Ethnomusicology. The scholarly study of music, broadly conceived to include music as object, as social practice, and as concept. 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 Eu...
As in other countries, the study of music cultures in the area now called Canada has changed in relation to the interests of the observers or writers. The earliest European travellers, missionaries, and settlers were curious about contrasts between the performances and social contexts they observed in the New World and those of the European society...
This period was characterized by an emphasis on collecting, for purposes of amateur performance, commerce, nationalism (to establish national identity based on folk heritage), or preservation of traditions perceived as dying. The Canadian frontier captured the imagination of central European ethnologists, and in the 1890s Canada became one of the f...
Scholarship in the 20th century has exhibited a diversity of approaches developed in folklore and anthropology as well as music research. Certain characteristics distinguish the studies done in Euro-Canadian communities from those in Native communities (although Marius Barbeau, Helen Creighton, and Kenneth Peacockhave researched in both). Native mu...
The outstanding collections of Gagnon and LaRue inspired a great deal of research which emphasized collection, careful textual transcription, and the codification of variants. The outstanding efforts of Marius Barbeau broadened the scope of research which subsequently became less concerned with portraying Canada as a repository for archaic European...
As in French Canada, the majority of researchers in English Canada during this period concentrated on collecting, and folklore studies to a large extent outnumbered musicological and anthropological ones. A romantic and narrow concept of 'folk' confined the conceptual scope of much of the early scholarly work, as well as the geographical scope, whi...
Although the earliest collection of material in a non-indigenous language other than French or English - Alexander Fraser's 'The Gaelic folk songs of Canada' - was published in 1903 (TRSC, series 2, vol 9, section II), Canada's ethnic multiplicity was generally ignored among the research community in the first half of the century. This unfortunate ...
From the late 1970s on, Canadian ethnomusicologists' work increased dramatically in both substantive and theoretical scope, reflecting the maturing of ethnomusicology programs in universities, demographic shifts in Canadian society, and the public recognition of ethno-cultural diversity. While many studies were framed within a single ethnicity, a n...
In the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, Native music studies were sparked by a renewal of traditional values in many Native communities (facilitated in part by Elders Conferences, Inter-tribal Gatherings, and Native Cultural Centres), by the public debate of political issues regarding land and self-government, and by the concurrent fruition of ...
A shift from folk-song collection to studies of the socio-cultural embeddedness of folksong was evident from the late 1970s. One indication of this shift is the historical (reflexive) treatment of earlier activity, eg, in Gordon E. Smith's 'Ernest Gagnon (1834-1915): musician and pioneer folksong scholar,' (PH D thesis, University of Toronto 1989) ...

Feb 20, 2012 · Nettl himself, in a landmark article published in 1963, sought to apply the techniques of ethnomusicology to ‘western’ music by conducting a questionnaire survey of college students examining their classifications of music, and asking what these might reveal about aspects of culture beyond music.
