CALL FOR ARTICLES | Climate Change and Environmentalism in Art Song

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO: AUGUST 30, 2024

Sparks & Wiry Cries calls for articles on new research in Art Song 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. At this time, we are especially interested in articles that engage with the intersection of art song performance and composition with ecology, climate change, environmentalism and climate activism. Articles should be between 1000-3000 words in length and adhere to our submission guidelines.

Please submit articles for review by July 30, 2024 to jgertlerjaffe@sparksandwirycries.org. 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 blind reviewed by an editorial board composed 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.
