Abstract
This master’s thesis explores the scope arising between some of the diffèrent analytical methods found across popular musicology and western art musicology. As a vehicle in this exercise, the contrasting cases of Men At Work’s Down Under and the final movement of Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony (Pathétique), Adagio lamentoso, are subject to bi- and tripartite analyses articulated on at least two levels, and from a range of diffèrent musicological perspectives (ranging from cultural analysis to "old-school" formal analysis).
