Summary/Abstract: It is particularly in the second half of the 20th century that the musical milieu displays extremely interesting ideas and creative concepts. Thus, the composers’ focus on myths and their world – with the respective archetypal layers, almost naturally function as an extension of the aesthetic spectrum progressing towards a philosophy of existence. A myth is ceremoniously and metaphorically shaped and is composed of archetypal elements incorporated in its formal expression. Myth interpretation renders human consciousness more harmonious and facilitates the understanding of these archetypal images.
