Both music and mythology exist on two plains. The first in the present moment-ephemeral. The second in stasis - immortal. As Levi Strauss wrote, "It is as if music and mythology needed time only in order to deny it." The listener, immersed in the sounds of music and mythology, gains access to the eternal.
