- Synopsis
- Critical of the abstract analysis of musical scores, Monelle argues that the score does not reveal music's sense. That sense what a piece of music says and signifies can be understood only with reference to history, culture, and the other arts. Thus, music is meaningful in that it signifies cultural temporaries and themes, from the traditional manly heroism of the hunt to military power to postmodern "polyvocality.
