The Baltic Musicology Conferences are biannual meetings of Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian musicologists. The recent times the conference gathers musicologists not only from Baltic States – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, but also from other countries. The organizers of the 42nd Conference of Baltic Musicology were proud to welcome scholars from 12 countries with a geographic diversity of many European countries, Russian Federation and New Zealand. After year and a half we are proud to present a special edition of the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Music Academy scientific articles, devoted to the both themes of the conference – Music and Identities: The Baltic Sea Region in the 21st Century and New Approaches to Music Analysis. The first theme of the conference, related to music in its social and cultural contexts had an aim to ascertain the role of music in the construction of social and cultural identity and its development, as well as to analyse the influence of identity on the process of composition and its results. The articles devoted to this theme reveal diverse aspects of the national identity 5 and music, the local and the global in music, identities in musical genres and styles, composers’ individual style, the role of gender, etc. The whole diversity presented in the articles portrays the contemporary world where musical dimensions broaden permanently and the construction of local identities has to be observed within wider and multi-referential contexts. The second theme of the conference – New Approaches to Music Analysis – brought insights of many aspects of the topic, including aural analysis, mathematic and computer-assisted methods/tools of analysing music, interdisciplinary approaches, psychoanalytical inquires, etc. The diversity of the selected themes ascertains the importance of inquiry in new approaches – the issue that will probably never loose its importance. Gundega Šmite Chairperson of the Latvian Composers’ Union Priekšvārds 2010. gada 28. un 29. oktobrī Rīgā notika 42. Baltijas muzikoloģijas konference, kuru organizēja Latvijas Komponistu savienība un Jāzepa Vītola Latvijas Mūzikas akadēmija. Baltijas muzikoloģijas konferences tiek rīkotas reizi divos gados, pulcējot muzikologus no Baltijas valstīm – Igaunijas, Latvijas un Lietuvas. Pēdējos gados tajās piedalījušies zinātnieki arī no daudzām citām valstīm: piemēram, 42. Baltijas muzikoloģijas konferences organizētāji jutās pagodināti par iespēju iekļaut konferences programmā 12 pasaules valstu (Eiropas zemju, Krievijas, Jaunzēlandes) mūzikas zinātnieku pieteikumus. Tagad, pēc pusotra gada, ar prieku piedāvājam Jāzepa Vītola Latvijas Mūzikas akadēmijas zinātnisko rakstu speciālizdevumu; tajā apkopoti raksti, kas veltīti abām konferences tēmām – Mūzika un identitātes: Baltijas jūras reģions 21. gadsimtā un Jaunas pieejas mūzikas analīzē. Pirmā konferences tēma saistīta ar mūzikas sociālo un kultūras kontekstu; tās ietvaros izvērtēta mūzikas loma sociālās un kultūras identitātes veidošanā, kā arī analizēta identitātes ietekme uz kompo­ nēšanas procesu un tā rezultātu. Raksti, kas veltīti šai tēmai, atklāj visdažādākos aspektus tādos jautājumos kā nacionālā identitāte un 6 mūzika, lokālais un globālais aspekts mūzikā, žanra un stila identitāte, komponista indi viduālais stils, dzimuma identitāte u. c. Šīs tēmas sadaļā ietvertie raksti attēlo laikmetīgu pasauli – vidi, kurā mūzikas dimensijas pastāvīgi paplašinās un lokālās identitātes tapšanā liela loma ir plašākiem, daudznozīmīgiem kontekstiem. Otra konferences tēma – Jaunas pieejas mūzikas analīzē – sniedz padziļinātu ieskatu vairākos izziņas aspektos: pētījumu centrā ir dzirdes sonoloģija, matemātikas un kompjūtertehnoloģiju lietojums mūzikas analīzē, interdisciplināra pieeja, psihoanalītiska izziņa u. c. Izraudzīto tēmu daudzveidība apliecina jauno analīzes metožu izvērtējuma nepārejošu aktualitāti. Gundega Šmite Latvijas Komponistu savienības Valdes priekšsēdētāja 1st theme.

Vor allem die Universität sorgt dafür, dass Greifswald die jüngste Stadt Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns ist; als größter Arbeitgeber stellt sie auch einen wichtigen Wirtschaftsfaktor dar. Insbesondere auf dem Gebiet der Plasmaphysik und deren inter- disziplinärer Anwendung hat sich Greifswald in den vergangenen Jahren zu einem national und international beachteten Wissen- schafts-, Technologie- und Forschungsstandort entwickelt.
