The music. A brief remembrance

Abstract

Music attracts man, helps him escape from his routine and contributes to the formation of an identity. It goes hand in hand with humanity, as the first instrument found shows. In this work, music is analyzed in the Hélade (Greece) and in the Anáhuac Valley (Mexico). From the first, Homeric hymns are taken up again and from the second, the mystic-cosmogonic conception of flowers and songs. Although these are different civilizations and spaces, they have in common that the oral tradition and its rites of invocation and worship are based on poetry, music, song and dance.
