Summary/Abstract: This article’s focus is the universal organising principles underlying the energy transformation process in music and fairy tales. Taking into account relevant research in Jungian analytical psychology and music analysis, a comparative study of energy transformation processes in fairy tales and music is given. This yields an outline for a potential new meta-analysis of music introducing the symbolic and psychoid nature of music and its relevance for psychological development.
