The terms of structuralist and post-structuralist theory have been
widely debated within the field of music analysis in recent years.
However, very few analyses have attempted to address the repertoire
of large orchestral works of the turn of the century - works which
seem most obviously to escape the categories of conventional
analysis. This study uses a semiotic theory of signification in
order to investigate different types of musical communication.
Musical meaning is defined on several levels from structures
immanent to the work, through questions of tradition and genre, to
consideration of the symphony as a narrative alongside other
contemporary non-musical texts. Ideas from Eco, Barthes, and
Derrida are deployed within the context of close analysis of the
score in order to unite specifically analytical insights with
cultural hermeneutics.
