1 Major Research Areas Historical musicology and French musical heritage This area of scholarship deals primarily with western music and musical phenomena using a diachronic approach. Historical musicology may focus on composition, performance, criticism, or the popularity of a musical genre, or on an individual composer or musical style (secular music, religious music, music of the royal court, etc.) in a given period. French historical musicology employs various methods to study and analyze musical sources. These include historiography based on musical or stylistic analysis, iconography, linguistics, paleography and philology. In France, special importance is given to the study of the national musical heritage, such as the body of work of French lutenists and the monumental publication of the works of Lully. Ethnomusicology Etymologically, ethnomusicology refers to the music of other cultures. Thus it is sometimes known as musical ethnography or musical anthropology, depending on the subject and the methods employed in a given study. Although it is often considered to be the study of non-European music, ethnomusicology may take as its object of study a western musical phenomenon, seen from a sociological or anthropological point of view. French ethnomusicology studies multicultural musical and choreographic expressions in urban and suburban settings, as well as in France’s overseas territories and other parts of the French-speaking world Sociology of Music The sociology of music combines musicology and sociology to examine the social aspects of music and its role in society. Therefore it sometimes resembles ethnomusicology in its methods, although it emphasizes the observation of musical behaviors and interactions in society, often using questionnaires and economic data. The sociology of music generally focuses on musical phenomena in contemporary industrialized societies. Popular and commercial music This area of musicology studies recorded music and, by extension, the musical, technical, and social processes associated with recording. Scholars in this field grapple with the question of “music in the making”, a task that encompasses musical performance and interpretation in the studio, in rehearsal, and before a live audience. Among other things, this field deals with the history, sociology, and practice of current popular music such as jazz, rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronic. Musical theory, analysis and composition Musical theory focuses on music’s “internal operations,” primarily musical language and notation. The goal is to identify the mo- dels and structures at work in the techniques of individual com- posers, genres, styles, or historical periods. Generally speaking, musical theory analyzes the basic components of music: rhythm, harmony, melody, structure, form, texture, tone, and so on. Musical psychology, cognition, and learning The psychology of music is the scientific investigation of the relations between music and the human mind. It encompasses several cognitive disciplines dealing with emotion, learning, perception, language, and modeling. Historically, this branch of musicology has centered on studies of perfect pitch, tests of musical aptitude, tonal memory, musical creativity in children, the psychological function of cortical stimulation, and other facets of psychoacoustics and auditory perception. Acoustics and musical computing Musical acoustics is a branch of acoustics and musicology that studies the role and use of sound in musical creativity and perception. Scholars study the physical description of music, that is, how sound functions as musical sound. They examine different types of musical sound and sound-producing instruments and devices, including the human voice (spoken and sung), as well as computer analysis of melody and even the clinical use of music as therapy. Musicological Research in France It was in the nineteenth century that the term musicologie appeared in the French language to denote a scientific discipline devoted to musical theory, esthetics, history, creativity, and criticism.

Major Research AreasHistorical musicology and French musical heritageThis area of scholarship deals primarily with western music andmusical phenomena using a diachronic approach. Historicalmusicology may focus on composition, performance, criticism,or the popularity of a musical genre, or on an individualcomposer or musical style (secular music, religious music,music of the royal court, etc.) in a given period.French historical musicology employs various methods to studyand analyze musical sources. These include historiographybased on musical or stylistic analysis, iconography, linguistics,paleography and philology.In France, special importance is given to the study of thenational musical heritage, such as the body of work of Frenchlutenists and the monumental publication of the works of Lully.

EthnomusicologyEtymologically, ethnomusicology refers to the music of othercultures. Thus it is sometimes known as musical ethnography ormusical anthropology, depending on the subject and themethods employed in a given study.Although it is often considered to be the study of non-Europeanmusic, ethnomusicology may take as its object of study awestern musical phenomenon, seen from a sociological oranthropological point of view.French ethnomusicology studies multicultural musical andchoreographic expressions in urban and suburban settings, aswell as in France’s overseas territories and other parts of theFrench-speaking world

Sociology of MusicThe sociology of music combines musicology and sociology toexamine the social aspects of music and its role in society.Therefore it sometimes resembles ethnomusicology in itsmethods, although it emphasizes the observation of musicalbehaviors and interactions in society, often using questionnairesand economic data. The sociology of music generally focuseson musical phenomena in contemporary industrializedsocieties.

Popular and commercial musicThis area of musicology studies recorded music and, byextension, the musical, technical, and social processesassociated with recording. Scholars in this field grapple with thequestion of “music in the making”, a task that encompassesmusical performance and interpretation in the studio, inrehearsal, and before a live audience.Among other things, this field deals with the history, sociology,and practice of current popular music such as jazz, rock, pop,hip-hop, and electronic.

Musical theory, analysis and compositionMusical theory focuses on music’s “internal operations,” primarilymusical language and notation. The goal is to identify the mo-dels and structures at work in the techniques of individual com-posers, genres, styles, or historical periods. Generally speaking,musical theory analyzes the basic components of music: rhythm,harmony, melody, structure, form, texture, tone, and so on.

Musical psychology, cognition, and learningThe psychology of music is the scientific investigation of therelations between music and the human mind. It encompassesseveral cognitive disciplines dealing with emotion, learning,perception, language, and modeling.Historically, this branch of musicology has centered on studiesof perfect pitch, tests of musical aptitude, tonal memory,musical creativity in children, the psychological function ofcortical stimulation, and other facets of psychoacoustics andauditory perception.

Acoustics and musical computingMusical acoustics is a branch of acoustics and musicology thatstudies the role and use of sound in musical creativity andperception. Scholars study the physical description of music,that is, how sound functions as musical sound. They examinedifferent types of musical sound and sound-producinginstruments and devices, including the human voice (spokenand sung), as well as computer analysis of melody and even theclinical use of music as therapy.

MusicologicalResearch

in FranceIt was in the nineteenth century that the term musicologie appeared in the French language to denote a scientific discipline devotedto musical theory, esthetics, history, creativity, and criticism. Musical research–ars musica in the medieval lexicon, orMusikwissenschaft in German—has developed its own methods of research and scholarship derived from the humanities (literatureand linguistics), the social sciences (anthropology and ethnology), and exact sciences (physics and mathematics)The French tradition of theoretical and scientific study of music is long, comprising René Descartes (Abrégé de musique, 1618), Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Dictionnaire de musique, 1767), Jacques Chailley (Historical Treatise of Harmonic Analysis, 1951), Pierre Boulez(On Music Today, 1963). Music scholarship has developed alongside intense musical activity. In 2010, France’s 139 conservatoriesenrolled 140,000 students; 1,500 professional classical musicians gave 2,000 concerts; and 40,000 popular music concerts attractednearly 20 million listeners. Emblematic of research tied to musical practice—as exemplified by the recently established Doctorate ininterpretation—organizations such as the Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique (IRCAM, institute for acousticaland musical research and coordination) and the Cité de la Musique bring together musicians, composers, and scholars to collaborateon exploring and advancing the French ars musica.

RESEARCH AND PRACTICE: THE DOCTORATE IN INTERPRETATIONAt the interface of musical performance and musicological research is a Doctorate in musical interpretation that allows musicians to doresearch in connection with their playing. That research takes a traditional academic form (preparation of a dissertation) while also havinga performance component (one or more concerts). The doctorate is offered in three universities—Jean Monnet Saint Etienne, Lyon Lumière(Lyon 2) and Paris-Sorbonne (Paris 4)—in connection with the national conservatories of Paris and Lyon. The 3-year program includesinstrumental courses, research seminars, and the writing of a dissertation.• CNSMD de Lyon – Doctorate in musical interpretation in partnership with the universities Jean Monnet Saint Etienne and LyonLumière (Lyon 2), ED Lettres, langues, linguistique et arts (ED 484): http://www.cnsmd-lyon.fr/e.php?lsd=10x63x&cc=1101&tc=1

THE MUSEUMOF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

AT THE CITÉ DE LA MUSIQUE IN PARIS

http://mediatheque.cite-musique.fr/masc/

The Museum of Musical Instruments pursues a mission of pre-serving and promoting its collections of instruments, paintings,photos, and other music-related objects. Essential to that mis-sion is the museum’s laboratory, which manages restorations ofinstruments in the collection. As a research site, the lab operateswithin the fields of history and organology as well as the che-mistry and physics of materials.In addition to conventional equipment for monitoring and treat-ment, the laboratory also possesses its own fluorescent spec-trometer, an X-ray system, a real-time modal analysis machine,a mechanical test bench, and a controlled climate chamber.

CURRENT RESEARCH•Wood: Preventive conservation to keep stringed instruments inplayable condition, changes in the mechanical properties ofvibrating wood under variable conditions of heat and humidity.

• Varnishes: The chemical composition of the varnishes appliedto antique violins and lutes is studied using techniques of mi-croscopic, spectroscopic, and microchemical analysis.

• Leather: The physico-chemical and mechanical characteris-tics of leathers used on piano hammers and the dynamics ofthe hammer mechanisms are studied through experimentswith high-speed cameras and digital simulations.

Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (IRHT)Section de musicologie et de liturgie médiévalesEstablished in 1977 with the participation of Michel Huglo, 2 yearsbefore the opening of the Centre Augustin Thierry, the IRHT affiliatein Orléans, the musicology section pursues its own programs thatcover various aspects of the wide field of medieval music. After aneclectic period during which scholars investigated subjects fromantiquity to the Renaissance, the section returned its attention to theMiddle Ages, with an emphasis on the Latin liturgical repertory. Itendeavors to strike a balance between the production of researchtools (catalogs and inventories) and more specialized researchaligned with projects at the international level.http://www.irht.cnrs.fr

Centre de Recherche Français à Jérusalem (CRFJ)Communautés religieuses dans l’espace israélo-palestinienThe theme of religious communities in the Israeli and Palestinianareas guides the work of Olivier Tourny on the Jewish and Christianliturgical music of the Holy Land, and particularly the comparativeuse of the psalms in those liturgies. Research work falls under twoprograms, one musicological, the other multidisciplinary. The sametheme guides the new program of Florence Heymann on changesin religious identity in Israeli society.http://www.crfj.org

Institut de Recherche sur le Patrimoine Musical en France (IRPMF)The IRPMF was founded in 1996. Its scientific programs bear onlearned music composed and played in France. Its multiplemissions and research initiatives accommodate widely diverseapproaches to musical heritage—including critical editions of thecomplete works and correspondence of a composer, historicalstudies of a period or of an aspect of music, analysis of a musicalgenre, and the creation of research tools.http://www.irpmf.cnrs.fr

Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles (CMBV)The CMBV embraces several priorities in research, publishing, andthe promotion of musical heritage, all focused on the less-studiedmusical genres and periods. Its activities have generatedacademic results of great importance that have taken the form ofpublished works of musicology, critical and practical editions,digital catalogs by genre and author, and scholarly colloquia andseminars. Together these have rehabilitated entire segments of thenation’s musical heritage or contributed to the rediscovery of majorcomposers whose works had undeservedly been neglected.http://www.cmbv.fr

IRCAM

http://www.ircam.fr

The Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique(IRCAM, the institute for acoustical/musical research andcoordination) was founded in 1974 in affiliation with thePompidou Center in Paris and the CNRS. It is a place for musicalcreativity as well as for musicological, scientific, and technicalresearch.IRCAM’s distinctive feature is its support for the airing and thecoordination of varied scientific views on the musicalphenomenon drawn from physics, signal processing,computing, cognitive psychology, and musicology.• To contribute, through the advancement of science andtechnology, to the continuous renewal of contemporarymusical creativity.

• To apply the expertise generated through research to socialand business issues (media, education, cultural diffusion, andso on).
