Musicology () is the scholarly analysis of, and research on, music, a part of humanities. A person who studies music is a musicologist.〔John Haines, ''Eight Centuries of Troubadours and Trouvères: The Changing Identity of Medieval Music'' (Cambridge, 2004), '55.〕 For broad treatments, see the entry on "musicology" in Grove's dictionary, the entry on "Musikwissenschaft" in ''Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart'', and the classic approach of Adler (1885).〔Adler, Guido (1885). Umfang, Methode und Ziel der Musikwissenschaft. Vierteljahresschrift für Musikwissenschaft, 1, 5-20.〕 Traditionally, historical musicology (commonly termed "music history") has been the most prominent sub-discipline of musicology. In the 2010s, historical musicology is one of several large musicology sub-disciplines. Historical musicology, ethnomusicology, and systematic musicology are approximately equal in size.〔The numbers of active participants at international conferences suggests that the sub-disciplines are equal in size〕 Ethnomusicology is the study of non-Western music. Systematic musicology includes music acoustics, the science and technology of acoustical musical instruments, and the musical implications of physiology, psychology, sociology, philosophy and computing. Cognitive musicology is the set of phenomena surrounding the computational modeling of music. In some countries, music education is a prominent sub-field of musicology, while in others it is regarded as a distinct academic field, or one more closely affiliated with teacher education, educational research, and related fields. ==Parent disciplines== The parent disciplines of musicology include: * General history * Cultural studies * Philosophy (particularly aesthetics and semiotics) * Ethnology and cultural anthropology * Archeology and prehistory * Psychology and sociology * Physiology and neuroscience * Acoustics and psychoacoustics * Computer/information sciences and mathematics Musicology also has two central, practically oriented sub-disciplines with no parent discipline: performance practice and research (sometimes viewed as a form of artistic research), and the theory, analysis and composition of music. The disciplinary neighbors of musicology address other forms of art, performance, ritual and communication, including the history and theory of the visual and plastic arts and of architecture; linguistics, literature and theater; religion and theology; and sport. Musical knowledge is applied in medicine, education, and music therapy—which, effectively, are parent disciplines of applied musicology. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「musicology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
