CALL FOR PAPERS
Ivor Gurney, Poetry and Music

This conference will explore both the poetry and the music of Ivor Gurney. Papers are invited on either aspect of his work, and the organisers particularly welcome papers which look at both his writing and his composition. They are also interested in papers which look at the context within which Gurney was writing - music history, literary history, medical history, his literary and musical circles or influences, etc..

The conference will be held in Cambridge, England, 9 to 10 September 2007. It is hoped to include a concert of Gurney's songs by tenor Andrew Kennedy.

The organisers welcome proposals for papers of approximately 150-300 words. Deadline: 1 February 2007. Please send proposals as email text (not attachment) to both addresses below:
