“Ad Parnassum, a twice-yearly musicological journal, was conceived to become a prestigious Italian achievement, and a reference point in the international music scene.

Ad Parnassum deals exclusively with instrumental music of the 18th and 19th centuries. The journal, which appears each year in April and October, accepts contributions in Italian, English, French, Spanish and German.

Each issue includes articles of major scholarly interest (each article is provided with an English summary), a debate of musicological interest, reviews of books relevant to the journal’s field of interest and news.

Ad Parnassum is also complemented by monographs.

The publishing project has been undertaken by Ut Orpheus Edizioni of Bologna. The publishing house is one of the most active and dynamic in Europe in the field of Classical music publication. Ut Orpheus Edizioni, besides guaranteeing the high level of information technology demanded in the printing of the journal, arranges for its distribution on an international scale.

The founding of a periodical of cosmopolitan scope like Ad Parnassum has brought together numerous scholars of diverse nationalities. Roberto De Caro (Bologna), editor of the journal, is supported by an editorial committee consisting of musicologists with extensive experience in the specific field - a scholarly committee of great prestige. The journal also calls on the varied expertise of external collaborators.”

"The world's authority on classical music since 1923"

“ Haymarket dominates classical music magazine publishing in the UK, and we’re increasing our influence internationally.

In the UK, the combined sales of Gramophone, the world’s most respected classical music magazine, and Classic FM magazine, published in association with the radio station, give us 63 per cent of the market.

Our presence extends still further through major events such as the annual Gramophone Awards, which have a significant effect on sales of the winning recordings. The glittering Awards ceremony attracts a Who's Who of the classical music world.

Gramophone regularly partners with many of the planet’s leading arts organisations and broadcasters, while Classic FM magazine’s monthly cover-mounted CD attracts a host of blue chip sponsors.

Now, with bespoke US, Korean and Chinese editions, Gramophone’s international reach is also growing significantly, and we’re planning a strong presence online.”

Instruments and music first appeared in the 1760s (see *) but by the 1790s the cistre was in decline. …”

The pioneers of today’s flourishing early music movement – the people who put Baroque and earlier music back on the map – are fading into obscurity. A new blog, The Early Music Pioneers Archive (www.semibrevity.com), combines research with documents, video interviews, photographs and digitalized clips (from LPs, 78s and private recordings), to refocus attention on a host of musicians, scholars and instrument makers who deserve to be remembered. …”

“We left our home in the woods of upstate NY on September 6th, 2010 for a 7,000-mile concert tour – a road trip that took us to Oregon and back. Oddly enough, although we had taken a stack of CDs to listen to for inspiration and source material, we ended up listening to exactly one and one-half of them.  This blog is a series of thoughts and musings inspired by the conversations during the trip, about our approach to our music and the sometimes very satisfying, sometimes thought-provoking dilemma of presenting it to modern audiences.  We’re taking the time to do this because of our firm belief that music of the 16th century is not only relevant but essential in today’s world.

Our first post, a summary of the trip, will be followed by some of our sometimes surprising discoveries of what moves an audience, how ‘Early Music’ has evolved as a relevant medium for 21st-century audiences and why looking backwards prepares us for the future.  We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

all the best,

“This web site began on September 22, 2002, several years after I started playing Native American Flutes. I had started collecting resources on playing and making flutes that begged to be shared, and the Web was the best way to share this information. The original site, FluteKey.com, was a simple list of resources, including sheet music, fingering diagrams, measurements of the Anasazi flutes from the Broken Flute Cave, samples of the sounds of flutes in various keys, an on-line version of the NAFlutomat program to assist flute makers with construction measurements, and various sundry information.

Response was dramatic and traffic grew quickly. People were hungry for information! We continued to post topics over the years, largely in the realm of resources as opposed to actual flute instruction.  …”

“Nota Bene is a musicology journal developed by the Don Wright Faculty of Music at the University of Western Ontario. It seeks to publish essays of a high critical and rhetorical standard, written by undergraduate students from universities around the world.

• Nota Bene encourages a community of undergraduate musicology students and seeks to provide a venue for a nation-wide discourse in musicology
• Nota Bene provides information for young music students seeking more information about the discipline of musicology and its professional possibilities, offering a means for student communication through scholarly work and the academic publishing process.

Subscriptions

Nota Bene is freely accessible as an electronic publication through this website. Printed copies are sent to subscribing academic libraries, and to the individual authors whose work is published in each issue. To request a subscription for your institution, please contact the editors.”
