CIA Music Committee Meeting (Monday, 16th October)

Members of the CIA Music Committee met on Monday afternoon to discuss matters pertaining to the annual Coupe Mondiale competitions. A new system of evaluating judges marking was instituted by member Jacques Mornet, called the GIEM System. The GIEM graphs log a judges marks compared to the average mark which is useful in evaluating the work of the jury in the various categories. The system was used to illustrate the results from the 2005 Coupe Mondiale in Castelo Branco, and will be used again this year.

The Music Committee selected the work "Fantasy, Op. 67" by Karen Fremar as the Test Piece for the 60th Anniversary Coupe Mondiale in the United States in August of 2007.

The rules and guidelines for the International Competition for Piano Accordion were adjusted slightly with full details being announced in coming days.
