Musicology
Musicology (from Greek μουσική (mousikē), meaning ""music"", and -λογία (-logia), meaning ""study of-"") is the scholarly analysis of, and research on, music, a part of humanities. A person who studies music is a musicologist. For broad treatments, see the entry on ""musicology"" in Grove's dictionary, the entry on ""Musikwissenschaft"" in Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart, and the classic approach of Adler (1885).Traditionally, historical musicology (commonly termed ""music history"") has been the most prominent subdiscipline of musicology. In the 2010s, historical musicology is one of several large musicology subdisciplines. Historical musicology, ethnomusicology, and systematic musicology are approximately equal in size. Ethnomusicology is the study of non-Western music. Systematic musicology includes music acoustics, the science and technology of acoustical musical instruments, and the musical implications of physiology, psychology, sociology, philosophy and computing. Cognitive musicology is the set of phenomena surrounding the computational modeling of music. In some countries, music education is considered to be a prominent subfield of musicology, while in others it is regarded as a distinct academic field, or one more closely affiliated with teacher education, educational research, and related fields.The parent disciplines of musicology include general history; cultural studies; philosophy (particularly aesthetics and semiotics); ethnology and cultural anthropology; archeology and prehistory; psychology and sociology; physiology and neuroscience; acoustics and psychoacoustics; and computer/information sciences and mathematics. Musicology also has two central, practically oriented subdisciplines with no parent discipline: performance practice and research (sometimes viewed as a form of artistic research), and the theory, analysis and composition of music. The disciplinary neighbors of musicology address other forms of art, performance, ritual and communication, including the history and theory of the visual and plastic arts and of architecture; linguistics, literature and theater; religion and theology; and sport. Musical knowledge and know-how are applied in medicine, education and music therapy, which may be regarded as the parent disciplines of applied musicology.
