Music, as a meaningful form, is a unique art created by human beings in order to realize the expression and communication of their inner life. Music analysis is a process of excavating, interpreting and understanding the potential meaning of creation. Combining the core concepts of symbolic theory with music text analysis, the symbolic narrative of music can be understood from the signifier and signified dimensions, thus presenting a new way and trend of meaning interpretation for music analysis and teaching concepts.
