Musicology

Biomusicology is the study of music from a biological point of view. The term was coined by Wallin (1991). Music is an aspect of the behaviour of the human and possibly other species. As humans are living organisms, the scientific study of music is therefore part of biology, thus the "bio" in "biomusicology". ...more on Wikipedia about "Biomusicology"

In diatonic set theory, a bisector divides the octave approximately in half and may be used in place of a generator to derive collections for which structure implies multiplicity is not true such as the ascending melodic minor, harmonic minor, and octatonic scales. Well formed generated collections generators and bisectors coincide, such as in the diatonic collection. The term was introduced by Jay Rahn (1977), who considers any division between one and two thirds as approximately half and who applied the term only the equally spaced collections. Clough and Johnson both adapt the term to apply to generic scale steps. Rahn also uses aliquant bisector for bisectors which may be used to generate every note in a collection, in which case the bisector and the number of notes must be coprime. Bisectors may be used to produce the diatonic, harmonic minor, and ascending melodic minor collections. (Johnson 2003, p.97, 101, 158n10-12) ...more on Wikipedia about "Bisector (music)"

Diatonic set theory is a subdivision or application of musical set theory which applies the techniques and insights of discrete mathematics to properties of the diatonic collection such as maximal evenness, Myhill's property, well formedness, the deep scale property, cardinality equals variety, and structure implies multiplicity. ...more on Wikipedia about "Diatonic set theory"

The New Musicology is a term applied to a wide body of work produced by many musicologists who consider themselves and their musicology neither new or New. Often based on the work of Theodor Adorno (and Walter Benjamin) and feminist, gender studies, gay and lesbian studies, queer theory, or postcolonial hypotheses, the New Musicology is the cultural study, analysis, and criticism of music. As Susan McClary says: ...more on Wikipedia about "New musicology"

Sound culture is an interdisciplinary field of studies which considers the "the material production and consumption of music, sound, noise and silence, and how these have changed throughout history and within different societies, but does this from a much broader perspective then standard disciplines" (Pinch and Bijsterveld, 2004). ...more on Wikipedia about "Sound culture"

"Constructions of Subjectivity in Franz Schubert's Music" was originally a presentation in which highly controversial musicologist Susan McClary set about to discuss how Franz Schubert's music may have been affected by his sexuality. At the time she was influenced by Maynard Solomon's allegations of Schuberts same-sex erotic activities in his "Franz Schubert and the Peacocks of Benvenuto Cellini." Following a presentation at the American Musicological Society in 1990 and a much sanitized but ill received version to the annual Schubertiade in 1992 the latter safe version was printed in the Gay/Lesbian Study Group Newsletter. Following evidence against Solomon's conclusions, the essay was renamed, again revised, and printed in Queering the Pitch: The New Gay and Lesbian Musicology. ...more on Wikipedia about "Susan McClary's constructions of subjectivity in Franz Schubert's music"

In folk music a tune-family is "a seeming multiplicity of melodies" reducible "to a small number of 'models' or sets". One can think of the models or sets as deep structures. Often "different tunes are the same" and "the same tune is different" (Burke 1978, p.124-5). ...more on Wikipedia about "Tune-family"
