	musicology - Encyclopedia.com
		The scholarly study of music of different historical periods was not practiced until the 18th cent., and few published efforts were rigorously researched.
		Today, the domain of musicology is defined by universities, where such study is centered, and includes study of form and notation, national, period, and personal styles, the lives of composers and players, musical instruments, acoustics, ethnomusicology, and aesthetics.
		Ironically, the study of musical compositions as such, as distinct from the study of data related to them, is not regarded as within the sphere of musicology but rather in the academically separate branch of study called music theory (see theory, in music).

	Historical musicology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Historical musicology is a field of study within the academic discipline of musicology.
		Historical musicology generally focuses on the history of European classical music examining such topics as the history of form and notation, the lives of composers and notable performers and the development over time of musical instruments and institutions such as orchestras and choirs.
		Historical musicology began as a discipline in the nineteenth century focusing on the contributions of earlier composers.

	Systematic Musicology
		The discipline of systematic musicology is less unified than its sister disciplines historical musicology and ethnomusicology: its contents and methods are more diverse and tend to be more closely related to parent disciplines, both academic and practical, outside of musicology.
		Historical musicologists and ethnomusicologists study the cultural and social contexts of music, and their methods and approaches are largely borrowed from disciplines such as history and cultural studies (mainly humanities) and cultural anthropology (a mixture of sciences and humanities).
		The main task of both musicology in particular and the humanities as a whole was understood, at least implicitly, to document the achievements of white male genius: musicology was implicitly racist and sexist and promoted a concept of genius that conflicts with the findings of modern empirical psychology (Howe, Davidson and Sloboda, 1998).

	Historical Musicology - NYU Music Department
		The Musicology program at New York University is one of the three tracks in the department - alongside Ethnomusicology, and Composition and Theory.
		This seems particularly important for students in musicology, for this field is in the process of a major creative cycle, rethinking its premises and processes.
		This has come about largely as a result of the strong influence of the ideas and practices of the other fields: all three are now increasingly concerned with sociological issues, the place of cultural policy, or relationships between composers, performers and public -- in the past as much as in the present.

	MUSICOLOGY & MUSIC DTP: Musical Information in ..
		The interest among historical musicologists and analysts in identifying paraphrase, resettings, and the like has always been strong, since some of the greatest subtlety of expression and richest meanings in Western music are conferred by musical reference and allusion.
		Much of the work of historical musicology over the past century has been based on editions of music carefully prepared to reflect precision and completeness and, in most cases, uniformity of approach.
		Historical musicology also engaged in a great range of corollary activities concerned with elaborating the history of composers, performers, musical institutions, and other cultural entities that have influenced the development of music.

	Aspects of the Profession
		Yet there is much that such a student could learn that would assist in his or her lifework: general methods of scholarship, mechanics of reference and bibliography, text-criticism, recording, filming, and archiving techniques, laboratory techniques such as pitch and tempo measurement, and so forth.
		I do not advise my graduate students in historical musicology to resurrect inferior composers of the past, and by the same token I am not ready to treat all non-Western musics as equally worthy of study.
		Both historical and ethnic musicologists, then, are divided in their opinions as to whether to place music or man at the center of their studies.

	About the Division of Musicology and Ethnomusicology
		The Division of Musicology and Ethnomusicology at any given moment has between 40 and 50 graduate students registered, more or less equally divided between majors in Historical Musicology and majors in Ethnomusicology.
		Historical Musicology currently has more Ph.D. students than M.M. students, while Ethnomusicology currently has more M.M. students than Ph.D. students, but the numbers fluctuate from year to year.
		In Historical Musicology, teaching assistantships are available for the freshman-level music appreciation course for non-majors, Introduction to Western Music (MUS 302L) and for the three-semester music history survey for music majors (MUS 313M, 313N, and 330M).

	Ideas for a Musicology of Electroacoustic Music
		The musicology of electroacoustic music has been reviewed by Landy (1999) in accordance with the traditional division of the discipline: historical musicology, systematic musicology and ethnomusicology, plus critical musicology.
		A systematic musicology of electroacoustic music cannot embrace the ‘note’ as the unit of musical discourse: this theme has been extensively developed by Schaeffer (1966) and echoes in the dilemmas of musical analysis vis-à-vis atonal music and of ethnomusicology vis-à-vis transcription and description of the musics of aural tradition.
		The historical musicology of electroacoustic music has elected the elektronische/concrète dichotomy as founding myth and Leitmotif [9] to reduce it to a dichotomy of equipment (synthesizers and tape recorders), material (electronic and recorded sounds), method (total serialism and collage) or temperament (rationality and intuitiveness).

	Jos Kunst: Music and communication (1978)
		A behavioural variant of musicology is postulated, located among the behavioural sciences, and shown to provide an important epistemological foundation not only for historical musicology, but specifically also for sociomusicology.
		In the eyes of some, most musicology is just applied history, and has been, even as such, remained entirely shielded off from the foundational troubles that have beset the history departments proper.
		Now obviously, and quite apart from the intrinsic value of the enterprise, historical musicology would greatly profit from a scientific analysis of what this "understanding of music" consists of, not only where problems of interpreting historical facts are concerned, but also, and perhaps more importantly, from a heuristical viewpoint: in the fact-finding process itself.
