Abstract

With a greater emphasis on understanding how meaning has been constructed by past societies, historians and university students have in recent years become familiar with using a wide range of historical sources. This article considers practical ways in which music - of different kinds - can be used as source material for historical investigation in university teaching. It suggests that by relating musical examples to categories of analysis already widely used in history, such as class, race, gender and citizenship, music can profitably be integrated with and used alongside other kinds of historical evidence, for example literary sources and visual images.
