What is musicology?

I realised that, for a blog mostly on musicology, I hadn't actually mentioned it yet.

Here's one definition.

I'm not sure how I'd define musicology, though. I guess for me it's the study of music(s) in historical, cultural and social contexts. But I'll need to think some more about that, because it probably has limitations I haven't noticed.
