Description

Ricercare is a annual, peer-reviewed, online journal edited by the Universidad EAFIT. It publishes research and research-creation articles with varying perspectives about music (historical, theoretical, interpretative, pedagogical, etc.). Additionally, it publishes scores that won a call or a competition, as a contribution to the distribution of music creation. Ricercare is aimed at national and international researchers and creators.

Starting in 2020, Ricercare will publish articles, scores and reviews in a continuous fashion; this means that once the evaluation and editorial processes are concluded, texts are published online, thus significantly shortening their release to the public.
