AMS Studies in Music

The American Musicological Society, in collaboration with Oxford University Press, is pleased to sponsor the AMS Studies in Music.  Like its predecessor, the AMS Monographs series, AMS Studies in Music seeks to foster and support outstanding and innovative scholarship touching on music across the widest range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary arenas of inquiry.  The series welcomes submissions of any length exploring and transsecting musical issues from historical, theoretical, cultural, ethnological, and socio-political perspectives, among others.

Authors should submit a detailed proposal explaining the substance and importance of their work, the content of each chapter, the current status of the study, and a projected date for completion of the manuscript.  Along with the proposal they should also submit one or more sample chapters.  Two copies of proposals and sample chapters should be sent to:
