Dear scholars of post-1945 music,

Please consider submitting your published articles or book chapters for consideration for the SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group Publication Award.

Any peer-reviewed article or book chapter published between January 2020 and December 2022 on analysis of post-1945 music within modernist, experimental, avant-grade and related musical discourses is eligible. A substantial work of scholarship that engages with a wide literature but is not formally peer-reviewed may be considered at the discretion of the committee. Previous award recipients are ineligible to compete for the same award in subsequent years. We strongly encourage nominations by and about scholars/artists of color and members of other underrepresented groups in music scholarship. Self-nominations are welcome.

Please send your submission for the Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group Publication Award as a pdf attachment (or the publication information if a pdf is not readily available) to William Ayers at william.ayers@ucf.edu no later than March 15, 2023.

Additionally, feel free to contact us if you have any questions about submitting. We will be forming a committee to determine the award winner in the near future, so if you are not submitting, please consider letting us know of your interest to serve the interest group (with an email to william.ayers@ucf.edu).

With best wishes,
William Ayers and Elizabeth Hambleton
SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group, co-chairs

The Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group is a discursive space for scholars of music after 1945, with an emphasis on the modernist, experimental, and avant-garde. Through its annual meetings and online communications, the group aims to strengthen, support, and develop its members’ ideas and sense of community. It also seeks to bring attention to and foster scholarship on post-1945 music both within the Society for Music Theory and in music scholarship at large.
