[Ponte Alto] Something for our choir members

[Mary Bowles]

Hi James,
   
  Pass along to your friends father how incredable that was. I can't even imagine how much time and effort that project took. It makes sense, and I can wholly see it happening as described.
   
  WOW!

  "Rosslyn Chapel holds a musical mystery in its architecture and design. At 
one end of the chapel, on the ceiling are 4 cross-sections of arches 
containing elaborate symbolic designs on each array of cubes (in actual fact 
they are rectangles mostly). The 'cubes' are attached to the arches in a 
musically sequential way. And to confirm this, at the ends of each arch 
there is an angel playing a musical instrument of a different kind. After 27 
years of study and research by Stuart's father Thomas.J.Mitchell, we believe 
he has found the pitches and tonality that match the symbols on each cube, 
revealing its melodic and harmonic progressions. It is what we could call 
'frozen music', a little like cryogenics. The music has been frozen in time 
by symbolism, it was only a matter of time before the symbolism began to 
'thaw out' and begin to make sense to scientific and musical perception."
