The Routledge Companion to Applied Musicology

The Routledge Companion to Applied Musicology brings together academics, artist-researchers, and practitioners to provide readers with an extensive and authoritative overview of applied musicology. Once a field that addressed music's socio-political or performative contexts, applied musicology today encompasses study and practice in areas as diverse as psychology, ecomusicology, organology, forensic musicology, music therapy, health and well-being, and other public-oriented musicologies. These rapid advances have created a fast-changing field whose scholarship and activities tend to take place in isolation from each other. This volume addresses that shortcoming, bringing together a wide-ranging survey of current approaches. Featuring 39 authors, The Routledge Companion to Applied Musicology falls into five parts-Defining and Theorising Applied Musicology; Public Engagement; New Approaches and Research Methods; Representation and Inclusion; and Musicology in/for Performance-that chronicle the subject's rich history and consider the connections that will characterise its future. The book offers an essential resource for anyone exploring applied musicology.

Chris Dromey is Associate Professor of Music at Middlesex University, where he has led BA Music Business and Arts Management since 2006. He is co-editor of The Classical Music Industry (Routledge, 2018).
