Report submitted by Prof. Andreas Giger:
The LSU musicologists have just returned from the annual meeting of the Southern Chapter of the American Musicological Society (http://www.music.lsu.edu/~smi/AMSS/AMSS.html). The meeting took place at Nicholls State University and was organized by LSU alumna Melissa Goldsmith. It was a tremendous success in general and for LSU in particular. Seven LSU students attended and two of them read papers (Tim Love and Tina Huettenrauch). Tina won the $250 prize for the best student paper read at the meeting. Of the LSU faculty, Brett Boutwell read a wonderful paper on the sources and significance of Morton Feldman's early graphically notated compositions. Jan Herlinger, who chaired a session and served as chair of the Nominating Committee, called the meeting one of the best in the Chapter's history. I am exceedingly proud of our showing and honored to currently serve this Chapter as President.
