?THE MYTHOS OF MUSIC?

                  An interesting point presented right at the beginning of the chapter is the response one can have, which can also be unconscious. Although, Rowell is interested in the deep stratum of musical ideas in Western cultural consciousness. Music, besides the classic concept associated with muses, a metaphorical way to wonder images. As Campbell explains in his work The Power of Myth, “… metaphor is an image that suggests another”(59).  We also have to 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 hard to get a clear picture of the myth of music as a whole. Although, this concept of myth is personal, it may contribute to such a difficult mission to define it. [Cunha 2002] “Myth is the way one can face truth, imposed or acquired, as far as there’s a belief, no matter the variety of interpretations and associations.” In accordance with Rowell, the authors have an agreement that “the single common denominator appears to be our need to explain that which cannot be immediately understood on the basis of everyday experience”(59).
