Guidelines for Submissions to Anacrusis
  • Articles must be on a subject related to the choral art and group singing. They should be of interest to choral musicians across the country, such as, but not limited to articles on repertoire, history of choral music and group singing, performance practice, choral composers and conductors/leaders (including interviews), rehearsal techniques, vocal technique, management and organizational issues as they relate to choirs and singing groups, choral music education, choral music and society, choirs and singing groups in community, and sociological aspects of choral/group singing. 

  • Articles on Canadian aspects of choral music and group singing are particularly welcome.
  •  Articles may be in French or English.
  • Length: Submissions generally consist of 1,000 to 2,500 words; Articles requesting peer-review consideration consist of a maximum of 5,000 words.
  • Lengthy articles should be divided into sections separated by sub-titles to lead the reader through the article.
  • Referenced material should be noted in the body of the text and cited as endnotes. Non-academic articles are not required to contain references. 
  • Articles that contain musical examples, illustrations, or figures (statistical charts), copyright clearance must be obtained by the author prior to submission to Choral Canada.
  • All musical examples, illustrations, or figures (statistical charts) included in articles must be placed following the explanatory text, within the article. The examples must be labeled with copyright information, and labeled numerically, eg.
    Example #1, Ruth Watson Henderson: Voices of Earth, Mov't 2, mm24-20
           Copyright 1991 by GVT/Chapel Music​
  • A short biographical note (3-4 sentences) and a high quality colour photo (jpg or png) of the author must accompany the article submission.
  • All academic articles requesting peer review are subject to a blind review by members of the Anacrusis Editorial Committee.
  • Format: please submit electronically to info@choralcanada.org.
    ​
Note: Anacrusis retains ownership and all copyright privileges of manuscripts and accompanying material published in the magazine. Authors wishing to reprint their manuscript in another publication, must request reprint permission, which will be granted as long as a statement in the reprint version indicates when and where the article first appeared (Choral Canada’s journal Anacrusis) and that “permission to reprint was granted by Choral Canada and the Anacrusis Editorial Committee.” 
Choral Canada's Selection Guidelines for the Consideration of the Anacrusis Editorial Committee The following guidelines are designed to further assist the Anacrusis Editorial Committee members to evaluate articles for publication in Anacrusis.
Articles not conforming to the guidelines may be returned for revision. Articles submitted should contain primarily new or original information or research relevant to the choral art and of interest to choral musicians in Canada. 
Articles are accepted for publication when the author receives an email in writing from a member of the Anacrusis Editorial Committee, such as the Editor-In-Chief, that states their article will be published.

Expanded criteria for the consideration of the members of the Editorial Committee include:

1. The topic is of national importance and/or will interest a majority of readers.
2. The article offers new knowledge of or insight into the topic. (Articles that rely heavily on secondary sources are seldom judged to offer new knowledge.)
​3. The article will challenge readers’ thinking.
4. The material is timely. (Anniversaries of composers or events offer timely opportunities for articles.)
5. The premise is well defined, supported, and developed; the purpose of the article should be clear.
6. The scope is appropriate: neither too narrow nor too broad.
7. The information is precise, accurate, and well documented.
