Abstract
Mythology played a vital role in the development of music in the Late Romantic and Impression-istic eras. Jean-Baptiste Camille-Corot’s Orpheus Leading Eurydice from the Underworld is an excellent example of how mythological themes were used in the art of early Impressionism. Four composers notably espouse the convergence of myth and music: Franz Liszt, Richard Wagner, Claude Debussy, and Maurice Ravel. Each of these composers viewed mythology differently and made unique contributions to the world of music, often in a form closely tied to mythology. Mythology inspired many of the great composers of the Late Romantic and Impressionist eras and provided the creative material for some of music’s greatest masterpieces.
