Excerpt from The Rhythm of Life
The last twenty-five years of the nineteenth cen tury mark the beginning of a change, not only in Eu rope, but in America as well. Since then, this change has been gradually going on, affecting almost every thing in life; but while the old is rapidly passing, it is, as yet, only the spring-time of the new, when ideals have not yet taken definite form, so that the whole world to-day may be said to be filled with unrest and expectation. Great composers and poets, who are the true interpreters of human life, have been among the first to herald the new order. But the sphere of mu sic and poetry is just as much filled with unrest and transition as is any other condition of the world's life. In the music of to-day there is the search after some thing that has not yet been attained, which is evidenced by the increased use of chromatics, changes of modu lation, and hitherto unheard of departures in time and rhythm.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of music and colour, exploring their profound impact on human life and well-being. The author takes us on a journey through history, tracing the evolution of music from ancient civilisations like Egypt and Greece, where it played a central role in society, to the great composers of the past few centuries who have shaped our understanding of this art form. Central to the book's exploration is the concept of vibration, a fundamental force that underpins both music and colour. The author delves into the scientific principles of vibration, demonstrating how different frequencies and wavelengths of sound and light affect our minds, emotions, and even our physical bodies. By understanding these principles, we can begin to appreciate the therapeutic and transformative power of music and colour. The book explores a wide range of topics, including the use of music in healing, the relationship between music and character, and the role of music in education. It also delves into the concept of cosmic consciousness and the idea that music can connect us to a higher spiritual reality. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling vision of music and colour as powerful tools for personal and societal transformation. By attuning ourselves to the rhythms and harmonies of the universe, we can unlock our full potential and create a more beautiful and harmonious world.
