CÂNTICOS DEVOCIONAIS 9

A 'live' performance on my evocation of the 10-string Biblical lyre of the beautiful Shabbat melody composed by Rabbi Israel Goldfarb, "Shalom Aleichem" - track 19, "King David's Lyre; Echoes of Ancient Israel".
This album and its sequel, "Lyre of the Levites: Klezmer Music For Biblical Lyre" attempt to evoke the feeling of the music of ancient Israel/Judea, with arrangements of both traditional Jewish sacred and instrumental Klezmer music, uniquely arranged for my evocation of the 10-string Biblical lyre known in Hebrew as the "Kinnor", which is vividly described both throughout the Biblical text and also in the writings of the first century Jewish historican, Flavius Josephus, who actually witnessed the Levites play their Kinnors in the Temple of Jerusalem: http://ancientlyre.com/the_biblical_k...
In this 'live'performance, I also use the wonderfully pure just intonation of antiquity (courtesy of the iPod "Cleartune" App!) There is evidence to suggest, from the life's work of the late Suzanne Haik Vantoura, that the very same ancient musical modes still heard today in both instrumental klezmer and sacred Jewish music, had their ultimate origins in the music of the Levites, once performed in the ancient Temple services.

MILKY WAY BLUES

Explanation: This musical expression lets you "hear" how our Milky Way Galaxy rotates. Radio telescopes observe different spectral emission lines to probe different phases of gas (atomic, molecular, ionized) in our Galaxy. Astronomers measure the Doppler shifts of these lines to determine gas velocities along the path that the telescope is pointing. To turn one of these observations into musical notes, the measured gas velocities are mapped to a pentatonic minor blues scale.

Every note you hear and circle you see represents gas that is either coming toward us (high notes and blue color) or going away from us (low notes and red color). Different gas phases are played by different instruments and shown by different colored borders on the circles. Each observation is represented by a line showing where the telescope was pointing and the positions of the circles along a line show the locations of the gas in the Galaxy. The star symbol shows the location of the Sun. The intensity of the emission coming from the gas is heard as longer note durations and shown as larger circles. With every new measure, the lines swing around to new observations.

Putting it all together, the variation of musical pitches heard in the Milky Way Blues portrays the motion of gas as it orbits around the center of our Galaxy.
