Music anthropology

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Music anthropology is a sub-area of anthropology , but is also understood as an interdisciplinary approach that includes musicology . Alternatively, the term “music anthropology” is sometimes used as a synonym for comparative musicology ( ethnomusicology ) or, more rarely, for the consideration of the music of the early advanced cultures or for music archeology ( historical musicology ).

In music anthropology, music is understood as the result of biological conditions and psychological processes. The anthropology of music is guided by the conviction that the consideration of music must start from the essence of human beings and an evolution of music.
