"THE MYTHOS OF MUSIC"

An interesting point made right at the beginning of this chapter is the only answer may be, what may also be unconscious. Although Rowell interested in the deep layer of musical ideas in Western cultural consciousness. Music, in addition concept associated with classical muses, in a wonderfully metaphorical images. As Campbell explains in his book The Power of Myth, "… metaphor is an image that suggests another "(59). We must also consider the importance of archetypal criticism. In this attempt, Northrop Frye is suggested as an important reference in the study of archetypes, but he admits it is difficult to obtain a clear picture of myth of music as a whole. Although this notion of myth is personal, it contributes to May such a task difficult to define. [Cunha 2002] "The myth is how we can face the truth, imposed or acquired, insofar as there is a belief, regardless of the variety of interpretations and associations. "According to Rowell, the authors agreed that" the only common denominator seems to be our need to explain what can be readily understood on the basis of everyday experience "(59).

The same author also explains, they are not part of conscious life, and "sometimes associated with some cyclical rhythms of time and seasons and the spatial structure of the ordered cosmos, and seem – By Levis Strauss – to perform the same functions for most societies, primitive or sophisticated (59). Campbell explains in his The work of the Hero With a Thousand Faces, the effect of the successful adventure of the hero is the unlocking and re-release flow of life in the world body and the miracle of this flow of food substance, such as dynamically streaming energy or spiritually as a manifestation of grace (40). Then, the conclusion that [Rowell 61] "reality imitates the myths." The movement of energy should also include music that illuminates the events of grace, since there is evidence enough of the fact that he has followed the development companies.

[Rowell 60] "According to Frye, cosmic setting is essential to the functioning of myth, bringing the divine, human, Animal, vegetable, mineral, and sometimes demonic worlds in alignment using a symbol of verticality, Frye called a "point epiphany "(A moment of insight, discovery or revelation by which the life of a character is profoundly altered (Gioia G11).), Also included because the scale of four musical forms with the vertical at the point of epiphany, connecting the four elements material (earth, water, air, fire) with the pagan heaven of Apollo and the three Graces, shown in a dance with arms linked (see illustration Cunha 01), and his mind goes in all the Muses (61). "Initially, the number of muses and their names varies in period before their evolution blossomed in Greek mythology. Initially, three Muses were worshiped on Mount Helicon, in Boeotia: Melete ( "Meditation") Mneme ( "memory"), and Aoede ( "Song").

Cunha 03

Three others were worshiped at Delphi and their names represented the names of the strings of a lyre: Nete, Mese, and Hypatia. Many Other versions have been until the Greeks worshiped finally established the nine muses in mythology as: Calliope, Clio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia and Urania. The Muses had several epithets which usually referred to places where they had installed. "01He also sites of two musical examples:" Orpheus (it has affected wild animals with this art, but have moved rocks and forests with the modulation of the song … (62)) a descent into the underworld to revive and Eurydice, of Polynesian mythology, the vine that Hiku descends into the underwater world to save his wife, Hawelu (60).

One point at issue is the fact that "the central issues of the mythology of the music were already styled by the early Christian era, crystallizing around the legend of Orpheus, which remains the issue most explicit. Virgil mentions Orpheus in the fourth book of his Georgics. But there are more references to the rebirth of Orpheus, like Kathi Meyer-Baer splited her face in Christian iconography. Clement of Alexandria also interprets Christ as a new Orpheus in a theology of striking beauty that has been conspicuously ignored by the Church in Rome (63). Dionysus is also an important myth (he plays aulos) (80). It was reported in a passage on Midas, Pan and Apollo, where competition to be judged by Tmolus. Apollo 03, but has also been adopted and included in List of Roman gods, because he had connections with Delphi. This god was known as the god of healing, but he became the god of oracles and prophecy, in accordance with Virgil (Harvey 45).

1. There are references in the musical iconography, as Pythagoras (sets of bells and the sound of hammers), David (with his harp) and Krishna (flute) (64). Good references for the costumes in the instruments Greece on can be observed in the vessels that are now in the British Museum, and artistic events that also offer a rich literature (Harvey 351).

After 1700, there was a decline began, considering the use of myths, because of the upward trend of the interpretation based on cosmology and teleology (62). Rowell concludes that "the myth of music, in a word, went underground and rarely recurred in explicit narrative or elsewhere in the play, references to meals (62). "Critics write about the social point of view of several important ways mirrors society and therefore the literary work is a historical document, a fossil free life that needs to be revitalized by lighting which has occurred "(Smith 06).

In this attempt, Guido d'Arezzo is an example of a famous curator of the music mythology, as he compiled directories of music (Gregory), during the Middle Ages. Saints like St. John and St. Cecilia are also invoked by the authors as Geoffrey Chaucer and John Dryden. Names such as Niccolò Paganini and Franz Liszt are also mentioned, because they are linked with the myth of Orpheus to the musical world of the nineteenth century (the energy that has been said to come from the devil). Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus is the most convincing portrait of evil in music. Authors such as Shakespeare, TS Eliot, are also included in the gallery of those who revived the myths and music during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to today. The effect produced music on people was regarded as positive, however, music has associations with sexuality, death, resurrection, the powerful force of harmony, but so divine, it is demonic. "Orpheus and Apollo were related to prophecy oracular cure the disease, and ritual purification, three different ways to focus the healing forces of nature on the body and mind (70).

Cunha 05

In this attempt, the music should have three advantages. "First: regulation, restoration of the soul and / or body to a state of equilibrium … Secondly, creating a sensation of pleasure through movement, and the third is the inducement of an ecstatic experience (catharsis) which purges the soul of emotional conflict expel evil spirits "(70). And the music is described as a specific language that can communicate directly interprets the listener: it enters the body as air pressure, sense and soul (71). Another interesting point to integrate the body of this essay is transcience. As Rowell explains the paradox Most striking is the myth that this incredibly powerful force is also extremely perishable, and always in danger of being lost (73).

"Concepts About harmony are both more abstract and the grandest of all musical metaphors "(77).

Association with myths and the instruments they play is very interesting because some of them may be prototypes of stringed instruments, more Later, symbolizing the principles of Apollo – the harmony, formal clarity, reason, moderation and objectivity. An example of this progress ch'in is "the most respected Chinese instruments, considered a symbol of harmony. Even the bells were cited in many literary works, in addition to flute (it was invented by Mercury) 02, which is most symbolic of all musical instruments (81). Percussion symbol appears in such a variety of shapes, sizes, materials, and places that generalization is impossible. And the last instrument by Rowell is the body which is another symbol of world harmony, and it is a concept Elizabethan mentioned even by John Donne in his poetry (82).

Cunha 06

To the Greeks, music has been heard many cultural, artistic and intellectual incorporating a new meaning to the myths and music. As mentioned in the book "The Republic": "Exercise body and the music of the soul "(Plato, 136). This statement is an example of the importance of myths and music for educational purposes, in such a higher level of resources to assist in teaching. The revolution on this subject is already done. The new century is a promise of stunning productions and resources (not least because of computers), so we can enjoy more of life with music, heroes and myths, of course! It is our history!

And not a privilege of those who can invest in travel, and can be musically educated. This treasure is avalue with the advent of the Internet today. The negative aspect of history is the urgency of negative energies. We also victims and anti-hero in the adventure of life. Is there music for them? The sound of a gun? Or a bomb? We already know the sounds of death and misery. The answers to many secrets of ancient civilizations and their use does not remain in secret anymore. Perhaps because the myths and the music could survive. No matter how long it has been preserved for us, for such an extraordinary amount of investment.

He is the god who brings the wine, but also poisoning which merges the drinker with the deity.

14. Pythagoras

Pythagoras (circa 530 BCE) must have been one of the greatest men of the world, but he wrote nothing, and it is difficult to say how much the doctrine we know as Pythagorean is due to the founder of the company and how much is later development. It is also unclear how what we are told about the life of Pythagoras is trustworthy for a mass of legend gathered around his name at an early date. Sometimes it is represented as a scientist, and sometimes as a preacher of mystic doctrines, and we might be tempted to consider that either of these characters as the only historical. The truth is that there is no reason to reject one of the traditional views. The union of mathematical genius and mysticism is fairly common. Originally from Samos, Pythagoras founded at Croton (southern Italy) a society that was both a religious and a scientific school.
