Byron Almen proposes an original synthesis of approaches to musical
narrative from literary criticism, semiotics, historiography,
musicology, and music theory, resulting in a significant critical
reorientation of the field. This volume includes an extensive
survey of traditional approaches to musical narrative illustrated
by a wide variety of musical examples that highlight the range and
applicability of the theoretical apparatus. Almen provides a
careful delineation of the essential elements and preconditions of
musical narrative organization, an eclectic analytical model
applicable to a wide range of musical styles and repertoires, a
classification scheme of narrative types and subtypes reflecting
conceptually distinct narrative strategies, a wide array of
interpretive categories, and a sensitivity to the dependence of
narrative interpretation on the cultural milieu of the work, its
various audiences, and the analyst. A Theory of Musical Narrative
provides both an excellent introduction to an increasingly
important conceptual domain and a complex reassessment of its
possibilities and characteristics.
