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. Indeed, there has been a growth in this area of
scholarship in recent years. 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 programmes, 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. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Ethnomusicology Forum.
