DEADLINE EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 15, 2023
Sparks & Wiry Cries calls for articles on the themes of exile and migration for publication in “The Art Song Magazine,” an online repository of work associated with the performance and composition of Art Song. We seek articles from advanced graduate students, established scholars, composers, and performers. We are especially interested in articles that analyze works, systems, or practices that involve the blending of musical styles from both the Middle East and North America. Articles should be between 1000-3000 words in length and adhere to our submission guidelines.
Please submit articles for review by September 30, 2023 to sparksandwirycrieseditor@gmail.com. Articles relating to our theme may be eligible for an honorarium between $250 and $500 USD, based on the length and scope of the article. Articles will be evaluated and reviewed by an editorial board comprised of performers and scholars, and if selected, we will provide editorial support prior to publication.
Previous contributors to “The Art Song Magazine” have included Dr. Tsitsi Ella Jaji, Graham Johnson, Deen Larsen, Dr. Becky Lu, Dr. J. Mackenzie Pierce, Dr. James Primosch, Dr. Te Oti Rakena & Dr. Tessa Romano, and Dr. Susan Youens. We have a dedicated and growing readership from around the world. Sparks & Wiry Cries is a 501c(3) non-profit that curates opportunities for art song creators, performers, and scholars through innovative initiatives that capture the stories of our diverse communities. Besides our online magazine, we are responsible for sparksLIVE events, including the world premiere of “Songs in Flight” at the Met Museum in January 2023, and our international songSLAMs competitions for composer/performer teams to create and premiere new works.
