Musicology Annotation << Back The Sacral Space of Music Sound: Mythology, Physics, Metaphysics Vitaly Al. Shuranov The article is dedicated to the sacral-elevated nature of music, which rises from two sources: the inspired human consciousness and the naturally assigned beauty of sound. The laws of acoustic consonance, inquisitively learned by man in the theory and in the musical practice, in the mythological and scientific cognition of the world, shape the underlying structure, as it is indicated in the article, connected with high human aspirations. Its symbolic presence both in the early models of music and in later ones is connected with the steady turning of the intoning thought to the elevated ontological ideals. Keywords: origin of music, physics and metaphysics of sound, underlying structures of music, problem of spirituality. Contacts: E-mail: modus50@mail.ru Pp. 8-13.
