Abstract
Sol de América (1981-1982) is a composition for narrator, choir and orchestra by the Uruguayan composer Antonio Mastrogiovanni (1936-2010). The present study adopts the hermeneutic method (Nattiez, 1990) to give an account of this work based on the analysis of its orchestration. In this case, textures, timbres and sonorities are given precedence over harmony, pitch or form, parameters that are usually prioritized in most analytical methods. As a result, an unprecedented vision of music is obtained from a perspective that permits the discovery of the strongly cohesive properties of the orchestration
