The established Annual Conference was this year organized in collaboration with the British Forum for Ethnomusi- cology, and was hosted between 4 and 7 April at Queen’s University Belfast. The chosen theme, ‘Ethnomusicology in the Digital Age’, facilitated very engag- ing and productive academic discussions, as well as ensured the vibrant presence and contribution of junior scholars and postgraduate students. The event featured a large number of delegates and a very high standard of presentations, epitomized by Leslie C.

Thus, the interdis- ciplinary nature of institutions such as the Ethnomusicology Laboratory of the Institute of Civilization of the Univer- sity of Antananarivo (which includes archaeologists, historians, sociologists, and linguists) has greatly contributed to acknowledge ethnomusicology as a discipline to better understand the origin of Madagascar’s population.

One Common Thread: The Musical World of Lament (Humanities Research Volume XIX No. 3. 2013) Wild, Stephen, Di Roy, Aaron Corn, and Ruth Lee Martin, eds.

This volume includes a selection of papers based on those presented at the 21st ICTM Col- loquium on La- ments, held in Can- berra, Australia, on 20-22 April 2011.

The concept of laments was broadly conceived as ‘the musical expression of loss and bereavement’. There were three main themes: (1) loss of place/ displacement; (2) personal loss, death, funerals; and (3) cultural loss/language loss. Musical cultures represented in the colloquium included Scots Gaelic, Chinese Australian, Fijian, Hawaiian, Mongolian, Irish, Irish Australian, Uzbekistani, Western popular music, Papua New Guinean, and Australian Aboriginal. Most of the presentations appear as papers in the published volume.
