"ROSSLYN CHAPEL: THE MUSIC OF THE CUBES" by Thomas Mitchell - price £9.99 Details here

 

THE ROSSLYN MOTET
and SONGS OF THE CHARTRES LABYRINTH
MEMBERS OF THE TALLIS CHAMBER CHOIR,
THE CHARTRES SINGERS

Hidden away in strange carvings on the arches of Rosslyn Chapel, Edinburgh (immortalised in "The Da Vinci Code") is the cymatic notation of an ancient hymn, possibly coded by members of a cult of John the Baptist linked to the original (real) Knights Templar).  Now de-coded, so forget the myths and fictions about the Holy Grail - this is the REAL Rosslyn secret.
The disc also includes Thomas Mitchell's "Songs of the Chartres Labyrinth" which is related to Rosslyn in several ways. For more detail click here

review extracts: for full reviews click here
“There’s no doubt about it: the [Rosslyn] music is gravely beautiful in its relative simplicity, and credibly ‘ancient’. It is performed by an accomplished, pure-toned quartet of singers. [The Chartres piece] is both sober and appealing. This passes what might be called a ‘blindfold test’: I enjoyed the music even before I knew what was behind it.” – Raymond S. Tuttle (International Record Review)
“A hauntingly beautiful composition… the music literally shines from the recording. The piece unfolds like a sacred tapestry. This is music to listen to again and again. Music that resonates within the chambers of the body, a healing balm to body, mind and soul.” – Susan Hale (Caduceus)
