AbstractIn historical musicology, the variety canticles contained in religious mission songbooks is better known today; this is based on the research that has been completed over the past decade. However, one important question remains to be answered: that is, were some Native People capable of reading music? If so, to what degree did they understand musical notation? Despite the paucity of information on this subject, the author has attempted to shed some light on reading musical notation among Native People residing at various missions, by comparing contemporary testimonies and fragmentary written documents from the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as the beginning of the next century.

At the symposium Qu'en est-il du goût musical dans le monde au XXIe siècle? (What has become of musical taste in the world in the 21st century?) held at the Faculty of Music of the University of Montreal from February 28 to March 2, 2013, a panel brought together music critics Renaud Machart (France), Anne Midgette (US) and André Péloquin (Quebec, Canada) around the question “How has the act of music criticism participated in the edification of the musical taste of readers/listeners?” Addressed during this exchange was a series of issues including the goals of musical criticism, its influence on readers-listeners, but also the ethical obligations of the critic, and the outlook for this activity. The three panelists' viewpoints differed on many levels, reflecting the diversity of the musical genres they cover, of their respective professional trajectories, and of the geographical contexts within which they work.
