Course description
This course presents the diverse, changing fields of current music research, surveying the topics of interest, research questions and methodologies of its central domains. Side by side with traditional music research domains, such as historical musicology or music theory and analysis, the course will present novel apporahces, developed in recent decades in rapport with diverse domains of scientific and humanistic inquiry. These include, for instance, the diverse domain of “new musicology,” inspired by contemporary critical discourse; music cognition and cognitive musicology, applying the research questions and methodologies of cognitive psychology to musical issues; and musical informatics, utilizing big data and advanced cpmputational methods to the study of music. We shall also survey current research of topics of interest which have moved from the margins of musicological inquiry to its center, such as popular music studies or studies of music performance.
The first part of the course (1st semester) presents traditional and current research methods in music theory and analysis, as well as some domains of empirical or quantitative music research, including music cognition, music performance research, and musical corpus studies.
