	About the Graduate Program
		Musicology embraces the study of history, theory, and practice of music from many points of view; graduate study in musicology may cover approaches such as historical and ethnographic investigation as well as music theory, hermeneutics, and criticism.
		Also in the second semester of their first year, musicology students are given an examination to evaluate their control of music theory, consisting of an orally presented analysis of an assigned work from the late 18th to the early 20th century, with a week or two for preparation.
		For students of musicology (whether concentrating in history, theory, or ethnomusicology) the General Examination, normally taken in May of the second year, is in six general fields, chosen during the first three semesters in consultation with and with the approval of the faculty.

	Biomusicology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As humans are living organisms, the scientific study of music is therefore part of biology, thus the "bio" in "biomusicology".
		Biomusicologists are expected to have completed formal studies in both biology or other experimental sciences and musicology including music theory.
		The three main branches of biomusicology are evolutionary musicology, neuromusicology, and comparative musicology.

	Ethnomusicology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ethnomusicology (from the Greek ethnos = nation and mousike = music), formerly comparative musicology, is the study of music in its cultural context, cultural musicology.
		It can be considered the anthropology or ethnography of music.
		While musicology contends to be purely about music itself (almost always Western classical music), ethnomusicologists are often interested in putting the music they study into a wider cultural context.

	Bloomsbury.com - Research centre
		Comparative musicology was understood to be the study of 'exotic' music, that is of musical cultures outside the European tradition, and was therefore thought of as the primitive and Oriental branch of music history.
		As a scientific discipline it was regarded as fundamentally distinct from conventional, European musicology.
		In 1950 Kunst wrote that, 'The study-object of comparative musicology is mainly the music and musical instruments of all non-European peoples, including both the so-called primitive peoples and the civilized Eastern nations'.

	Systematic Musicology
		In Germany and central Europe, systematic musicology is represented by the Fachgruppe Systematische Musikwissenschaft of the Gesellschaft für Musikforschung and by the International Cooperative in Systematic and Comparative Musicology.
		In Adler's original formulation, comparative musicology was part of systematic musicology, but by the middle of the 20th century, ethnomusicology had established itself as a separate, third subdiscipline of musicology.
		Although they define the term musicology in its broad sense, according to which historical musicology is just one of many musicological subdisciplines, they generally use it in the narrow sense of historical musicology, or a musicology in which historical musicology is central and other subdisciplines are peripheral or subordinate.

	[No title]
		It was the scientific approach to ethnomusicology or 'comparative musicology' as it was then known, that formed the principles upon which the Berlin School of Comparative Musicology was based.
		Comparative musicology was looking for new methods, and as Europe was still recovering from five years of conflict, America was the ideal arena in which to develop these methods and throw off the shackles of pre-War comparative methodology.
		This comparative study is extended to the study of music as a part of culture and in a holistic approach to music (Nettl, 1983: 11).

	Ethnomusicology
		Historically, ethnomusicology has generally avoided the subject matter and some of the methodology of Musicology (which may be logically understood as that subdiscipline of Ethnomusicology dealing primarily with Western European notated traditions).
		This had previously replaced Guido Adler's term of 1885, 'Musikologie,' to denote the sub-species of 'Musikwissenschaft' (musicology) that was concerned with 'ethnographic aims'.
		Many ethnomusicologists, aware that 'ethnomusicology' implies distinctions which their own research has proven untenable (between 'ethnics' and 'non-ethnics,' between 'ethno-music' and 'music,' between monolithic concepts of the 'west' and the 'non-west,' and even between 'ethnomusicology' and 'musicology'), are unhappy with the term.

	Understanding Ethnomusicology
		The discipline Ethnomusicology branched out of Musicology because of the ardent desire of many Western musicologists to study non-western music which exist with oral traditions and especially with the tribal and village communities of the non-western countries.
		The term Ethnomusicology was introduced by Jaap Kunst, a Dutch Musicologist in 1950, though the discipline was in existence in the name of comparative musicology from the late 19th Century.
		After World War II, the term comparative musicology was not favoured by many musicologists and one of them was Jaap Kunst, the Dutch Ethnomusicologist who argued that, "the term (comparative musicology) is not entirely satisfactory.

	RILM Conference: Music's Intellectual History
		However, mediaeval musicology, as a Roman or as a Gallican apologetic, was to emerge from this context, building progressively through phases of truce between the contending sides.
		He judged medieval polyphony by comparing it to his favorite composer Palestrina, arrived at a chronology on the basis of Palestrina’s style, applied criteria from the 19th-century autonomous art work in trying to attribute compositions to composers and establishing which version of a piece was first.
		Comparatively little attention, however, has been paid to determining precisely how, when, and on whose account gender tropes were used in the discourse about music of the German-speaking world, consequently entering the lexicon of Musikwissenschaft and, by extension, of musicology.

		The International Cooperative in Systematic and Comparative Musicology was founded, in 1993, during a meeting held in the Institute of Musicology, University of Hamburg.
		The goal of the Cooperative which is a scientific non-profit organization is to further research and exchange of ideas and results concerning systematic and comparative musicology on an international level.
		Researchers active in the fields of systematic, cognitive and comparative musicology as well as in neighbouring areas (musical acoustics, computer music, signal processing as related to music, perception and cognition of musical sounds, etc.) are welcomed to apply for membership which - for the time being - is free.

	UNDERSTANDING WORLD MUSICEthnomusicology
		The discipline Ethnomusicology branched out of musicology because of the ardent desire of many Western musicologists to study non-western music that had passed on from generation to generation through the oral tradition, especially the music of tribal and village communities.
		It may be said that from the publication of the Viennese scholar Guido Adler, 'Umfang Methodeund Zid Der Musikwissenschaft' (1885), the term Comparative Musicology was used for the study of non-Western music as a separate branch of musicology.
		He placed the prefix “Ethno” in front of the word Musicology with a hyphen to indicate that the study would be on the music of the races of man or ethnic groups.

		There is the study of sound and vibration or acoustics, the cognitive study of music, the study of music theory and performance practice or music theory and ethnomusicology and the study of the reception and history of music, generally called musicology.
		The earliest definitions of musicology defined three sub-disciplines: systematic musicology, historical musicology, and comparative musicology.
		In academic circles, the original term for the study of world music, "comparative musicology", was replaced in the middle of the twentieth century by "ethnomusicology", which is still an unsatisfactory definition.

	Ph.D. Exam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-02)
		Comparative musicology was the first formal name for what the people now called ethnomusicologists do.
		Growing unrest with the term "comparative" musicology, when comparison was not necessarily the aim of study, and an implied comparison with the West was not desired, led Jaap Kunst to coin the term "ethno-musicology" in a treatise of the same name.
		Comparative musicology, a name with formal recognition from the academy, became unsatisfactory in its implications; ethno-musicology, offerred in its stead, became the new name without its hyphen, which is now being debated in its turn.

		Rising from the ashes of comparative musicology, ethnomusicology was as much a type of anthropology as musicology; this is evidenced by the number of anthropologists involved in the early history of the Society of Ethnomusicology (SEM).
		Comparative musicology by definition required the comparison of various musical genres; ethnomusicologists felt that this comparison is not the sole purpose of their research, that an in-depth analysis of a specific musical culture was sufficient and necessary for possible further comparative research.
		Musicology was limited by its current keepers to the study Western Art Music, and anthropology “was still busily compiling ethnographies of moribund tribelets.” Ethnomusicology sat somewhere between the two.

	New Perspectives in Ethnomusicology: A Critical Survey
		Recently, for instance, one distinguished scholar claimed that ethnomusicology has been a part of musicology "ever since [Adler], in encyclopedia definitions and in actual academic practice", and that it is at the same time "a sub-discipline of anthropology" (Nettl 1992: 375), that is, a subsidiary of both musicology and anthropology.
		The "comparative musicology" developed by European scholars in the late 19th and early 20th century, with its evolutionistic assumptions, was anathema to a younger generation of North American scholars fuelled by idealistic enthusiasm for the "pure", "the aboriginal", and the "native".
		Contrastingly, in a development related to historical and comparative studies, orality and literacy emerged as an issue from the pioneering study by Albert Lord on the epic songs of the Balkans (1960).

		Comparative musicology began in the 1880s with the measurement of intervals.
		A third paradigm was ethnomusicology, associated with the birth of the Society for Ethnomusicology in the 1950s, which grafted in American anthropology, with its emphasis on fieldwork and cultural immersion, rather than survey work; in addition, ethnomusicologists tended to distrust broad comparative generalizations and produced, instead, monographs based on detailed studies of particular music- cultures.
		Comparative musicology and musical folklore both rely upon philology, or what we would call comparative linguistics, for their methods.

		Though the department does not offer separate programs in theory or ethnomusicology, students with strong interests in either of these areas are encouraged to pursue them in connection with one of the two focal programs (such students should indicate on their applications under which of the programs they would expect their studies primarily to fall).
		Students in all fields are encouraged to participate in courses or seminars in whichever program may be relevant to their particular interests.
		Early in the second semester of the first year in residence, each student will have submitted to the musicology faculty as a whole a written paper based on work done in one of the fall term courses or seminars.

		It reveals that painting and literature displayed a comparative tendency toward "musicalization," whereby the dynamic of forms (the modalities specific to each artistic medium), rather than subject matter, was believed to determine expression.
		However, many University officials misunderstood his interests, primarily based on a conception that the unfamiliar field of musicology was a "luxury" which the University could ill afford at the time.
		These are embedded in letters to parents, correspondence with former colleagues, progress reports and petitions to academic and bureaucratic authorities and several brilliant attempts to introduce non-European music to Europeans and rientals (Arab and Jews alike), who were urged to cherish their musical heritage.
