A theory upon origin of implicit musical language
The author suggests that the origin of musicality is implied in an implicit musical language every human being possesses in uterus due to a resonance and attunement with prenatal environment, mainly the mother. It is emphasized that ego-development and evolving implicit musical language can be regarded as parallel processes. To support this idea a lot of examples of musical representa tions are demonstrated by the author. Music is viewed as a tone of ego-functioning involving the musical representations of bodily and vis ceral senses, cross-modal perception, unity of sense of self, individual fate of ego, and tripo lar and bipolar musical coping codes. Finally, a special form of music therapy is shown to illus trate how can implicit musical language be transformed into explicit language by virtue of participants’ spontaneity, creativity, and play fulness.
