In 1982 the School ofMusic ofThe University ofAlabama began to benefit
from an endowed chair, the purpose ofwhich was to bring students and fac-
ulty into substantive contact with intemationally recognized authorities in
music theory or composition perfomance, muSic history; and music edu-
cation" A five-year rOtation of these areas’With performance occupying two
years of the rotation, WaS begun in the 1982-1983 academic year with Ross
Lee Finne〉l COmPOSer, in residence. During the following year, the pianist
NataIie Hinderas was based in Thscaloosa.

一O SuPPOrt a Series of three-Week residencies, four symposia with presen-
tations by additional experts, a COnCluding symposium, and a publication
which would contaln papers written by those invited for the residencies and
symposia. It was proposed that each symposium focus on a di鉦3rent SPe-
cia]ization but that all treat foundational areas of music education. The cal-
endar as it actualIy tock ulace appears below It is substantially the same as
that proposed by the committee in September 1983 and approved by the
board oftrustees in December ofthat year.

Apri1 26-上場, 1985, CIosing symposium: Max Kaplan, Charles Leonhard,
Cli餓〕rd Madsen, Abraham Schwadron, members ofthe committee, and
graduate students in music education-Guntersville State Park, Alabama
The publication first proposed was a sing]e book buiIt around the sym-
posium topics and c‘Ontaining papers written for it by the symposium mem-
bers. Subsequently, a tWO-book plan was approved, with the second volume
containing previous!y unpublished reports by twenty-Six ofthe field’s top ex-
perimental researchers. It was also decided that further papers wou]d be so-
1icited for the first book on certain topics not covered in Symposium I.
Invitations to write on these topics were accepted by Amanda耽nick, Uni-
versity of Alabama (on studio instruction) and Craig Kirchhofl; Ohio State
Unjversity (on bands).
録S!C Educatio扉�‘he U融ed S加res: CorltempOrarg JsstJeS, then, Can
be characterized as a foundational reference in music education. Sixteen
mdyor theorists and practitioners in the field of music education have con-
tributed an essa〉′ On the topic ofthe symposium to which they had been in-
vited, Stating what issues confi-Ont the field currently and suggesting ways
(

Fore word ×I
that the field should meet the challenges ofresoIving these issues in the near
鼻書ture.
ach was asked to treat the topic ln PreSentation style’’at the symposia◆ ``
but to write for the pub]ication diiferently This, then, is not a book ofpro-
ceedings. Each section of Mt‘Sfo EdαCatわ証高fe U融ed S細es was edited
by the corresponding symposium chairman in ∞nSultation with the pr(*ct
headliners. The companion volume, Ap擁coきious Q笹esearc信"肌‘Sic Be-
庇証or edited by哩g± M吐nd CaroI Prickett, COntains the papers
read at a March 1985 meeting in Fbrt Worth,脆xas, five ofwhich had been
resented at Symposium III.
It is falr to say that the AIabama Prqject not only reached students and
faculty at the University of Alabama’in and out of the SchooI of Music; it
also touched teachers and students in schooI systems in Alabama. Through
the divisional convention of the Music Educators National Conf料ence
(MENC), its resources were oifered to music educators of the Southeast.
Aubum University’s Department of Music presented a lecture series by the
four pr(房Ct headliners. The residencies alone ac∞unted for more than 130
presentations, SPeeChes’Clinics’addresses, and individual consultations’aS
well as many infomal meetings. The symposia added more. In the publi-
cations, the University of Alabama o鰐rs to the field of music education a
needed current repository of exempla「y theoretical writing and experimen-
tal research reporting from the United States"
With thanks to those who made this rare experience possible, and with
gratitude to those many who made it work’We commend these publications
to our colleagues.
