Computational Evolutionary Musicology
The beginning of Chapter 2 offered a sensible definition of music as temporally organized sound. In the broader sense of this definition, one could arguably state that music is not uniquely human. A number of other animals also seem to have music of some sort. Complex vocalizations can be found in many birds (Marler and Slabbekoorn 2004), as well as in mammals such as whales (Payne and McVay 19...
متن کاملComparing music, comparing musicology
My aim in this chapter is to offer some observations on the past, present and future of comparison in musicology. These comments concern the necessity of comparison, but also the profound difficulties it presents: understanding both the importance and problems of comparison is an important part of any cultural study of music. In order to introduce and to illustrate these observations, I will ma...
متن کاملFour principles of bio-musicology
As a species-typical trait of Homo sapiens, musicality represents a cognitively complex and biologically grounded capacity worthy of intensive empirical investigation. Four principles are suggested here as prerequisites for a successful future discipline of bio-musicology. These involve adopting: (i) a multicomponent approach which recognizes that musicality is built upon a suite of interconnec...
متن کاملTwo Challenges in Cognitive Musicology
Two themes in music cognition research are highlighted--inspired by the contributions in this volume: (a) statistical learning and (b) evolutionary theorizing. Our ability to test alternatives to statistical learning is threatened by the rapidly diminishing opportunities for cross-cultural studies unconfounded by bimusicalism. Our ability to infer possible evolutionary origins for music is conf...
متن کاملBiography and the New Musicology
While modern musicology has seen the frequent exploration of issues of historiography and canonicity, biography itself has largely eluded critical investigation until much more recently. The discipline has lately challenged the aesthetic of musical canon, for many decades a largely uncontested phenomenon, as well as that of the Great Composer. Recent scholarship has similarly addressed the matt...
