Abstract

Throughout its existence, ethnomusicology has been viewed as a branch of one of the two 'parent' disciplines with which it disagreed, rather than as a distinct discipline. This, according to the first half of the article, has had a considerable impact on the quest for definition, theory, and technique in the field, working primarily as a deterrent to the creation of an independent theory and method with a specific set of research objectives. Over the last 25 years, however, there has been a convergence of numerous ethnomusicological models from disparate scholarly traditions, all of which propose a thorough integrated approach to the study of music. These are described in the article's middle section. Finally, a holistic model for the study of music is presented, which may be considered as the logical culmination of recent achievements.
