The Pascall Medal is named after the late Robert Pascall (1944-2018), reflecting his inestimable work in the discipline of music analysis. This award is now entering its fourth year – previous winners have been James Hepokoski, Arnold Whittall and Janet Schmalfeldt. It will be awarded to any scholar from any country, and from any stage of their career, who is deemed to have made a highly significant contribution to analytically-based musicological research and/or the teaching of music analysis. All SMA members are invited to nominate a maximum of three candidates (self-nominations are not permitted). An order of preference must be given, marking 1 for the most-favoured, and 3 for the least. Those who nominate should provide a 500-word assessment about each candidate’s contribution, ideally with copies of some key relevant publications (a maximum of three attached documents). Nominees can be from any country.

The closing date for nominations is Friday 22 December 2023. The winner should be announced in March-April 2024.

The scholar awarded will be invited to give a keynote address at MAC 2025, with all expenses covered.

Please send nominations for each of these together with supporting statements and documents to admin@sma.ac.uk . For any queries relating to these awards, please contact the SMA Administrator, Dr Yvonne Teo (yvonne.teo@durham.ac.uk ), or the SMA Awards Officer, Professor Ian Pace (ian.pace.1@city.ac.uk).
