In preparation for this week’s Orchestral Conducting class at Juilliard,
I was studying the score and liner notes from the CD’s for Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony,
third and fourth movements.

 

I do my best to listen to several different recordings of performances,
because not only do different conductors bring their individual musical interpretations
to the performances, but they (unknowingly) also actually bring their own
Calibrated Level of Consciousness to the performance.

 

One of the things that I like to do is Consciousness Calibration Research = one on
the actual piece of music by the composer, and one on the specific recorded
performance with that conductor and orchestra.

 

Look for my comparison spreadsheet that will be available when I release
my CD series of Consciousness Music, and in our membership site,
ConsciousWorldMusic.com (currently pre-launch).

 

In the liner notes of the CBS Masterworks Series with Leonard Bernstein
conducting the New York Philharmonic, it is stated that the finale of Beethoven’s
Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67, is “a glorious ascent from the darker recesses
of the soul to the light of courageous, challenging life.”
Wow. How cool is that?

 

Beethoven knew that his purpose was to create music that would uplift mankind.
Because of that knowing, and his courage and persistence to take action
on that intuitive knowing, his music still is still here influencing and affecting us
hundreds of years later.

 

What is the purpose of the composer(s) and performer(s) of the music
that you listen to?

 

What do you think the consciousness is of today’s popular music
composers and performers? Why are they writing and performing?

Where do you think they would calibrate on Dr. David Hawkins’ Consciousness Scale?

• Grief?
• Fear?
• Anger?
• Desire?
• Pride?
• Courage?
• Responsibility?
• Acceptance?
• Reason?
• Love?
• Joy?
• Peace?

 

Thank you.
