_Music in Art_ provides comprehensive coverage of research in music
iconography. It fosters communication between art historians,
musicologists, and ethnomusicologists engaged in the study of pictorial
representations of musical instruments, performance practice, theater, and
dance, and addresses issues relevant to music of both Western and
non-European cultures. In addition to scholarly articles on performance
practice, technical aspects of musical instruments, and theatrical
performances, it contains methodological articles, reports from the
national RIdIM centers on work within their countries, bibliographies, book
reviews, and information about conferences, exhibitions, and new
publications. The journal is of interest to music, art, dance, and theater
scholars.
The first issue of _Music in Art_ will be published in early 1999, on the
theme of 'Transmission and Transformation of Symbolic Images' (Guest
Editor, Ann Buckley).
