Overview

At Sheffield, we offer expertise in areas including Mozart, Renaissance music, music and visual culture, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century style, aesthetics and sources, the concerto genre and the Broadway musical – a rich assortment that represents the flexibility of the discipline.

The musicological study of music can include themes such as gender, philosophy, culture and aesthetics, and may involve an examination of history, composition, performance and reception.

Musicology engages with how music is created, disseminated and received, via a range of methodologies and often through interaction with other disciplines.
