Musicology
Tectum publishes musicological works of the highest quality. The titles in our music programme are characterised by high-quality typesetting, state-of-the-art design elements and high-quality binding. Renowned editors oversee our musicological series, including Prof. Dr. Matthias Herrmann, who publishes the “Schriften des Dresdner Kreuzchores” on behalf of the Dresdner Kreuzchor, or Prof. Dr. Claudia Bullerjahn, editor of the series “Systematische Musikwissenschaft und Musikkulturen der Gegenwart”. With the “Frankfurt Wagner Contexts”, the Richard Wagner Association Frankfurt am Main has expanded its scholarship programme, which previously focused on supporting young stage artists.

Frankfurter Wagner-Kontexte
Published by the Richard Wagner Society Frankfurt am Main
With the publication series Frankfurter Wagner-Kontexte, the Richard-Wagner-Verband Frankfurt am Main has expanded its scholarship programme, which has so far focused on supporting young stage artists. By awarding an annual publication scholarship, a musicological and high-quality contribution to Richard Wagner research is made. The range of topics is deliberately broad. The only requirement is that the primarily funded dissertations must guarantee a concrete context to the composer Richard Wagner.

The series presents the results of musicological research and scientific colloquia at the Institute for Musicology and Music Education at the Justus Liebig University Giessen.
The series addresses the latest research in the field of systematic musicology (especially music psychology, music sociology and music aesthetics) as well as all current phenomena of contemporary music cultural life and problematises them with a musicological focus.
Popular music and music in the media are also explicitly addressed and examined in an interdisciplinary manner. The series offers self-contained contributions on all forms of music.
