 Musicology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the album by Prince, see Musicology (album).
Zoomusicology is the study of the music of animals, or rather the musical aspects of sound or communication produced and received by animals.
Musicology is reasoned discourse concerning music (Greek: μουσικη = "music" and λογος = "word" or "reason").

 Musicology
Musicology is complemented by ethnomusicology, traditionally defined as the study of folk music and of non-western art music, but increasingly seen as an anthropological approach to music of any kind.
Musicology has known two main approaches: the historical (the history of western art music) and the systematic (the study of universal principles underlying the vocabulary of music - scales, rhythms, melodies, etc - and of acoustics, aesthetics, psychology, sociology, and other disciplines in their relationship to music).
While musical scholarship has existed in most highly developed cultures of the past, the principles and techniques used in the 20th century were formulated only in the late 19th and have remained in a process of refinement and transformation.

Musicology is a systematic study of music in all of its forms of appearance.
Musicology exists as an academic discipline that studies primarily composed and notated music, and is taught in universities across the world.
Whereas musicology tends to study works of music that are notated on scores, the individuals and history that created such works, ethnomusicology studies the music of the world, as an act of cultural expression.

 musicology on Encyclopedia.com
Today, the domain of musicology is defined by universities, where such study is centered, and includes study of form and notation, national, period, and personal styles, the lives of composers and players, musical instruments, acoustics, ethnomusicology, and aesthetics.
Ironically, the study of musical compositions as such, as distinct from the study of data related to them, is not regarded as within the sphere of musicology but rather in the academically separate branch of study called music theory (see theory, in music).

However, as the hype seems to be rolling now he's back in vogue with Billboard and Rolling stone i'll go along with the pretence that this is Prince's first decent album for however many years.

The bouncy bass and silky drumming in combination with the free-flowing falsetto makes "Call My Name" one of the schmoovest Prince songs in the catalog, and his tight playing is prevalent throughout the entire album.
What's missing are those dangerous, hit-or-miss Prince trademarks, like the "Camille" voice in "If I Was Your Girlfriend," the extended jam of "Sign 'O' the Times," and poetic lyrics in "When Doves Cry." "Musicology" is uncharacteristically straightforward.
The "come home/come home baby" pleading in "A Million Days" uses the trademark Prince screams - The Kid ain't lost a step in 20-somethin' years - but it still sounds like an emotional recreation.
