BA Musicology

Historical musicology finds its subject in music from antiquity to the present. She begins with the research of sources and deals with music theory and edition practice, notation and types of sentences, genres and forms with the analysis and interpretation of music. The aim is to develop and understand musical works and music cultures in their historical and social mobility as well as in their anthropological, scientific, aesthetic and media context. This results in interfaces especially with historical and philological subjects, but also with numerous other disciplines from the humanities and natural sciences, theology and economics, law and education.
