Hallo an alle Musikliebhaber unter den Dunnetties, sicherlich viele!!!

Folgender Artikel war heute in unserer Tageszeitung (The West Australian – Wednesday 2.5.07). Ich dachte es wuerde euch vielleicht interessieren.


A Scottish church featured in the book The Da Vinci Code is embroiled in a fresh mystery of secret codes and heretical knowledge- but this one could be more than mere fiction.
A former Royal Air Force codebreaker and his composer son say they have deciphered a musical score hidden for nearly 600 years in the elaborate carvings on the walls of Rosslyn Chapel, in Roslin, near the city of Edinburgh.
The pair believe the tune was encrypted because knowledge of music could have been considered heretical.
Thomas Mitchell, 75, a music teacher, and his son Stuart, 41, a pianist and composer, say they became intrigued by the markings on the chapel’s arches more than 20 years ago.
Thomas was particularly struck by the 213 carved cubes in the Lady Chapel.
“I was obsessed by these symbols,” he said. “I was convinced they meant something.”
Using codebreaking skills learnt during the Korean War and his knowledge of classical music, Thomas finally realised that the patterns on the cubes seemed to match a phenomenon called cymatics or Chladni patterns.
These form when a note is used to vibrate a sheet of metal or glass covered in powder.
Different frequencies produce different patterns such as flowers, diamonds and hexagons- shapes all present on the cubes.
The two men have brought the music back to life using instruments from the Middle Ages, adding words from contemporary hymn to finish the piece, called The Rosslyn Motet.

Vergessen wir mal ganz schnell den Da Vici Code, trotzdem hat vielleicht Whistle Willy seine Haende da im Spiel ;-)))) Der wurde leider nicht erwaehnt.

Viele Gruesse an alle und speziell an die Disordely Travellers
Claude
