The question of whether music has meaning has been the subject of sustained debate ever since music became a subject of academic inquiry. Is music a language? Does it communicate specific ideas and emotions? What does music mean, and how does this meaning occur?

Kofi Agawu's Music as Discourse has become a standard and definitive work in musical semiotics. Working at the nexus of musicology, ethnomusicology, and music philosophy and aesthetics, Agawu presents a synthetic and innovative approach to musical meaning which argues deftly for the thinking of music as a discourse in itself--composed not only of sequences of gestures, phrases, or progressions, but rather also of the very philosophical and linguistic props that enable the analytical formulations made about music as an object of study. The book provides extensive demonstration of the pertinence of a semiological approach to understanding the fully-freighted language of romantic music, stresses the importance of a generative approach to tonal understanding, and provides further insight into the analogy between music and language. Music as Discourse is an essential read for all who are interested in the theory, analysis and semiotics of music of the romantic period.

Super cute baggy jeans
Size: Small, Color: Calypso Blue, Size: Small, Color: Calypso Blue
I am short and these jeans are like normal jeans for me. 5’1” and size small ordered. I love these jeans!! They are baggy and have a good stretch. They have a cute drawstring as well as a belt. Plenty of pockets. Comfy and soft denim plus zippers are good too. Recommended!!

Soft and stretchy and a close FP dupe.
These are super cute and look just like the picture. The material is stretchy and comfortable. The zipper is really smooth. They run a little big but look cute. Pretty close to the FP but not exact. Great jeans if you want the look but don't want to spend the FP price.

Nope. Returned.
Size: Medium, Color: Calypso Blue
These were returned because they were all wrong. Too short, too loose in the but but not loose enough to look like barrel jeans. Worst of all the color was not what was pictured. The wash and accent bleaching was so ugly. Also, they were too stretchy. I tried them on and walk around the house to see what I thought and they got too big after about 5 minutes.
