--- abstract: |- In this paper we develop an approach to musicology within the discussion of emergentism. First of all, we claim that some theories of musicology could be insufficient in describing and explaining musical phenomena when emergent properties are not taken into account. Actually, musicology usually considers just syntactical elements, structures and processes and puts only a little emphasis, if any, over perceptual aspects of human hearing. On the other hand, recent research efforts are currently being directed towards an understanding of the emergent properties of auditory perception, especially in fields such as cognitive science. Such research leads to other views concerning old issues in musicology and could create a fruitful approach, filling the gap between musicology and auditory perception. altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: IX SBCM (Brazilian Society of Musical Computation) confloc: Campinas contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Oliveira given: L.
