E23 - Music – Military – Moksha 1 of 56 Music - Military - Moksha ---xxx--- Introductory remark: This is an “essay of dedication” on the occasion of presenting birthday-gifts of several musical settings for “Gipsy violin” on “Come Zigany” (Countess Maritza, by Imre Kalman), BBWV 137 and 139. Research could show, that there are strong indications to GIPSY origins “somewhere” in NORTHWEST India of the UPPER INDUS VALLEY of today Pakistan and India, that so far seem however restricted to traces in LANGUAGE – which was elaborated by research of 19th century - and to INDIAN CASTE SYSTEM – however a consistent TIME-TABLE of the WANDERINGS of ROMA-tribes from India to Western Europe so far missing, which gives the really STRANGE situation, that we have Roma MUSICIANS mastering the HIGHEST DIFFICULTY DEGREES, but developing something like “intellectuals” only after World War II. Therefore it came across my mind the idea, that we may search for certain RESTS of INDIAN music – and especially elements from RAGA music - in today Gipsy music, which however is subject of another separated essay – BBWV E24 - to appear in due time. The problem however is, that if the researcher has FEW LISTENING EXPERIENCE in AUTHENTIC Indian music it it difficult, to IDENTIFY those INDIAN ELEMENTS in MUSIC. Another problem is, that, what the “educated audience” may GUESS as indications to “TRUE Gipsy TUNES”, in more than one case may not have to do anything with Gipsies nor India at all! It was debated for instance, that the socalled “Gipsy-scale” as promoted especially by Ferenc Liszt, might not exist at all … In THIS essay I chose for stylistic reasons of “learning by contrast”, to in a certain sense put the “European views” in today “Western” Physics, Philosophy and Politics against the Indian “Hindu-view”, which comes with the special characteristics, that we cannot separate music from philosophy. spirituality and religion in ALL India, which means a LOT, because the term “India” originally was used geographically meaning and covering a “half- CONTINENT”. Everybody knows that this INDIAN situation is quite DIFFERENT from the situation in Europe and the USA, where we at present see culminating a RETREAT of ANYTHING near to philosophy, religion and spirituality from public influence, leaving behind and even denying ANYTHING not considered appropriate to fit into the today BIG BUSINESS of “Western Music” and her DICATATORY DEMANDS and RULES. © Bruno Antonio Buike Neuss: Bruno Buike 2019 E23 - Music – Military – Moksha 2 of 56 The audience such may not be overly shocked, if meeting with – keyword “moksha”, which is the Hindu term for “liberation from the necessity for rebirth on this planet”, which is DIFFERENT – even if related somehow! - from the BUDDHIS understandings of “liberation” and nearly has nothing to do with the today mainly POLITICAL understands of 2liberation” in EUROPE and the U.S.; – keyword “nada-yoga”, which literally would translate to “sound-yoga”, the MEANING of which however may be helpwise tried in relation with antique-Greek “LOGOS”, of which the CHRISTIANS have preserved a SPECIAL interpretation in the “Gospel of St. John”, – the by most today Europeans felt strange somehow interlocking of “physcs with meta-physics” in the ARISTOTELIC sense, which hinting perhaps to a new research-hypothesis, that we have in India, in China and in GRECCE a CAMOUFALGED, partly LOST socalled PALEOPHYSICS, which Joseph P. Farrell and Richard Hoagland tried to recover and explain to the today audience, such perplexing everybody with a NEW HYPERPHYSICS, that they so far have forgotten to explain in school- and course-books, a new physics BEYOND nearly everything of Einteins contemporaries, a physics, that may be called an “etherphysics of the (near- to)-vacuum zero-point” using “tetrahedal astrophysics” - with an underlying new mathemnatics of TOPOLOGIEs with TORUS-geometries of different type, using especially “apple- and spindle-torusses” and even “double-torus” Books of Farrell and Hoagland especially give the impression, as if all this new and hot stuff was developed in a CONTROVERSIAL FRAMEWORK of NAZI- and FREEMASON ANTAGONISTS, poisoning nearly EVERYTHING of today science. This impression however may not portrait the REAL situation nor the “REAL” antagonism, which may be indeed hint to some sort of a REVIVAL of the WELLKNOWN and OLD antagonism between YOUNG CHRISTENDOM and the late-antique GNOSIS, which dichotomy at least was tested for their explanatory powers by authors like Raymond Ruyer1 and Franz Altheim 2. Because my reading and absorption of Indian books is rather limited, it may be objected, that my more often recourse to the “Aristotelian-Hellenistic paradigm” in sciences may produce a distorted picture. Far from that we have on the contrary especially in HELLENISTIC TIMES a CONTAMINATION between Greek-Hellenistic sciences and India as for instance in astronomy and mathematics, say from 300 BC – 600 AC, as the last chapter of the history of the Library of Alexandria was closed. We such may not be surprised too much, that we have even in Europe an OLD BOOK showing some SIMILARITY with INDIAN VEDIC views on “music, cosmos, mathematics” and related matters, that in Europe normally are seen connected with the Pythagorean 1 See Ruyer, Raymond: La gnose de Princeton – Paris: Fayard 1974,; German u..t.: Jenseits der Erkenntnis Die Gnostiker von Princeton, Wien: Paul Zsolnay 1977 2 See Altheim, Franz: : Der unbesiegte Gott.

I may at least hint, that “ONCE” there was a HELLENISTIC-INDIAN contamination in sciences as for instance in ASTRONOMY and MATHEMATICS, so that my personal recourse to the “Aristotelian-hellenistic paradigm” may not distort the “true picture” of RELATIONS between GREEK science and India too much With these short remarks, it may have become understood, that even in these today terrible exaggerations everywhere, we at least may try, what in former centuries was called “detached objectivity” of some sort of “disinvolvement” - or, if someone prefers the Italian- Renaissance term, “desinvoltura”! ---xxx--- ---xxx--- To impress a birthday-party, offering a selfmade piece of music with some certainty probably would not go without some or other notice and effect, especially if we would move in some Polish or East-European surroundings, where music is estimated other than in today Germany, where "my" music for instance has nearly no feedback at all, which only insofar may count as a "gift of the Gods", that I can work outside every HYPE – and only once encountered something similar to a "shitstorm" of "mobbing" in a facebook music group, which simply was stopped in leaving facebook. So to say: It is a blessing, to have colleagues in music – but it may occasionally a greater blessing, not to meet them on a daily basis! This time however it may turn out, that the essay might be much more important than the 3 See “Musica enchiriadis” in Wikipedia EN URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musica_enchiriadis – see “Musica enchiriadis” in Wikipedia DE URL https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musica_enchiriadis © Bruno Antonio Buike Neuss: Bruno Buike 2019 E23 - Music – Military – Moksha 4 of 56 music "delivered", but in another sense as of just "party" – even if the subject unforeseen at first – with even more unforeseen turns and switches: It is no everyday-experience to have for a musical birthday-gift ADDED some NEW SCIENTIFIC THESIS, to START a new direction of research, which indeed has something of a "birth" – and even the charm of socalled "child-questions", even if it is hardly to believe, that it so far seems to have escaped the attention of all those intelligent observers, namely that people ROOTED in India should show SOME
