Springer handbook of systematic musicology : with 952 figures and 61 tables

This unique reference book offers a holistic description of the multifaceted field of systematic musicology, which is the study of music, its production and perception, and its cultural, historical and philosophical background. The seven sections reflect the main topics in this interdisciplinary subject. The first two parts discuss musical acoustics and signal processing, comprehensively describing the mathematical and physical fundamentals of musical sound generation and propagation. The complex interplay of physiology and psychology involved in sound and music perception is covered in the following sections, with a particular focus on psychoacoustics and the recently evolved research on embodied music cognition. In addition, a huge variety of technical applications for professional training, music composition and consumer electronics are presented. A section on music ethnology completes this comprehensive handbook. Music theory and philosophy of music are imbedded throughout. Carefully edited and written by internationally respected experts, it is an invaluable reference resource for professionals and graduate students alike.

Systematic Musicology Is A Highly Interdisciplinary Field, Which It Was Ever Since Its Ancient Origins With Philosophers Like Pythagoras, Archytas Of Tarrent Or Aristoxenos. Here The Connection Between Music, Mathematics, Geometry, Astronomy, Well-being, Politics And Other Fields Were Discussed. Today The Topics Discussed Range From Musical Acoustics And Philosophy To Musical Applications In Modern Music Production And Distribution, Next To Many Related Topics. Still The Aim Of The Discipline Is To Understand Music, Its Production And Perception, Its Cultural, Historical And Philosophical Background In A Systematic Way. The 'handbook Of Systematic Musicology' Is Trying To Reflect This Interdisciplinary Nature. Rolf Bader (ed.). The Handbook of Systematic Musicology is trying to reflect this interdisciplinary nature of Systematic Musicology in seven sections. These sections follow the main topics in the field, Musical Acoustics, Signal Processing, Music Psychology, Psychophysics/Psychoacoustics and Music Ethnology while also taking recent research trends into consideration, like Embodied Music Cognition and Media Applications. Other topics, like Music Theory or Philosophy of Music are incorporated in the respective sections
