Synopsis This work describes how the discipline Ethnomusicology is a study of intercultural musicology. The history, theory and methodology of Ethnomusicology, the emergence of Ethnomusicology in India, the intercultural aspects in the scholastic and performing traditions in the music’s and theatres in Asia are dealt with to high light that Ethnomusicology is primarily a study of intercultural Musicology. This is the first work written by a non-western Ethnomusicologist who got her Ph.D in Ethnomusicology from the University in USA on the discipline of Ethnomusicology. The concept of intercultural Musicology which Dr Durga articulates in the work is a major breakthrough and her foresight in introducing the concept into the literature is commendable.
