The occurrence and development of diseases such as the black plague, malaria, influenza, smallpox, syphilis, typhus, cholera, AIDS, and covid19 have determined, over time, some of the major social and cultural transformations in history. In this paper, through the prism of Western classical music, I will try to highlight some of these transformations. I will focus on the musical representation of these times of health crisis, including records of problems and symptoms related to various diseases in specific musical works, to which I will allude. I will also refer to the impact that epidemics and other infectious-contagious diseases had on institutions and diverse cultural dynamics, as well as to the marks they left on the life and work of composers of different genres, geographies, and historical periods.

O evento científico foi organizado pelo Grupo de Investigação em Artes (GiArtes), Núcleo de Investigação em Música (NIM), e contou com os apoios do Centro de Estudos Humanísticos (CEHUM), Escola de Letras, Artes e Ciências Humanas (ELACH) e do Departamento de Música, Universidade do Minho. Teve como principal objetivo colocar em evidência temas atuais de investigação sobre guitarra clássica, focando quatro eixos temáticos: 1) A investigação em performance musical no caso da guitarra: o estado da arte; 2) Discussão sobre aspetos técnico/interpretativos do repertório para guitarra; 3) A guitarra no contexto da música de câmara: repertórios e questões atuais; 4) O ensino da guitarra clássica nos vários níveis e contextos: questões teóricas e pedagógicas. Este evento deu lugar à elaboração do dossier temático do presente volume da Revista Diacrítica — Contextos, práticas e repertório(s) para Guitarra Clássica: perspetivas e temas atuais de investigação, que inclui nove artigos internacionais representativos que evidenciam a vitalidade e o interesse em torno das múltiplas abordagens à Guitarra Clássica, contribuindo para o conhecimento nesta área específica. Na introdução ao volume são ainda apresentados os artigos que compõem a secção Varia e que exploram temas literários e culturais.

This research proposes alternative strategies to facilitate and make the work of memorizing violin pieces easier and more effective. The proposed strategies were applied to a sample of ten master's students in violin in music education, using systematic observation and the design- based method. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive and inferential statistics, concluding that the proposed memorization strategies can be effective and can facilitate the memorization process.

Rhythm Wave, that has mutated in the present day into a community music group out with the formal sector, has been in existence for thirty years. And in the formal education context that is the nexus of this research, non-formal learning (NFL) and teaching ran contiguously with the instrumental pedagogy of the college’s popular music curricula. The ensemble started with Brazilian Samba instrumentation and a tiny cell of learners but grew to encompass varied rhythm styles and textures whilst developing a network of alumni mentors who honed their musical and social skills through both peer and musical leadership interactions. Key aspects of rhythm learning that occurred in this ensemble have emerged from semi-structured interviews and observations and the enhancement of formal curricular learning of rhythm is evident in the findings. This includes aspects shared with Green’s (2001, 2008, 2010, 2014) research into popular music practices and with the ongoing development of non-formal world music pedagogy (Murtadza; Walden; in Wright, Beynon, & Younker: 2016).
