Hidden Music Claimed In Da Vinci Painting 220

Posted by kdawson from the tinfoil-palletes dept.
snib sends us to CNN for coverage of an Italian musician and computer technician who claims to have uncovered a hidden musical score in Leonardo Da Vinci's "Last Supper." Giovanni Maria Pala published this and other findings about the 'Last Supper' painting in his book The Hidden Music, released in Italy Friday. "[This raises] the possibility that the Renaissance genius might have left behind a somber composition to accompany the scene depicted in the 15th-century wall painting. 'It sounds like a requiem,' Giovanni Maria Pala said. 'It's like a soundtrack that emphasizes the passion of Jesus.'"

        [sarcasm]xml can be semantic, that's like asking if there's "objects" in the painting [/sarcasm]. Personally, I would let the artist's peers judge him, this is after all a field of professionals and if the music is a good it may simply prove that there is a rhythm to the painting.

        after searching google [google.com] I found this:

        "There's always a risk of seeing something that is not there," Pala admits, "but it's certain that the spaces are divided harmonically."

        http://www.newser.com/story/11396.html [newser.com]

        Which apparently can be proven mathematically [google.com].

        My theory: we can say that Leonardo Da Vinci was smart like Einstein with lots of wide ranging problems rather than a few concentrated ones, and his work will have both breadth AND depth by any typical genius' standards. We're talking people like Einstein, Beethoven, Shakespeare and few others. Now Da Vinci wasn't like any of them, he was a "typical" genius in several fields of study and is known "for" using math in his work http://www.google.com/search?&q=leonardo+da+vinci+math [google.com].

        Heres an interesting quote:

        Leonardo invented some of his own mathematical symbols and terms. Many scientists of his time did this because number notation was not standardized until after the invention of the printing press. This made it difficult for scientists and mathematicians to communicate their ideas to each other. The symbols used today for the numbers one through ten come down to us from ancient India by way of Greece, Rome, and the Moors in medieval Spain.

        http://www.hypatiamaze.org/leonardo/leo_vinci.html [hypatiamaze.org]

        Actually, if he was fond of creating his own symbolism you might find something quite "like" xml in his work somewhere... far smarter than you or I. I wrote a phonetic substitution cipher [wikipedia.org] in fourth grade. It was unique in that you could "speak" encrypted English by most laws of the English language. "Peds oue" means "fuck you" that's all I remember, anyways I'm not far above average intelligence. Da Vinci and the others I mentioned are generally considered to be OFF the charts.

          I'd be willing to bet that most creative, curious people do this in one form or another. Feynman did (and then mostly abandoned these schemes for the established ones, except for the revolutionary Feynman diagrams); I did (various "easier" symbols for polynomial terms, and oft-used functions; also a phonetic language, with some musical-like notation---I realized in high school that I'd just reinvented Fourier analysis applied to various phonemes); many of my friends did similar things.

          Yes; I'm kind of sceptical of claims such as

          "There's always a risk of seeing something that is not there, but it's certain that the spaces [in the painting] are divided harmonically," he told the AP. "Where you have harmonic proportions, you can find music."
          Where compositions are methodically laid out in an aesthetically pleasing way, chances are that will lend itself to non-random patterns that sound nice. (And that's on top of everything everyone else said). This really doesn't prove anything in itself.

          Anyway, I've used technology to determine what the lyrics to this piece of music are:-

Anyway, I don't dismiss things like this completely out of hand as it's certainly within the realm of possibility. I read the article and they didn't provide a link to the song and I hope that they're not trying to get some kind of copyright on it as there is most certainly prior art(heh heh) here. Also a musician that truely loves his work can find music in just about anything hence songs like Flight of the Bumblebee, Blue Danube, and that one where the whole song tries to sound like a Typewriter.

      Simply because if you let someone define the pattern and then let them have a large enough sample size, they'll always find an example of it. He claims that if you were to draw horizontal lines that the bodies would for musical notes, but for paintings of the last supper, this is incredibly likely to happen, and if you get 15 or so of them together, you're going to have something that sounds decently like music. If he can take that same pattern and find it in more of Da Vinci's work, then he may be onto something. Right now it's just too likely to be a fluke.

      Besides, with the number of times that it was painted over, there's no way to definitively know whether he's even viewing what Da Vinci painted.

      Da Vinci may not have been religious himself, but he was no fool. He was known to hide riddles in his paintings and painted with his audience in mind - in this case monks. Why wouldn't he have placed something a bit more subtle than just an obviously female looking John and fairly obvious perspective lines and other features which stand out at a glance? The claimed discovery contained more than music - Giovanni Maria Pala also found some ancient Hebrew text.

    She says that the recording is in E-flat minor, but that organs at the time would have been in a different tuning standard, roughly one-half step different than the current standard.

    E-flat minor is a very rare key for that time-period (like it wasn't used until Bach) but if you move the snippet a half step, it would have been E minor, a very common key during that period.

    Furthermore, there are intervals in the snippet that weren't in common use in that time period. I couldn't keep my wife's interest long enough to determine if those intervals made more sense if the entire thing was 1/2 a step down.

    Anyhow, my wife's summary: "very pretty, but probably not from DaVinci's time."

    I believe to have read that the five line notation system wasn't widely used until 16th century. Why would Leonardo Da Vinci use a system of notation that didn't exist?
  • I've done a very carefuly musical analysis of the words contained in TFA, and when mapped through the appropriate steganographic filters it sounds shockingly like a 1985 tribute to a 1973 tribute to Roy Harper called Hats Off To Charles Obscure [sendspace.com].

  • I think a more plausible explanation, if there are actually musical notes in the painting (which I doubt), is that Da Vinci had an idea that there would be a natural beauty in the music that could be expressed in the painting. He may have been trying to bring together the natural attraction we have in each art form, to create something extraordinary. Perhaps we subliminally see the music in the painting, and it adds some sort of attraction that we cannot describe.
