Abstract

Musicology is the scholarly, scientific, and humanistic study of music. Historical musicology studies the development of musical works, styles, and practices over time, using archival research and contextual analysis. Archival research involves examining original documents, manuscripts, letters, and musical works, while contextual analysis considers the social, cultural, and historical circumstances of the music (Levy & Emmery, 2021). As the boundaries between human and machine creativity continue to blur, musicologists are uniquely positioned to interrogate the values embedded in these systems and to advocate for practices that respect both the complexity of musical traditions and the transformative potential of technological innovation. The convergence of AI and musicology thus presents both new opportunities and new obligations, positioning the field at a pivotal intersection of technology, creativity, and culture. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore the discipline of musicology from its near history to its new form that's formed with the invention of AI.
