Aug 25, 2021 · In my view therefore, the key areas of work from an ethnomusicological perspective for performance practice as research might therefore include: Practice research for translational ethnomusicology: Analytically informed practice as research where practice research informs the analysis of musical meaning and structure (see Cook Citation 2018).

Despite the rocky history examined here, many ethnomusicologists do see the value of music theory and analysis, and a not insignificant number of us include them in our studies. As Gabriel Solis has argued [48.39, p. 533]: And Michael Tenzer contends [48.65, pp. 6–7]: That music theory and analysis are an integral part of ethnomusicological researc...
Over the last half-century, ethnomusicologists interested in analysis have been grappling with the lessons of anthropological study and relativism, and we have learned that we cannot apply the same analytical approaches to every music culture. The paradigmatic analysis that Arom used to unravel underlying models and rules of variation for Central A...
The rise of new computer technologies has provided many opportunities for ethnomusicological analysis in recent decades. The use of computers and other machines by ethnomusicologists is by no means new – Charles Seeger developed the Melograph for graphic transcription and the real-time analysis of pitch, dynamic, and timbre back in the 1950s – but ...
The interest in interdisciplinary approaches currently fueling the growth of CE has also helped to reinvigorate comparative research. This renewed focus opposes the general perception in the field [48.3, p. 315] Yet it seems premature to throw the baby out with the bath water. Comparative musicology was in many ways a groundbreaking, forward-lookin...
It seems, then, that many of the most innovative new directions in analytical ethnomusicology are interdisciplinary. So now the question becomes how to do work in a multidisciplinary project that speaks faithfully to each field involved. Whether or not we wish it were so, each field to some extent speaks its own language and has its own assumptions...
With all these opinions and methodologies at our disposal, the role of an ethnomusicologist now is to select, from an ever-expanding toolkit, those approaches best suited to the individual genre or piece under examination. Each may draw into focus (and conversely, obscure from view) certain aspects of the music, and thus the researcher may wish to ...

Nov 17, 2020 · Ethnomusicology is an area of study that encompasses distinct theoretical and methodical approaches to the study of music that emphasizes the cultural, social, material, cognitive, biological, and other dimensions or contexts of musical behavior instead of or in addition to its isolated sound component.
Ethnomusicology research consists of four main activities: interviews; participant-observation of musical events and community life; music and dance lessons; and audio and video recordings. Keywords: Deep Forest, ethnomusicology, Jewish music, Alan Lomax, Charles Seeger, Turkish Music. Subject.
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.

Jun 28, 2020 · It may overlap with what I identify as analysis, encompassing synthetic interpretation: it involves knowledge of cultural codes and other contextual information; Geertz only eschews the term ‘analysis’ because of associations with ‘the cipher clerk’ (Geertz 1973, 6–9). Geertz was certainly not antipathetic to the application of ...
