Form and Content: Using Music in Science Fiction and Fantasy

How is music used in SF&F? Can musical techniques be applied to fiction? Music might be key to the plot or to a character's role in the story's world. Could a story be structured as a sonata or a capriccio? Can you achieve effects comparable with opera and musical theater - the interaction of words and music in the story instead of in the theater?
