Ethnographic context: This paper explores one particular set of auto-hypnoses in which music and certains genres of the global imagination intersect in specific ways. At the center of these imaginations stands the first Christian hymn in South Africa. Among Xhosa speakers in South Africa, by contrast the same hymn became the key symbol of correlate 19th century, myth of inclusion, nationalism. Through the hymn black South Africans, protested the loss of their land and freedom. By tracing the play of exclusion and inclusion at the micro level of tonal organization and literary genre, the paper demonstrates how, penser la musique et penser le monde are really two modalities of the same thing.
