Description
The leitmotivs of German composer Richard Wagner (1813-83), that is, the musical motives and phrases that capture basic elements of plot, characters, objects, feelings, conditions, and concepts in his music dramas, have been studied extensively, says Kirby (music emeritus, Lake Forest College), but until now no one has tried to determine exactly how they work in regard to meaning. He offers an essay in musical hermeneutics, a historical exploration of expression in music using Wagner's themes as material. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
