A Pathway towards Music Art

Abstract

Listening Music Listening to an art of music s work! Something important happens to us. Why? Because our soul is touched and moved at its deepest levels. In contact with music, a spiritual tumult invades our entire being; and we are revealed to ourselves in a new and previously unknown way. Face to face with the harmonious sounds giving music the status of an artistic text we find opportunities maybe the best possible to unfold our unique capacity to participate in, understand and even interpret life s expanse. We put ourselves in the state of better self-knowledge and comprehension, by that hermeneutic polarity of proximity and detachment according to Paul Ricoeur2. When we listen to music, each of us gives ourselves the chance to live the absolute moment meaning, at the same time, self-denial and self-mediation . Everything that tears one away from anything restores the whole of totality of being , the subject installs himself in the profundity of meaning s continuity 3
