I'm actually not sure what you mean.
Like certain note intervals or chord progressions invoke certain emotions or meanings when you hear them. One example he makes is that there is an interval sequence--major third-perfect fifth-minor sixth--that refers to "hunting calls" back in the 18th century, which, in turn, invokes the outdoor life of nobles.
The downfall to analyzing music this way though is that the meanings change according to cultural and educational background, which is why when we hear that sequence today, it doesn't have that same meaning attached to it.
