PASIC 2011 Focus Day Proposal “Five Decades of New Music for Percussion: 1961–2011”

The New Music/Research Committee of the Percussive Arts Society is pleased to announce a call for proposals for presentation/performance at the 2011 PASIC Focus Day, November 9, in Indianapolis, Indiana. PASIC 2011 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Percussive Arts Society, and to celebrate the occasion, the theme for Focus Day 2011 will be “Five Decades of New Music for Percussion: 1961–2011.” Soloists, ensembles, composers, and scholars are invited to send in proposals for performances and presentations. The committee calls for a wide and representative variety of percussion music to be presented, with specific focus on percussion solo and ensemble literature composed between 1961–2011, representing the birth of PAS through the first 50 years of its existence and development. It is the intention of the committee that the major masterworks and the significant composers of our field from this time period will be well represented in the proposals submitted from the membership at large. It is also the intention of the New Music/Research Committee that music for all percussion solo instrumentation be represented, as well as music drawing from the full spectrum of the solo and percussion ensemble repertoire of the past 50 years, including new and previously unknown works. The only stipulations in preparing an application are that the music must have been composed between the years of 1961–2011, and that the piece be for percussion instruments only. It is not the desire of the committee to receive proposals that include the use of electronics and/or the inclusion of any non-percussionists or non-percus- sion instruments (with the exception of the piano). Suggested topics for presentation include: masterworks for solo instruments, masterworks for percussion ensemble, experiments with tradition, experiments with organized sound, experiments with non-western influences, experiments with the interpretation of graphic notation, experiments with timbre & texture fields, experiments with minimalism, experiments with complexity, experiments with extended tech- Schedule niques, etc. With the intent of including as many and as wide a variety of performers and performances as possible, the committee requests that applicants submit proposals for the performance and/or presentation of a specific piece of literature rather than for a collection of pieces or an entire session. The day will be organized around five mixed concerts from the five decades of PAS, with a culminating evening showcase performances representative of of Events the entire 50-year time period. As always, the committee is interested in the participation of both emerging and established artists. Applications from performers, composers, scholars, and ensembles featured in past New Music Research and/or Focus Days are expected and are encouraged. All proposals that meet the criteria and qualify for inclusion on the 2011 PASIC Focus Day will be given complete and careful consideration. Please note: expenses and the securing of instruments Wednesday and funding sources will be the sole responsibility of the artist(s) themselves. This includes all logistical and financial considerations associated with the performance. Please prepare and submit your proposal with this consideration in mind. November 10 For additional information, please contact: Dr. Eugene D. Novotney, New Music/ Research Committee, E-mail: [email protected]. Now accepting Applications at www.pas.org, deadline December 15th.
