I think the following message forward from the Society for American Music mailing list may be of interest to some people on the Discussions list. Two of the guest editors should be well-known to members of this list.

Nick: Is the University of Alabama reference an error or has something changed?

Subject: [Sonneck] CFP: Special issue of Common-place on Early American Music

Common-place (www.common-place.org<http://www.common-place.org>)--the award-winning online journal of Early American history and culture sponsored by the American Antiquarian Society and the University of Oklahoma--is seeking article abstracts for a special issue on American music from the colonial period through 1876. This special issue is scheduled for publication in January 2013. The journal's aim is to provide non-specialist readers with the very best contemporary scholarship on topics related to early America. We look for pieces that are important and interesting and written in ways calculated to engage readers within and well beyond the academy. Our digital format offers the additional capability of incorporating both recordings and images into Common-place articles. At the same time, Common-place is a peer-reviewed journal that has established a secure place in American cultural scholarship. Should your essays appear, you will be able to record them as "peer-reviewed and permanently archived" on your vitae.

We are particularly interested in submissions that focus on Native American and African American communities and their musical traditions in early America. We seek abstracts from scholars from a wide range of disciplines.

The three guest editors of the special music issue will be Stephen Marini (Wellesley College), Peter Leavenworth (Independent Scholar), and Nikos Pappas (University of Alabama).

If you are interested in submitting for this special music issue of Common-place, please submit a short (250-500 word) abstract of your proposed article to Steve Marini (sma...@wellesley.edu<mailto:sma...@wellesley.edu>) and Cathy Kelly, editor of Common-place (c-pe...@ou.edu<mailto:c-pe...@ou.edu>).
