TITLE: Chronologically extreme notations in Albanian music writings

Forum on the topic Chronologically extreme notations in Albanian music writings comes as a contribution of two researchers in these fields: 1. Dr. Holta Sina will present an overview of the Berat Codexes (the first Byzantine-Albanian musical alphabet). 2. While in the second part of this forum, by the researcher Dr. Indira Çipa, will be treated Contemporary Notation used by Kosovar composers. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear scientific musicological arguments regarding the involvement of Albanian and Kosovar composers in the historical developments of music notation which lie in the time extremes that are separated from the long period of traditional notation.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Visually distinguish the types of notations
• Have information on Albanian creators who used these types of notations
• Expand the range of contemporary musical phenomena that can be used in their next creations

Target groups: students of MMPDM study programs (Modern Music, Digital Production, Management) – composition profile, and instrumental profile students, high school students, and other interested parties in the field
