From Nicanor Teixeira s musical work (1928...) this study aims to develop the possible relations between music, time and imaginary, as well as the specificity of musical art within its very existence. As a man born and raised in Bahia s backcountry his compositions brings us as much possibilities of the feeling sense as of thinking, which reconfigure life. There are in these telluric elements that drive us, amongst others, to musical landscapes of mills, of women peeling manioc, of cowboy caravans, of love stories and sacred or profane parties. Although, there is also in Teixeira s work the elements which escape the experienced chronology and that come from immemorial times which cannot be dated. From these circumstances this work will investigate the path that might connect through music the backcountry to the ancient Greeks. In this case, the numinous experience is the mystery that guides to art. The suspension of time and reasoning reverberate sense and feelings which do not cease to tell us something, and which act directly upon human actions, both for good and bad. That is why the uniqueness of musical power is unceasingly narrated in our history.
