Indeed, the courage to embrace the multiple perspectives of postmodern thought in a series of mutually supportive essays can be seen as more heroic than the erection of a single, overarching scheme.
The strain of these competing strategies is often foregrounded with cunning self-consciousness, as Monelle thematizes the theoretical conflicts he finds, and one can only admire the reflexive moves by which he draws out the best from each encounter. If Nattiez (1975) introduced the first stage of formalist music semiotics, and Tarasti (1994), Hatten (1994), and Lidov (1999) contributed toward a second stage that reconciled the structuralist with the hermeneutic in interpreting musical meaning, then Monelle’s essays could be said to mark the third stage, or staging, in which semiotic theory confronts postmodernism and emerges as viable, even after relinquishing the hitherto unacknowledged hegemony of its structuralist core.* Monelle moves from traditional semiotic concerns with topics and tropes to postmodern concerns with the work as text, modes of temporality as they affect musical form and genre, the construction of subjectivity, and the deconstruction of ideology. If that volume signaled Raymond Monelle’s authorial presence with an absorbing exploratory essay on deconstruction in music, the present book of essays, devoted entirely to his own theoretical work and speculation, marks the emergence of a unique voice and indeed a new direction for music semiotics. But those music theorists and musicologists who have not encountered his insightful survey, Linguistics and Semiotics in Music (1992), may not appreciate his role as one of the leading music semiotic theorists of our time. He is also a recognized scholar of eighteenthcentury music. HE AUTHOR OF THESE ESSAYS, Professor of Music at the University of Edinburgh, is well known to music semioticians internationally as a keynote speaker or invited lecturer throughout Europe and North America.

The finish of the century which cared so deeply for the relationship of terms and songs witnessed an nearly Romantic exoticism in thé intesity of such a association.Frontispiece: The Earl of Cardigan at Balaclava. The poetic picture of the 'giorni oscuri y dogliose notti' ('unsatisfactory times and depressed evenings') calls forth actually more astonishing examples of melodic chrómaticism and harmonic misdiréction the harmonic assets even consist of what is definitely possibly the initial major ninth chord actually written! A brief passage of 'discovered' imitative style ironically numbers the text message's guide to overlooked poems, and the 'vánquishing of all style' network marketing leads Marenzio to end the whole piece on an utterly unsatisfying cadence.
