Dionysian Music

Dionysian music in particular, excited awe and terror. In the dionycian ditheram, man is incited to the greatest exaltation of all his symbolic faculties,. something never before experienced. Struggles for utterance, the annihilation of the vale of maya are now to be expressed symbolically. We can individuaate the concept of the destruction of individual. And the entire symbolism of the body is called into play, not the mere symbolism of the lips, face and speech but the whole pantomime of dancing which forces every member into rhythmic movement.
