Articulations within a hermeneutic of music

Summary/Abstract: In the complex process of the listening to the music, the peculiar manner of each subject to enact a reflexive and affective interpretation of a unique cultural experience gets a great significance. A hermeneutic, on the philosophical ground, facilitates the endeavour to think about and to catch in memory part of the essence of music, beyond the emotion during a performance given us. Coming from the hermeneutical phenomenology of Paul Ri¬coeur, we do access a central thesis of the French philosopher, regarding the ,,comprehension and explanation” face to a ‘text’ - a cultural objectifying, a unity of signs carrying significances. We try to highlight the hermeneutic valences in a philosophical horizon of the mentioned dyad, by considering an artistic-musical ‘text’: the mass, using as example „Gloria (carnavalito — yaravi)” - part of Missa Criolla by Ariel Ramirez. We aim to challenge the reader toward an experience of (self-) knowledge and understanding, by activating the status of subject-receiver of music, and finally to revealing in the own potential of a hermeneut with a clear awareness of the human life; by priority, through the communion of human being and the divine.
