Synopses & Reviews
The voice itself is a cathedral, says Susan Hale. We are all sound chambers resonating with the One Song. She explores, not just ordinary music, but music with the power to transport us to a greater reality, experimenting with sound in many of the world's sacred sites, including prehistoric caves, Egyptian pyramids, abbeys, monasteries, and Rosslyn Chapel, where the harmonic codes built into the arches may reveal the secret knowledge of the Knights Templar.At last, a true adventurer in music healing addresses how sacred places hold the power of sound to give us a sense of the ineffable.--from the foreword by Don Campbell, author of The Mozart Effect.
Synopsis
Visionary singer Susan Hale believes that early peoples deliberately built their structures to enhance natural vibrations. She takes us around the globe-from Stonehenge and New Grange to Gothic cathedrals and Tibetan stupas in New Mexico-to explore the acoustics of sacred places. But, she says, you don't have to go to the Taj Mahal: The sacred is all around us, and we are all sound chambers resonating with the One Song.
