Apstrakt: This paper presents the results of a pilot investigation on a sample of 21 Western-music songs thematizing weeping - and ranging in genre and age. Initial input comes from recurrent features in ancient Greek mentions of tears associated with performative events; they include the prominence of sound, interjections, strong self-referentiality, repetitions and refrains, the motif of endlessness, and tears associated with streams of water, dew, and libation liquids. The analysis of modern and contemporary songs and arias adopts a cognitive-semiotic approach: it focuses on the semiotic complexity derived from the integration of multiple modalities/modes (weeping, lyrics, music (including musical notation), and images, in different combinations), and on the cognitive mappings emerging from several observable metonymic, metaphorical, and iconic cross-modal relations.
