Summary/Abstract: The paper follows the problem of a possible realisation of the concept of multiculturalism and interculturalism on the example of two scientific schools in young Byzantine musicology: “Eastern - Greek” and “Western” with the centre in Copenhagen. Although in a different manner, and in accordance with main directions and settings, it can be stated that both of them were ideologically oriented. The case of Greek scholars can be characterised as not coming to terms with the fact that intercultural relationships had been and still were fostered in their immediate geographic and cultural surroundings, while the Western scholars erred mostly because of the pretentiousness which reflected in their attempts to consider and judge the Orthodox musical and church tradition in an ex cathedra manner, without truly “immersing” themselves into it.
