Claude Lévi-Strauss frequently expressed the opinion (also in a conversation with the author of this article) that the greatest cataclysm he had witnessed is the inconceivable growth of the human population. As a rule, researchers studying his works are embarrassed by this declaration. Nonetheless, the author shows how a correct comprehension of the demographic aspects of the vision of the world proposed by Lévi-Strauss is indispensable for a suitable interpretation of all of his works, written by a moralist trying to concisely discover the reason for the evil present in the contemporary world and to find means that could save mankind from that evil.

This article addresses the relationship of myth and music, taking the example of musical ballads by the Slovak composer Tadeáš Salva (1937 – 1995). The early 20th century saw the appearance of a new phenomenon in art: the renaissance of myth. The problem of myth became the foundation of works by many researchers in a variety of scholarly disciplines. Claude Lévi-Strauss was the first who addressed this question in relation to music. For him, the essential methodological point of departure in the examination of myth is binary oppositions. In essence these correlate with the dualism which, according to Tadeáš Salva, is the basic characteristic of the ballad. Analysis of the balladic principle in the work of this composer consists of a description of the contrasting elements in a number of musical parameters. On this basis, an attempt is made to show the renaissance of myth in Salva’s music via the musical ballads, which in varying instrumentation represent the core of his original music.
