<p style="background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #3366ff; font-size: small;">Herman Hesse in 'the Glass Bead Game' spoke of J.S.Bach's music as the high point of western civilisation - and he is far from alone in this assessment. Bach's specialty was the pipe organ, and he also built some of these magnificent instruments. Through his use of counterpoint he helped to confirm the modern tempered scale as the primary tuning method for western instruments. </span></p> <p style="background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #3366ff; font-size: small;">Bach also had a special penchant for the musical form known as the Fugue - which explores the possibilities inherent in simple melodic lines that are played over each other at varying speeds and pitches. Sometimes a line will even be played backwards. The overall effect is extremely complex and plays with the ears and the minds perception of time and space.</span></p> <p style="background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #3366ff; font-size: small;">Some of the most profound insights of <a href="http://www.birdtribes.net/sacredgeometry.htm" target="_blank">sacred geometry</a> have helped to create our cultures music theory, and the great pieces of music are a source of inspiration for continuing the endless process of understanding the fundemental nature of the universe. <br /></span></p> <p style="background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #3366ff; font-size: small;">This performace below astounds me with its complexity and the elegance with which it is accomplished.
