To announce the publication of the latest issue of the Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology (2016), a short message from the Editors-in-Chief Jason Mile and Rebecca Shaw: "On behalf of the Don Wright Faculty of Music at Western University Canada, it is our pleasure to present the ninth volume of Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology. This issue speaks to the diversity of the international undergraduate music community, with papers from South Africa, Serbia, Hong Kong, the United States of America, and Canada. Each essay brings fresh insight to a different topic, from fifteenth-century harmony to the instigation of Wagner’s nationalism; gender and gerontology in Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier; activist music from the Liberian Ebola crisis; and the Turkish Alevi’s use of the bağlama as a unifying symbol. These essays reflect the high standard of undergraduate musicological discourse at institutions around the world." &#160;Image source (licence free): http://barnimages.com/writing-a-letter-2/
