ABSOLUTE IN MUSICAL CULTURE

Abstract

Music as religare (binding) is doomed to acquire and lose the absolute. Permanent sacralization and
desacralization, the breakdown of established norms and genre boundaries give birth to an imaginative (figurative) absolute as a kind of communication with God, expressed in the aesthetic realities of the musical ethos and eros (estesis). The next step is the personalization of the ethos and estesis, a description of the perspectives of individual creativity, futurology in the musical culture in general. Musical culture can be interpreted substantively as the carrier of the absolute. The Great Other as other being, imaginative absolute, the divine in man and music, of course, has a subjective fabric expressed in material form. Musical culture as the carrier of the absolute, in this case the imaginative absolute, culture as the world in which man is given is the world of sound and non-sound matter.
