Abstract

[Recent advances in cognitive sciences change musicological perspective on musical works, especially on their meanings. According to Gilles Fauconnier, Mark Turner, Lawrence Zbikowski and others, musical concepts, although expressed linguistically, are entirely independent of linguistic concepts. When, for example, we listen to any verbal-musical work, musical concepts together with linguistic concepts form a double-scope process of Conceptual Integration Network (CIN) in which these concepts are blended, and in this manner, the final meaning emerges. In my article, I am presenting – in the light of this theory – the fifth movement of Paweł Szymański’s Villanelle for countertenor, two violas and harpsichord to a text by James Joyce [1981]. The CIN for this movement is composed of four mental spaces: text, musical, generic and blended. The text space includes three following concepts: repetitions of chorus lines, rhymes of two kinds and alternative: lover’s balancing between fascination and exhaustion. The musical space includes also three concepts: repetitions of the ground bass, variation of the ground bass and alternative: old-timey and (infrequent) modern means. In the generic space I put the ideas of repeatability, cyclicity, circularity, while the blended space – created from selected attributes of text and musical spaces – is the ritual of adoration. The ritual of adoration is the meaning of the fifth movement of Villanelle.]
