Presenting at GSIM 2006
Now that my thesis is safely in the hands of my committee, I’m finishing up my part of a paper I’m presenting next weekend with Dana at the Graduate Students in Music Symposium on “Musical Spaces” at CUNY. Dana and I are talking about the hollow square in Sacred Harp singing with Dana addressing social aspects of the square, and me addressing compositional aspects. Here’s the schedule:
