A Universal Language of Music
There is a universal language that can be found in music.
A Universal Language of Music – Hidden in the Hebrew Torah
Judaism is a set of religious beliefs and practices that originated from the Hebrew Bible. The first five books of the Bible are known collectively as the Torah – the five books of Moses. In Judaism, it is believed that there are seventy layers of meaning encrypted within them.
Uri Harel, a Harvard University-trained teacher of the language of ancient Hebrew, believes that one of the seventy layers of meaning is music. So, in 1977, this Biblical scholar began to explore and dissect the language. He wanted to find a formula that would unlock the musical patterns he believes was encrypted in these original Hebrew texts.
After dedicating years of research Harel assigned a specific frequency to each of the letters in the Hebrew alphabet using a scheme that is grounded in the science of Gematria. When he did this to the words of the Hebrew Bible, he discovered beautiful classically arranged compositions.
Harel recorded the beautiful music he has found in these books. But, when the books are translated from Hebrew into any other language, the information, knowledge, and understanding of these texts are diminished to such an extent that it becomes impossible to duplicate the musical effect.
“We have opened the way for a new kind of Bible translation, not into yet another spoken language, but into the Universal Language of Music.” Uri Harel. Also found hidden in the Old Testament is a frequency code, for the upliftment of humanity! In the Old Testament, Numbers 7:12 – 89, a seemingly unimportant text, is divided into mundane activities that occurred on different days. To get the solfeggio tones the Pythagorean skein [1] is applied to the numbers of the associated verses on the different days. For example, verse 12 describes activities that occurred on the first day. Verse 12 has a Pythagorean skein of 12 or 1 +2 = 3.
The second day starts on verse 18 or 1 + 8 = 9.
The third day is located on verse 24 or 2 + 4 = 6.
The first set of numbers in the solfeggio code is composed of combining the Pythagorean skeins, resulting in 396. When applying the same process to the rest of the chapter, the following set of numbers emerge Solfeggio Scale: 396, 417, 528, 639, 741.
[1] In the system of the Pythagorean skein, individual numbers are added up and ultimately reduced to the numbers 1 through 9. For example, the number 245 equates to 2 + 4 + 5 = 11. With the number 11: 1 + 1 = 2. The Pythagorean skein for the number 245 is 2.
