François Bernard-Mâche here uses music-related myths and ancient as well as more recent history to show the underlying relationship between musical thought and certain natural laws. Using original analytical techniques, he sheds new light on the history of music, showing the presence of music in the animal world to demonstrate that Nature and culture are not in opposition.
Born in 1935, Mâche has made a name for himself as a composer and musicologist. A student at the Ecole Normale Supérieure, a qualified teacher and a doctor of letters, he studied under Messiaen and has veen a member of the Groupe de Recherches Musicales since its foundation in 1958.
