The Ethnomusicology of Western Art Music
Edited by Laudan Nooshin
Since the late 1980s, the boundaries between the ‘musicologies’ have become
increasingly blurred. Most notably, a growing number of musicologists have
become interested in the ideas and methodologies of ethnomusicology, and in
particular, in applying one of the central methodological tools of
ethnomusicology – ethnography – to the study of Western ‘art’ music, a
tradition which had previously been studied primarily through scores,
recordings and other historical sources. Alongside this, since the 1970s a
small
number of ethnomusicologists have also written about Western art music, thus
complicating the idea of ethnomusicology as the study of ‘other’ music.
Approaching western art music through the perspectives of ethnomusicology
can offer new and enriching insights to the study of this musical tradition,
as
shown in the writings presented in this book. The current volume is the
first collection of essays on this topic and includes work by authors from a
range of musicological and ethnomusicological backgrounds, exploring a
variety of issues including music in orchestral outreach programs, new
audiences for classical music concerts, music and conflict transformation,
ethnographic study of the rehearsal process, and the politics of a
high-profile music festival.
