Ethnomusicology
Ethnomusicology is a multidimensional field that delves into the cultural and social contexts of music creation. It employs various approaches, including cultural, social, cognitive, and material dimensions, to comprehensively study musical behavior. This discipline explores not only the auditory aspects of music but also the broader cultural and experiential elements that shape it. Ethnomusicologists engage in firsthand research of "musicking," the active participation in musical performances. Emerging from folklore preservation efforts in the 19th century, ethnomusicology's name was coined by Jaap Kunst, deriving from the Greek words for "nation" and "music." While initially focused on non-Western music, it now encompasses all forms of music worldwide, analyzed through anthropological and sociological lenses.
