5.0 out of 5 stars Especially recommended for college library collections, Sep 14 2009

By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Orpehus Myth and the Powers of Music (Paperback)

The Orpheus Myth and the Powers of Music is a scholarly examination of how the classical myth of Orpheus and Eurydice has affected humankind's perception of the power of music, up to the present day. A three-tiered probe explores the myth's history and alterations in its form, the myth's cultural status, and the impressions that a tale of lovelorn man whose music moved no less than the God of Death have on humanity's perception of music's power. Authors, composers, librettists, and more turn time and again to the ancient tale of Orpheus to express the hold music has over our hearts and souls; The Orpheus Myth and the Powers of Music is an excellent, thoughtful survey of a myth's roots in one aspect of the arts, and is especially recommended for college library collections.
