La pluralidad discursiva manifiesta en la actual música popular se encuentra enmarcada en una realidad estético-musical cambiante, causada por una postmodernidad social cada vez más abierta a la globalización de las expresiones culturales de los pueblos. Es dentro de esta dinámica social que emerge la figura creativa de Alejandro García Villalón Vi...

In 1945, Norman Cazden published a groundbreaking article in the literature on consonance perception. In this seminal work, Cazden combined historical, musicological, and theoretical arguments to assert that the Pythagorean approach to consonance, based on integer ratios, lacked substantiation. Recent empirical evidence has bolstered Cazden’s persp...

From the very beginning, phenomenology met with sound inquiry. Not only the relationship between Husserl and Stumpf, whose investigations influenced numerous philosophers and twenty-century trends, but a whole musicological thread (Mersmann, Eimert, Güldenstein, Bekker) referred to phenomenology during the twenties and following decades (Besseler,...

In 1979, Sebastián Arroyo revealed “the secrets of the water and the land” to Orlando Fals Borda, who from then on began to speak of the culture of the “amphibious man”. This analogy spread throughout the Depresión Momposina (Momposina Depression) and was used both by its inhabitants and by researchers from various disciplines, including musicology...

Reflecting on the relevance of music genres today more than ever requires a circular relationship between theoretical thinking, corporate strategies and empirical inquiry.

According to musicologist Christopher Small, the treatment of music in musicology carries fundamentally flawed historical premises. Instead of focusing on music through art „objects“, anything understood as „music“ should be examined on the grounds of its spatiotemporal appearance, as a social activity of musicking and the unfolding event. The emph...

The concept of the Vienna School of Comparative Musicology, later renamed as Vienna School of Comparative-Systematic Musicology, plays an important role in received historical accounts of musicology in twentieth-century Austria (used as shorthand for the various political entities to which the territory of post-World War II Austria belonged). The c...

This paper reflects on the existence or absence of Latin American musicology as a unified field. Firstly, it shows that specialists tend to characterize it by the scarcity of resources, its late appearance, and its significant gaps in terms of knowledge. Then, it argues that, without prejudice to their partial validity, these beliefs imply devaluin...

En el título escogido para el congreso de 2024 se juega con la amplitud de campos semánticos y resonancias de las palabras «historia» y «conexión»: «Historia», entendida como la disciplina que sirve de referente a buena parte de nuestra actividad investigadora; e «Historias», en plural, dada la riqueza y diversidad de ramas y paradigmas que en la a...

Renowned for its 400-year-old Ottoman/Turkish/Armenian past and produced by “America's oldest family-run business,” the Zildjian cymbal is paradoxically rendered an unremarkable “humble object” in its assumed inclusion in orchestras and bands around the world. Tracing the lineages of the Zildjians and their cymbals through historical documentation,...

The legacy of Arnold Schoenberg's thought and work shifted the manner that theorists and composers understood music. As the major proponent of the modern period of music, Schoenberg defended the interaction between aesthetics and technology, and his twelve-tone technique expressed the thinker's devotion to freedom in composition. This iconoclast st...

El villancico es un género que ha suscitado un creciente interés en la musicología hispanoamericana.
