Mit der Publikation sämtlicher sechs- und achtstimmigen Motetten sowie aller Kanons schließt der vierte Band der NSE die Neuausgabe der Motetten Ludwig Senfls ab. Darunter finden sich Senfls berühmte Überarbeitung des Ave, Maria … Virgo serena von Josquin Desprez und die drei für die Zeit außergewöhnlich groß besetzten und mutmaßlich für Staatsereignisse komponierten achtstimmigen Motetten. Der Band enthält darüber hinaus sämtliche als reine Kanons konzipierten Werke, etwa den dreiteiligen Doppelkrebskanon Crux fidelis – Ecce lignum crucis – O crux, ave, das mit 3–6 Stimmen zu singende Laudate Dominum oder den Rätselkanon Salve, sancta parens, der ein magisches Quadrat bildet. Neben den wissenschaftlichen Editionen bietet der Band zahlreiche Abbildungen sowie umfassende Kritische Berichte zu jedem Werk, die über die Texte, Choralvorlagen und den werkgeschichtlichen Kontext informieren. With the publication of all six- and eight-part motets as well as all canons, the fourth volume of the NSE completes the new edition of Ludwig Senfl’s motets. Among them are Senfl’s famous re-working of Josquin Desprez’ Ave, Maria … Virgo serena, the three eight-part motets with an unusually large scoring for the time (presumably composed for state occasions). The volume also contains all works conceived as pure canons, such as the three-part double canon Crux fidelis – Ecce lignum crucis – O crux, ave, the Laudate Dominum for 3–6 voices, and the riddle canon Salve, sancta parens, which forms a magic square. In addition to the scholarly editions, the volume offers numerous illustrations as well as comprehensive critical reports on each work, including information on the texts, plainchant models, and the historical context of the works.

Gleich geht es los; die Salon Performance Sundays at Salka's: Musik, Literatur und Film im amerikanischen Exil im Schönbrunner Schlosstheater kann endlich stattfinden! Nach mehreren Verschiebungen der Konferenz „Music Across the Ocean: Processes of Cultural Exchange in a Transatlantic Space, 1800–1950“, die den Rahmen bot, soll die Performance auch einem nichtwissenschaftlichen Publikum Einblick in die Forschung geben. Ein buntes Publikum aller Altersgruppen wartet im Foyer und im Schlosshof vor dem Eingang. Der verhangene Himmel, der später zu einem stürmischen, regnerischen Abend werden soll, gibt einen Vorgeschmack auf den bevorstehenden Herbst. Das Foyer des Schönbrunner Schlosstheaters wirkt mit seinen weißen Wänden beinahe puristisch; der Blick nach oben jedoch eröffnet eine andere Welt: Das Gewölbe gibt den Blick stellenweise auf einen „Himmel“ frei, an dem Vögel kreisen.

Inclusive education has become an important term in educational science discourse. While integration focuses on the incorporation of a small ‘special’ group into a larger one, inclusive groups take the requirements of a heterogeneous and diverse group into account from the very beginning. The educational environment is designed accordingly to allow for equal participation of all.

The Music Therapy with Families Network and the Music Therapy Research Centre Vienna as part of the the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna organised an inspiring Music Therapy Symposium in Vienna, from 23rd-25th September 2022. The event was the first international stand-alone symposium focused on Music Therapy with Families. The focus has been on families across the age-span, from music therapy work with children and their families to practice with elderly people and their relatives. It included a lively programme of innovative, multidisciplinary, interactive sessions and presentations which encouraged discussion about a broad range of approaches when working with families.

This article is not a detailed discussion or even can outline of inclusive music didactics, and it does not present a collection of methods that could serve as a reference work. The intention of this contribution is rather to select and present, perhaps in an unconventional way, five methodological-didactic aspects of artistic-pedagogical work in inclusive musicmaking groups with people with disabilities and to pose guiding questions that can be answered in such a way that conditions for successful inclusive music-making become clear. The elaboration of these conditions of success – I like to call them conditions of happiness – should encourage us to reflect on our own actions and practices and to remain in search of what makes us happy together.

Composed to mark Franz Joseph's state visit to Wilhelm II, Strauss' Kaiser Walzer (Emperor Waltz) provokes the question: which Emperor was it for? We investigate this in a case study of interdisciplinary collaboration in digital musicology, employing a FAIR data multimedia corpus associated with the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Concerts.

How are music and sound involved in the creation of audiovisual documents? What kind of quantitative and qualitative research permits the examination of music and, more generally, sound for Austrian (music) history on the basis of digitized audiovisual sources? These questions were approached in the interdisciplinary Digital Humanities project “Telling Sounds” at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Vienna. This volume consists of various case studies conducted by the members of the team. The project’s main task was the conception and development of a Digital Humanities research tool: LAMA – Linked Annotations for Media Analysis. It was designed for the purpose of using machine-readable open data to annotate and link the ways in which music has been used and contextualized in different audio and audiovisual media texts in different times throughout Austrian history. Each of the case studies is dedicated to different genres of music, media texts, and events or timespans in history.
