13th- 15th November 2025, Roma
International Conference
Call for papers
The International Conference Music and Celebrations in the Jubilee years between the 17th and 19th centuries wishes to promote research topics about sacred and secular music in Rome and other cities during the Holy Years of those centuries in relation to historical, political, social and economic changes. Several features of sacred music will be considered, as well as those related to alternative musical productions to Opera, which was forbidden during the Holy Years.
The topics of the conference will be investigated from an interdisciplinary perspective, and they aim at exploring the existence of specificities and peculiar connotations of music in the Jubilee period in relationship to various events such as:
spread and circulation of musical repertoires, composers and musicians from Rome to the rest of Europe;
connections with economic aspects and patronage;
changes in musical styles;
relationships between music and other arts;
the effects of politics and diplomacy;
history of the Church;
repercussions on instrumental and non-liturgical music: music theatre, cantatas, serenades, oratorios;
open-air music and celebrations;
secular celebrations and bans;
musical repertoires of pilgrimages.
The proposals should be submitted as Word or PDF file, or @
including
author or authors’ full name;
institutional affiliation;
e-mail address;
paper title and abstract of no more than 1800 characters (spaces included);
a biography (maximum length 500 characters, spaces included);
the list of technical equipment required for presentation.
The deadline for submitting proposals is 10th September 2025. Accepted proposals will be notified by 30th September 2025.
Papers are limited to 20 minutes in length (maximum 12.000 characters, spaces included) allowing time (about 10 minutes) for questions and discussion.
