Hello,
You might try:
Music Theory Online Volume 10, Number 2
This link is from
Music Theory Online: A Journal of Criticism, Commentary, Research, and Scholarship. I use the resource often whenever I am looking for scholarly articles on music theory. I retrieved four articles when I searched using the term 'diegetic'; perhaps these will be helpful. (The Similar pages link may also prove beneficial.)
Addendum: I found a few more sources that might be helpful. Some are basic definitions of diegetic (and hopefully, non-diegetic) musics and are somewhat introductory in nature; others are articles that are academic in nature.
Diegetic MusicIngentaConnect Ambi-diegetic Music in the Movies: The Crosby Duets in High Socie...Terms
I would also try
Journal Storage (
JSTOR) and
Répertoire International de Littérature Musicale (
RILM) if you are able to access these databases.
JSTOR has tons of scholarly articles (as well as primary source material);
RILM is the world's premiere music bibliography, and publishes abstracts in a plethora of languages.
Best wishes with your research!
