Law and Music

This article deals with possible relationships between law and music. This article describes music as a picture, inspiration or analogy of law. Here we approach the law as a result of developed from a limited set of means. But independently on this set law is full and possible styleof expression of the real world. The possible relationships analyzed in this article are: picture, interpretation, and actualization. Possible picture of law is given especially by popular music. Popular music and law shares the same values. Both of them are created for masses. But without these values law (or popular music) will not operate. It would be not accepted. Second approach to law and music is through interpretation – we must interpret law as we must interpret law; and then we must to perform it. Without real performance the law (or the music) will not exist. Performance is only possible modus operandi for law, music or drama. Thus, the audience is something interpret must take into account. The part about actualization focuses on possibility to interpret old laws in new context. Can we actualize the old laws or are we limited by intention of norm creator? In music as in law we face the movements which assert that former intention of creator cannot be actualized. And on other side there are movements which want to ignore intentions of creator. It is hard to say where the truth is. This article does not want to answer – it wants only to show possibility of using music in describing and understanding the law.
