"In the Republic, describing the ideal state, Plato already
excludes popular music. Only the harp and Apollo's lyre would
be permitted in towns because their harmony alone creates "the
strain of necessity and the strain of freedom, the strain of
the unfortunate and the strain of the fortunate, the strain
of courage and the strain of temperance which befit the citizen."
City-dwellers panicked before Pan's flute and its power to awaken
the instincts. Only "the shepherds may play [Pan's] pipes and
they only in the country.""
[Ivan
Illich - deschooling society]
« Le système des gammes, des modes et de leur enchaînement harmonique
ne repose pas sur des lois naturelles invariables, mais il est,
au contraire, la conséquence de principes esthétiques qui ont
varié avec le développement progressif de l'humanité, et qui
varieront encore; »
[Comte de
Lautréamont - Les Chants de Maldoror]
