impressive, but don't you just want it to go on longer? I'm wondering if there's a connection with the notes and some of the mysterious musical signs in Rosslyn Chapel. I've emailed a friend of mine who is/was deeply into solving the Rosslyn mysteries to see if he can enlighten me as to what the musical signs were, when we visited the place. I'll let you know if/when he gets back to me, regards M

Have you read this book? I was curious about how he chose the 5 line staff for his interpretation. I did a little research (using "The Notation of Polyphonic Music 900-1600" by Willi Apel, one of my old college texts), and it looks like the standard musical staff in Italy at the time was a six-line staff, and not 5 (as in modern notation). I don't doubt that DaVinci might do something clever like that, I was just interested in how Pala arrived at the melody.

and wondering how it would sound. cool of you to figure it out & remember about his writing backwards.

Who knows maybe it was his theme song. Heeeeeere's Leonardo!

I was wondering about what sort of stave they used, too, even though I don't read music... I just remembered seeing old Gregorian chant notation at an abbey in this part of the world...

It has a very authentic feel, though, and a nice feeling of inevitability as it plays through. Well chosen pipe organ sound, too...

I hadn't heard about this, Alimar... Now you've got me curious...

...sounds like something I wrote when I was in my teens...have to talk to my lawyers.

Teflon da Vinci ain't gonna get get away this one...

;)

Cool, Al. Makes for a nice theme to write some variations off of, too.

This is a really catchy rendition to hear.

I am getting really curious and many questions arises. For example:
How do you know where to put the lines of the musical notation?
How do you know the key?
Does Giovanni Maria Pala give any clues, or are these things for the individual artist to make up?

And it sounds kind of ominous, like an impending betrayal of some kind.

that sounds amazing. i am not familiar with the story behind this, but it is a really deep piece of music and wonderfully performed.

The sound is just marvelous. Is this Jam Pack Symphony Orchestra? I love the release and the reverb after the release. Very authentic and convincing.

Thanks John. I used two different tracks with the "Cathedral Organ" software sound (I believe this is included in JP 4). In the "Track Info" window, I changed the "Instrument Generator" set to "Tonewheel Organ" and manually "Cathedral (full)." The second Generator is "Church Organ" and manually "Full Organ." The reverb is from the "Master Track" preset "Classical - Full Classical." Each channel is bussed to use the Master Track reverb set at about 65% send. The balance between the tracks is slightly in favor of the Tonewheel Organ.
