CALL FOR PAPERS

The 2024 IGC-GIC Colloquium invites presentations on any topic connected with Gregorian Chant. While particular interest will be given to exploring aspects of emotion and affect in sacred song, proposals on all topics are welcome and will be considered. Topics may include but are not limited to:
• The representation and/or expression of sentiment in the Gregorian repertoire
• Emotion and affect in chant performance practice
• Mood and meaning in the chant corpus: modes, modulations, melismas
• Office and Mass chants connected with John the Baptist
• Any other area of interest related to Gregorian chant

Please send a 250-word abstract to the program committee at igc.gic@gmail.com. Abstracts may be sent (and papers presented) in either English or French. Conference papers will be limited to 30 minutes, followed by a 10-minute discussion period.

Presenters are welcome to include practical demonstrations, e.g., singing and/or inviting the audience to do so. Proposals will be evaluated anonymously.

The deadline for proposals is March 15, 2024.
