Abstract :
Music is an art that consists of sequences of sounds in time, tones of definite pitch organized melodically, harmonically, and rhythmically and according to tone color. Despite its universal nature, music particularizes a people. Through it, like language, one can recognize a people. Moreover, some studies on speech reigning against structuralism have shown that music is builds on the intertwining of speech and subjectivity. In his theory of enunciation, Emile Benveniste, develops the notion of the language of music. He admitted though that this idea is a metaphor. In other words, exactly like in utterance, there is subjectivity in music. In fact, Benveniste thinks that this conception with regard to the relationship between music and language raises a series of questions of interests relevant to the topic under study here.
