While musicology contends to be purely about music itself (almost always Western Classical Music ), ethnomusicologists are often interested in putting the music they study into a wider cultural context. Ethnomusicology as it emerged in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century , practiced by people such as Béla Bartók , Zoltán Kodály , Vinko Zganec , Franjo Ksaver , Carl Stumpf , Erich Von Hornbostel , Curt Sachs and Alexander J. Ellis , tended to focus on non-European music of an oral tradition, but in more recent years the field has expanded to embrace all musical styles from all parts of the world. Ethnomusicologists apply theories and methods from cultural anthropology as well as other disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. Many ethnomusicological works are created not necessarily by 'ethnomusicologists' proper, but instead by anthropologists examining music as an aspect of a culture. A well-known example of such work is Colin Turnbull's study of the Mbuti Pygmies . Another example is Jaime De Angulo , a linguist who ended up learning much about the music of the Indians of Northern California (see Yet another is Anthony Seeger, professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, who studied the music and society of the Suya people in Mato Grosso, Brazil (see [http://www.ethnomusic.ucla.edu/people/seeger.htm ). Four important centers for ethnomusicological study are the Universities Of California at Los Angeles and Santa Barbara , Indiana University , the Institute Of Ethnology And Folklore Research at University Of Zagreb , Croatia , and the School Of Oriental And African Studies , at University Of London . With regard to African music, Paul Berliner , Andrew Tracey, and Hugh Tracey are well known, the latter being the founder of the International Library Of African Music . SOURCE
