During her session, she experienced a very personal and powerful “Creative Cosmic Activation” which shifted her artistic career from a traditional design to a completely different expressive style. Her present work now reflects a creative style that is attuned to the Higher Cosmic Energies that are sweeping the planet as Mother Earth’s Ascension begins to speed up. This cover scene is a very realistic one that exhibits what is Destined to occur very soon when mass Divine Intervention takes place. It represents thousands of Merkabah Lightships of the Intergalactic Confederation that descend toward Earth to begin what is called “First Contact” which is the start of the waves of Worldwide Evacuation. Rebecca has “Cosmically Subliminally Encoded” specific Higher energetic words, symbols, and frequencies within this historical image. Although the conscious mind does not see these images, the subconscious mind will detect them and this will help “Cosmically Trigger” the lifting of the “Cosmic Amnesia Veils” that most Light Workers had placed over their minds before taking Earth embodiment. The lifting of these veils will help them remember their Cosmic origins and beautiful memories that they have of Higher realms. These Volunteer Souls of Light will experience a wonderful Awakening of their Missions on the planet. At the same time, this scene is designed to help draw the dark “denial spirits” back to the viii PREPARE FOR THE LANDINGS! Light and to disempower them from any more sabotaging of the Sacred Laws of Creation. Rebecca warmly welcomes personal requests for similar and unique Cosmic and planetary scenes.

DEDICATION We dedicate this book: To God, our Divine Creator, the I Am That I Am, our Radiant One; Who’s Divine Blueprint Plan and Sacred Promise of Divine Intervention is about to be Fulfilled. To all members of all Commands and Fleets of the Intergalactic Confederation of Worlds/Universal Federation of Light who orbit this planet in Guardian Action and who Monitor, Protect, and Overshadow all Volunteers and Light Workers presently in Earth embodiment. To all those who are fulfilling their Missions of helping heal Mother Earth and assisting with her Ascension experience. To those involved in exposing and transmuting all imbalanced forces of the “cabal” and, thus, ushering in the long overdue Golden Age of Peace. To all the early ‘50’s contactees who were the authentic Pioneers of the original “Flying Saucer Movement,” including George Adamski, Howard Menger, George Van Tassel, Aleo Angelucci, and all the other equally well- known initiates from that Era. To Tuella, and to the other very clear Channels, who have helped Prepare humanity by providing details of the Plan for the upcoming Divine Intervention. x PREPARE FOR THE LANDINGS! And to all our fellow Volunteers (Souls of Light) who are also known as Star People, Wanderers, Walk-ins, Indigos, and Crystal Children. We salute you as you lift your “Cosmic Amnesia Veils” and we honor your courage and “Unbearable Compassion” for having Volunteered to leave the more- advanced worlds and take Earth embodiment at this time, as we now Prepare to complete our Missions and fulfill the SACRED PROMISE! Michael Ellegion & Aurora Light ABOUT THE AUTHORS... MICHAEL ELLEGION Michael Ellegion has had a fascinating and unique background, having been trained in the Edgar Cayce method of Channeling at a very young age. While growing up in southern California, he experienced a life-threatening emergency. During this life-changing event, Michael was physically beamed aboard a Higher Dimensional “Merkabah” Lightship where he encountered very spiritually-evolved angelic ETs. These benevolent human-appearing beings rescued him and helped release his trauma from the experience. Throughout the years, he has had numerous “etheric” visitations from these same Cosmic Beings of Light who have shared extensive information with him about numerous topics. In 1979, he experienced another life-threatening emergency and was once again physically beamed aboard a Merkabah Lightship. During this encounter, his DNA/RNA was vibrationally altered by these Space Brothers, so that he would be able to do Transformational Channeling. Since then, Michael has become well-known for these Channeling sessions that help fel- low Volunteers awaken to their individual Missions. These “Star People” who have taken Earth embodiment at this time are from more advanced worlds. Unlike most Volunteers, he was born without the Veils or “Cosmic Amnesia” being in place. Therefore, he has had conscious memory of his Galactic past and recalls being a member of the Higher Councils of Light. These Councils are a part of the Universal Federation of which the benevo- lent human-appearing beings also belong. One of the memories that Michael refers to herein is the “SACRED PROMISE” that was specifically discussed in these Higher Councils by these “Guardians of Light.” He explains that this is a DEFINITE PLAN to manifest xii PREPARE FOR THE LANDINGS! planetary Divine Intervention and a Worldwide Evacuation, which includes mass landings. In addition to Michael’s physical encounters aboard the Lightships, he has also had the wonderful experience of having an ET (who was incognito and looked like any other Earthling) walk right up to him on Earth and tele- pathically communicate very critical information. Michael has had numerous other communications with these same Higher Forces in which the informa- tion about the DEFINITE PLAN was VERIFIED and RECONFIRMED. At the present time, it is critical to understand that we, on the planet, are getting very close to this awesome historical moment when at long-last this planet will officially become a member of the Intergalactic Confederation, as we join our Cosmic Extended Family throughout the Intergalactic Realms of Light. Yes, this book truly does help one “Prepare for the Landings!” AURORA LIGHT (a.k.a. Aurora Ellegion) Since her early years growing up, Aurora has had first-hand knowledge of human-appearing extraterrestrials. Her experiences consist of more than one life-saving intervention, visitations, telepathic communications, and hav- ing been aboard their craft. It seems that Aurora was destined to speak out on the controversial subject of UFOs and ET contact. Aurora has had a colorful and interesting background, having appeared on hundreds of television and radio shows over the past two decades,

    Musical acoustics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 11/07/13 17:28 Musical acoustics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Musical acoustics or music acoustics is the branch of acoustics concerned with researching and describing the physics of music – how sounds employed as music work. Examples of areas of study are the function of musical instruments, the human voice (the physics of speech and singing), computer analysis of melody, and in the clinical use of music in music therapy. Contents 1 Methods and fields of study 2 Physical aspects 3 Subjective aspects 4 Pitch ranges of musical instruments 5 Harmonics, partials, and overtones 6 Harmonics and non-linearities 7 Harmony 8 Scales 9 See also 10 External links Methods and fields of study Frequency range of music Frequency analysis Computer analysis of musical structure Synthesis of musical sounds Music cognition, based on physics (also known as psychoacoustics) Physical aspects Whenever two different pitches are played at the same time, their sound waves interact with each other – the highs and lows in the air pressure reinforce each other to produce a different sound wave. As a result, any given sound wave which is more complicated than a sine wave can be modelled by many different sine waves of the appropriate frequencies and amplitudes (a frequency spectrum). In humans the hearing apparatus (composed of the ears and brain) can usually isolate these tones and hear them distinctly. When two or more tones are played at once, a variation of air pressure at the ear "contains" the pitches of each, and the ear and/or brain isolate and decode them into distinct tones.

  • Mto.95.1.4.Cuciurean
    Volume 1, Number 4, July 1995 Copyright © 1995 Society for Music Theory John D. Cuciurean KEYWORDS: scale, interval, equal temperament, mean-tone temperament, Pythagorean tuning, group theory, diatonic scale, music cognition ABSTRACT: In Mathematical Models of Musical Scales, Mark Lindley and Ronald Turner-Smith attempt to model scales by rejecting traditional Pythagorean ideas and applying modern algebraic techniques of group theory. In a recent MTO collaboration, the same authors summarize their work with less emphasis on the mathematical apparatus. This review complements that article, discussing sections of the book the article ignores and examining unique aspects of their models. [1] From the earliest known music-theoretical writings of the ancient Greeks, mathematics has played a crucial role in the development of our understanding of the mechanics of music. Mathematics not only proves useful as a tool for defining the physical characteristics of sound, but abstractly underlies many of the current methods of analysis. Following Pythagorean models, theorists from the middle ages to the present day who are concerned with intonation and tuning use proportions and ratios as the primary language in their music-theoretic discourse. However, few theorists in dealing with scales have incorporated abstract algebraic concepts in as systematic a manner as the recent collaboration between music scholar Mark Lindley and mathematician Ronald Turner-Smith.(1) In their new treatise, Mathematical Models of Musical Scales: A New Approach, the authors “reject the ancient Pythagorean idea that music somehow &lsquois’ number, and . show how to design mathematical models for musical scales and systems according to some more modern principles” (7).

It only takes a minute to sign up. I Perfect Fifths gone through many documents, but don't understand what a perfect fifth is. Can somebody please explain with an example? An example is important! In music theory, a perfect fifth is the musical interval corresponding to a pair of pitches with a frequency ratio ofor very nearly so. In classical music from Western culture, a fifth is the interval from the first to the last of five consecutive notes in a diatonic scale. The perfect fifth often abbreviated P5 spans seven semitones, while the diminished fifth spans six and the augmented fifth spans eight semitones. Perfect Fifths example, the interval from C to G is a perfect fifth, as the note G lies seven semitones above C. An interval is just the distance between two notes. The name perfect 5th comes from the idea of a scale. For example the C major scale consists of the following notes:. The 5th note of the scale is G hence the 5th of the C major scale is G. The interval is perfect because if we flip the interval we would get a 4th which exist in the G major scale. Thus C to G is a perfect 5th. The ratio is the ratio of the distance between the notes in hertz.

    ORCHESTRATION BY CECIL FORSYTH M.ATEdin. MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED ST. MARTIN'S STREET, LONDON & STAINER AND BELL, LIMITED S8 BERNERS STREET, LONDON 1914 PREFACE. In this book an attempt is made first, to describe our modern orches- tral instruments, where they sprang from, how they developed, and what they are to-day; next, to trace the types of music which have been reflected in these constructional changes and, in especial, the types most familiar since Beethoven's time. Without some knowledge on these points the student is working in the dark. He is like a Lascar turned loose in a dynamo-house. It is true that one may show him the button, and, if he presses it, he will get a terrific blaze of light. But what is behind the button ? How were the wires laid ? Why is one type of engine better than another for its own purpose? How is the shop to be run in the most economical way 1 All these questions call for answers, and, on the musical side of the analogy, the answers are not difficult to find. For the facts that underlie instrumentation are few and simple: a skin or a metal plate to be beaten; a column of air in a brass or wooden tube with some sort of mouthpiece or embouchure; a string or two—four is a good number—to be bowed, plucked, or struck. These are the essentials and, if the student grasps them, he will soon be brought to see that change comes but slowly and rarely, and that, when it comes, it is more apparent than real.
