Blink Howl Toward Psalm Tunes


HostA333 Blink Howl Toward Psalm Tunes

We will, Lord willing, end up with improved Psalm tunes in the future.
(For a survey of some present methods, see the Appendix.)
This has 4 parts. 1—‘Blink’. 2—Howl. 3—Reverse Cymatics. 4—An example, a poor one.
Then we must go to the great structural art work of James B. Jordan.
‘Blink’.  In the book by that name, Gladwell tells of someone who bought a statue, but thought it might be a fake. He invited 3 are experts to take a look.  Each had a different ‘blink’. One saw a glass wall descent between. Another got nauseous. A third blurted:’ I hope you haven’t paid for thatyet!’ (These are as I remember them, but I may be mistaken.
Howl. A Teaching Company audio course had  statement, something such as: Jazz came from the howl of the Southern field hand in the field. (Or wass it the blues?)
Reverse Cymatics. Cymatics shows us that sand thinly distributed on a metal plate forms into geometric patterns when a soun is put onto the plate. Different sounds/frequencies, different geometric patterns. Now, Joshua P. Warren believes that geometric shapes might induce different sounds.
(James Jordan, working with Hebrew Cadence (Cascione, ‘Repetition in the Bible’) has produced structures for some of the Psalms.
My proposal is this: Those with musical intuition, when viewing Jordan’s structures, may blink howl something that could result in psalm tunes. We know that something inspires tunes.




EXAMPLE. Psalm 117 with ending of Psalm at end of its section, 150:6.

Thus: (Verses put into what Hartman considers to be a more singable form—high, low, middle explained below. Also the dashes help with showing what is used tyo sing the words)
High           Low               Middle
O praise -- the Lord, -- all ye nations:

High      Low     Middle
praise -- him, -- all ye people.

Low                                                                   Middle
2 For his merciful kindness is great toward -- us:

Low
and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever.

High      Middle    Low
Praise – ye --        the Lord.

                              Middle                                                  High       Low
(Psalm 150:6  6) Let every thing that hath breath --  praise -- the Lord.
High     Middle                    Low
Praise – ye --                      the Lord.

Explanation:  There are 5 ‘praises’.  There are 6 ‘praisers’—nations, peoples, us, ye, every thing, ye  There are 7 ‘Lords’—Lord, him, his, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord.
I flipped these so that ‘Lord’ is lowest, ‘praisers’ is in the middle, and ‘praise’ is high.
It would be best to line this out.  The pastor/cantor/leader sings a line first, and then the others sing the same line. Those who are better will do better with more complicated Psalms.
The structures are in James B. Jordan’s computer. Some material is on the Theopolis website.
We will, Lord willing, end up with improved Psalm tunes in the future.

[High, Low Middle is Psalm tone D (LCMS) and also reflects Rosenstock’s view that everything important that happened in the first 1000 years after The Resurrection happened in the Church (Heavens Above). Hartman maintains that the scientific method is the liturgy structure applied to The Waters Under, and that The Symphonic Method is oneanothering one another, liturgy/service toward people made of dust/dirt, the Earth Beneath.]

APPENDIX
May 4, 2019 A 12th New and Better Biblically Psalmsing
I’ll list 11 or so. I’m sure there are more. Then I’ll describe #12
1—Book of Psalms for Singing—RPCNA—sues other tunes
2—Dutch Doors—all in 8 syllable ‘translations’
3--Lutheran chant. In worship there’s editing and combining, and are some (imprecatory) left out?
4—Lining out.  Elder sings, others repeat. More mature would be to have a book each sings too. Even more mature would be to have them by heart, ans Rosenstock says English gentlemen did (‘Out of Revolution).
5—Gregorian Chant, etc. Hardly the tempo of ‘War Songs of the Prince of Peace’.
6—What did they do in medieval times, when Psalms were sung continuously by monks all over Europe?
7—What do they do at Uri Brito’s Psalm Roars.\?
8—Someone one the internet (sic) claims that each Hebrew letter is a note.
9—Haik-Vantoura surely has some Psalms. She and her people claim that there were extra dots in the Masoretic text that indicated musical notation for the whole Hebrew text.
10—Dr./ Maddox sings them in Hebrew.
11—Pick and choose some tune.
12—Here’s the new stuff.  James Jordan used to send out structures of Psalms, with repeated words, and matching words highlighted. He indicated Hebrew Cadence (Cascione: ‘Repetition in the Bible’ for each.  This made a picture, and was very instructive.  NOW, AND THIS IS IMPORTANT Jonathan P. warren claims that we can do reverse cymatics.  That’s one.  We know that sounds can produce geometric figures in sand (even water: Dr. Emoto (spelling?).  Can geometric figures, struc tures, produce music? Two.  Maybe if we have a musical intuitive.  One of my therapist has hands that can detect energy imbalance and flows in my body. I can’t do it. She can.  (The book to read is by Upledger: ‘Craniosacral Therapy: Touchstone for Natural healing.0 Three: Rich Bledsoe says that many women have intuitive senses that most men don’t. Could these be tapped? Four. At a Biblical Horizons conference, JBJ brought a composer. He could make a song from the last 4 digits of one’s phone number—the notes. Five. If there are 12 instances of a word in Hebrew Cadence in a Psalm, could the 7 white keys and 5 black be sprinkled on the instnaces, ,one per, to make the beginning of a tune?

I’m sure there are more ways. I’ve found 117 plus the last verses of 150 to be vere ‘out-lineable’ and useful. I use Psalm Tone D, which shows high, low, middle notes for the last three of each line (I split lines). But that’s parroting. It’s like the chapters of Exodus that relate God’s instructions to Moses for building the Tabernacle, followed by chapters exactly repeating that they did that.  But we have a Tabernacle of David that requires more maturity.  ‘I will respond, though I must be changed’: Rosenstock.

Our howls become music: Teaching Company on Jazz. Levitical system, animals howl as they’re killed becomes Psalms—that’s another example.
God is our song and strength—How Shall We Then Sing Psalms?

(Excerpt from being written ‘Opus 53: Conduct,’ being an attempt to orchestrate the next era of human history. It needs re-simplification for group work, and an app to be downloaded by billions.  This is a Toscanini effort. He was a symphony conductor. The story goes that the visiting conductor fell ill, and when people wondered what to do, other said ‘Let AArture (first violinist) do it. He knows everyone’s part’.}

Can this relate to the reverse cymatics of Psalmsing #12? https://www.sciencenews.org/article/artificial-intelligence-art-monkey-neurons?fbclid=IwAR2oQmNfhZPgOgL1y35nPoAyYviN8AxebauOrOvXfuvOQ5jMZnh1-xpZRuA

How to get to good Psalms music. (See my '12th' posts.)



1--Jazz (blues?) came from the howl of th southern field worker. (Teaching Company course).

2--In 'Blink,' Gladwell tells the story of theree reactions (blinks, howls) of art cfcritics to a fake statue. Nausea, a glass wall, 'I hope you haven't paid for that yet!'

3--AI art makes monkeys neurons fire differently.

4--JBJ's Psalms work places the words in an artisic form, with Hebrew Cadence-like emphases.

5--There is intuition. See Bledsoe's 'Saul Alinsky' and medical intuition work.

6--Mundanely, when I see a far view of a golf drive, I can tell if it will be a slice, etc. Many can.

7--'Playing' different parts of the tabernacle as an octave and more will work.



So, to sum up, our reactions to artistic renderings will grow to music.



The unartistic, unexplained is nausea-causing.



Love in King Jesus,



Chuck

PS: Gregorian Chant is hardly a war song of the Prince of Peace.

PPS: Bullinger has some structures.

Later: Words and music must match. Steve Allen reading lyrics, and the new Clint Eastwood praise song thing.

50 Years from now



Someone will surely be researching us, as JBJ did to get his Civil-War era 'Selah' article, and somewhere Theopolis has the ART forms JBJ did for his monthly donors, re:Psalms.



Find them, and use them to inspire 'howls to music' 'blinks' toward Biblically Better Psalm music.



Love in King Jesus,



Chuck

May 17 A. D. 2019 to BH:

Reverse Cymatics 1: Emphasize the Hebrew Cadence



Assign 'cadencers' to sing especially and particularly the words repeated in a Psalm a significant number of times. This 'Hebrew Cadence' is a way that the Psalm writer unifies and emphasizes the message.



Even a basically non-musically--intuitive such as I can see that.



Possibly upcoming: Tabernacle musical instrument tour (modified Bull), and words as protuberances from hidden tabernacles.



To see something such as this in history, Barzun's 16th-17th C. musical explosion account is good.



I'd much prefer other methods to getting this done, a long-term project.



Does anyone have JBJ's 'to monthly contributors' Psalms work, with the structures?



Love in King Jesus,



Chuck
PS: Since the Psalms are the ur-music (from howls of sacrificed animals), there should be much monetization, long-term—iTunes!
