musical life and that in the rest of Spain and Europe.

This
Conference will be articulated in plenary sessions and free communications. Methodological
frameworks in Applied musicology, Historiography, History of institutions, and
Biography/Prosopography will be discussed through brief keynote speeches in
plenary sessions. Free communications will be dedicated to present, in
different forms, research results of individual scholars or study groups.
Free communications: 15 minutes long, plus 5 minutes for debate.
Study groups: Groups will be allowed up to 1 hour to
report research results on specific issues/topics; groups may use and
distribute available time among their members at their convenience.

received.

The

Proposals
on the following topics will be considered by the scientific committee:
Questions
of methodology in the history of music, particularly, issues related to local
historiography and the relations between local historiography and general
history.
Relationship
between the history of music and other fields within musicology (theory and
aesthetics of music, ethnomusicology, popular
music studies, iconography, organology).
Interdisciplinary
relations between history of music and general history, art history, and
history of literature.
Primary
and secondary sources for the history of music.
Historical
studies on institutions in the Valencian area: scholae cantorum, music chapels and organist positions, theaters
and concert halls; educational institutions (conservatories, schools of
music); professional organizations (guilds and labor unions); groups and
ensembles (minstrels, "extravagantes" music chapels, musical
societies, chamber-music ensembles, and popular-music
bands); institutional and private patronage; institutional relations at
local-, State-, and European level.
Music-centered
biographical and prosopographic studies in the Valencian area: biographies of
musicians (both performers and composers), writers (in the realm of theory,
aesthetics, criticism, and history), poets, patrons and sponsors; professional
careers of musicians and music producers (promoters, impresarios), as well as
their geographical mobility; relations between individuals devoted to music
production.
Applied-musicology
studies: performance-practice studies; history of performance; analysis of
performance; music performance as a study object; historically informed
criteria for performance; recorded- vs. live music; creative listeners and
listening practices.
There will
be available time for the presentation of doctoral dissertations (either
already defended or still in progress) related to any of the areas of interest
in this Conference.
Those
interested in having their communications published will be required to turn
in original files and paper copies at the time of their presentations at the
Conference.
