DS-CEMSP 8^th International Conference is going to be held from July 3^rd through July 5^th, 2020 at the National Palace of Queluz (Portugal). This year the event is dedicated to the phenomenon of religious ceremonies at the European courts and palaces during the ancient régime. These demonstrations of magnificence had the function to represent the royal power through the image of piety, moral stance, divine favour and order, and often included musical and theatrical forms of presentation. The conference aims to promote a multidisciplinary dialogue on topics which explore different aspects of religious manifestations at court and the uses of music in the theatralization of royal ceremonies and rituals, calling for the participation of researchers of various areas of studies. Topics as following will be considered:

• The Royal Chapels and their activity
• Religious music and representation of the royal power
• Repertoires, performance practice, dissemination and adaptation of genres across Europe
• Ceremonial, liturgy and music
• Oratorios at European courts and noble palaces
• The court and the city: religious festivals and processions

Scholars are invited to submit individual proposals with the maximum length of 20 minutes per paper. Session proposals will be accepted as well: a maximum of three or four papers will be taken into consideration, and the session should not exceed 1h30.

A selection of the presented papers will be published in our book series Cadernos de Queluz.
