Abstract

The term "Musicology" is a portmanteau of the words "Music" and "Logos" (a Latin word). Logos signifies science or theory. In reality, musicology is a research-based study of all facets of music, including its history, theory, science, composition, acoustics, philosophy, and aesthetics. Moreover, in the case of Indian music, the proper and logical explanations of musical texts written in Sanskrit and other classical languages are the most important aspects of the musicological research. Numerous disciplines, including psychology, acoustics, science, mathematics, and philosophies, are related to music. This research paper focused on an interdisciplinary study of Musicology, Music and musicology in the contemporary era and also discusses on necessities of Indian musicology in special reference to the interdisciplinary approach.
