(“music history”, sometimes called “historical musicology”, is the highly diverse subfield of the broader discipline of “musicology” that studies music from a ‘historical viewpoint’)
(in theory, “music history” could refer to the study of the history of any type or genre of music (e.g., the “history of Indian music” or the “history of rock”))
(in practice, these research topics are often categorized as part of “ethnomusicology” or “cultural studies”, whether or not they are ethnographically based)
(the terms “music history” and “historical musicology” usually refer to the history of the ‘notated music’ of Western elites, sometimes called “art music” (by analogy to ‘art history’, which tends to focus on ‘elite art’))
(the methods of ‘music history’ include ‘source studies’ (especially ‘manuscript studies’), ‘paleography’, ‘philology’ (especially ‘textual criticism’), ‘style criticism’, ‘historiography’ (the choice of ‘historical method’), ‘musical analysis’, and ‘iconography’)
(the application of musical analysis to further these goals is often a part of ‘music history’, though pure analysis or the development of new tools of ‘music analysis’ is more likely to be seen in the field of ‘music theory’)
(some of the intellectual products of ‘music historians’ include editions of ‘musical works’, biography of composers and other musicians, studies of the relationship between words and music, and the reflections upon the place of music in ‘society’)
