Topic: New Musicology


  
  New musicology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Musicology is a term applied to a wide body of work produced by many musicologists who consider themselves and their musicology neither new or New.
Often based on the work of Theodor Adorno (and Walter Benjamin) and feminist, gender studies, gay and lesbian studies, queer theory, or postcolonial hypotheses, the New Musicology is the cultural study, analysis, and criticism of music.
Thus, new musicology has much in common with ethnomusicology.

As Susan McClary says, "musicology fastidiously declares issues of musical signification off-limits to those engaged in legitimate scholarship." It is a measure of the rate at which scholarship in music is changing, though, that few would any longer consider such a statement to be valid.

One suggestion was the relationship of systematic to historical musicology from the point of view of cognitive musicology, although it is well known that these are thought to be quite far away from each other [19, 23].
New disciplines should be able to show much more convincing scientific results than are expected from studies representing existing paradigms, which have had time to show their scientific power.
Cognitive musicology might significantly broaden the research field of systematic musicology towards topics which, from a musical point of view, are of great interest and should be in the main focus of musicologists, but which have been neglected so far, partly because of the limitations of systematic research methods.

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.
The New Musicology is a term applied to a wide body of work produced by many musicologists who consider themselves neither new or New.
Often based on the work of Theodore Adorno and feminist or anti-colonial hypotheses, the New Musicology is the cultural analaysis and criticism of music.

 Ernest Bloch Lectures - 1999: Lecture 3
One of these is the so-called "new musicology." The new musicology is loosely guided by a recognition of the limits of human understanding, an awareness of the social milieu in which scholarship is pursued, and a realization of the political arena in which the fruits of scholarship are used and abused.
The influence of the new musicology is evident primarily in recent historical musicology and ethnomusicology, but it has proved broadly influential in all areas of music scholarship, including music education.
This new empirical enthusiasm is especially evident in the psychology of music and in the resurrection of systematic musicology.

 RILM Conference: Music's Intellectual History
Triggered by a new interest in Cold War studies, a new phase of Ligeti reception opened in 1985 when the question was posed as to how much his early work had been tarnished by the communist regime.
In fact, the aim of the new discipline was to investigate, collect, and classify different types of music in order to reconstruct music history after it was absent in the field of music culture for half a century.
The new musicology views itself as unmasking both music’s social truths and the political agendas of musicology that seek to repress such truths.

 [No title]
Nor is it news that such critiques have engendered among theorists a wide variety of responses--from outright horror to mere bemusement, from outraged cries for primitive justice (a Schenkerian tooth for a Foucauldian eye), to a reexamination of our fundamental principles, to, in a few cases, outright spiritual conversion.
And what the new theorists of the first generation of the modern discipline aspired to was the continuation and revitalization of that tradition.
Of course, the other foil for the new musicology was the "old" musicology, a musicology that still focused on the work and on the canon, and that was less inclined to question the ideology and politics on which both the canon and musicology itself were based.

 MTO 2.4: Analyzing music under the new musicological regime
Lawrence Kramer admits that "the new conceptual modes are too motley a grouping to form a school, and too critical of grand syntheses to admit of one." He nevertheless offers the single most forthright statement about the new musicology that I have come across.
Since analysis is associated with formalism, and since the new musicology is, among other things, an anti-formalist movement, and since the discipline of theory is constituted in large measure by practicing analysts, it would seem that the aims of theory and the new musicology are fundamentally incompatible.

 Music and Deconstruction
The new (post-structuralist or post-modern) musicology is based on a criticism and deconstruction of musicological objectivism, the general idea of the autonomy of (the theory of) music.
This 'emergent desire' (Sweeney-Turner) for musicology to finally engage with contemporary critical discourse in general and deconstruction in particular is commonly regarded as a bare necessity.
The supporters of a 'new musicology' try to join a more general cultural debate; for example, by bringing in post-structuralism and deconstruction in order to free traditional musicology from its isolation, with the hope of simultaneously lifting classical music from its increasingly marginal position as well.

 The Myth of Musicology: Part 2
She briefly describes the development of the discipline, its three fundamental tenets, the various types of feminism, and the connection and problems of postmodern thought in relation to feminism as well as intellectual movements such as gender studies.
Similar to the other movements in musicology, queer music theory has been influenced by, and has borrowed methodological procedures from, feminist and poststructuralist writings (both music and non-music sources) as well as the disciplines of gay studies, gender studies, and the history of sexuality.
A second article, which also recapitulates some of the ideas of the new musicology, is Jonathan Stock's "New Musicologies, Old Musicologies: Ethnomusicology and the Study of Western Music," but the main focus is a discussion of the avoidance by musicologists of ethnomusicological approaches and how and why this has happened.

A "new musicology" may have something to teach music educators in terms of approaching music as a field of intellectual learning.
This new intervention of a whole new group of academic scholars, that is non-music therapy professionals, will also make necessary that the field of orthodox music therapy start interacting with a broader academic community.
If musicology is concerned about music as something intimately tied to human affect and meaning, or how musical meaning is of a participatory nature and inherently social, cultural and contextual, than music therapy may have a lot to offer musicologists in broadening their understanding of how music is personal, embodied and deeply human.

Kofi Agawu's article: Analyzing music under the new musicological regime is a strong defence for analysis.
As Agawu states, new musicology's insistence on recreating the boundaries of musical disciplines is a structuralist/formalist construct which formalism is trying to negate.
It is centering new musicology and marginalizing analysis.

If "new musicologists" and music therapists can meet in a shared interest in process, participation, and performance it is probably not because one of the "parties" has been sitting there as a wallflower waiting for the other to discover her.
These new articulations were of course made with a double edge: they were related to ideas about health and therapy, and also to notions of music.
By looking at musicology as a practice reflecting on the possibilities and problems of analysis, a good deal can be learned though, also from studying the history of "solutions and their rejections".

 MTO 2.2: McCreless, Comtemporary Music Theory and the New Musicology
ABSTRACT: Continuing tensions between contemporary music theory and the new musicology suggest the need for music theorists to step back and look at their discipline in terms of the fresh perspective that the new musicology offers--a task that the following essays by Scott Burnham, Marion Guck, Matthew Brown, Joseph Dubiel, and Kofi Agawu undertake.
It is easy enough to read the relationship of contemporary music theory and the new musicology in Foucault's terms.
Watching the new musicology produce and appropriate its own brand of power, we look on and wonder if it is doing to us what we did to composers and musicologists of a generation ago.

 Current Musicology
Current Musicology (CM) is a leading forum for scholarly music research, seeking to reflect the forefront of thought in historical musicology, ethnomusicology, and music theory, as well as music cognition, philosophy of music, and interdisciplinary studies.
CM was founded in 1965 by graduate students at Columbia University as a semiannual review that would primarily serve the needs of musicologists who are about to undertake, are presently engaged in, or have recently completed their graduate studies.
The term 'musicology' in the journal's title is to be understood in the broadest sense possible.

When Elizabeth Upton started her job as musicology professor at UCLA, she was not prepared for the initiation process: creating a new general enrollment course.
But as with all the faculty at the musicology department, Upton was expected to create a new course entirely from scratch rather than take over older courses and dust them off.
The inclusion of popular music has been part of a new trend in musicology, derogatively called "New Musicology." This school of thought seeks to interpret musical works as indicative of larger historical and cultural issues.

It is too important a cultural force to be shrouded by mystified notions of Romantic transcendence." This may be interpreted as saying there is no absolute music, that all music has sexual, political, personal and emotional programss.
It is an idea that generates studies the goal of which (or at least one important goal of which) is to articulate something essential about why any particular music is the way it is in particular, that is, to achieve insight into the character of its identity."

While it may not end up being ranked as an utter masterpiece in Prince's own canon, "Musicology" is definitely one of the better releases over the past two or three years of any description (not hard, perhaps, since it's been a reasonably light couple of years).
