Book Description

0895403234 978-0895403230 May 1996
This book is not concerned with the technical side of music, but with a side of music that is unsuspected by the reading public and musicians themselves. When two unseemingly unrelated branches of human activity are brought into conjunction, facts may come to light which may add to the sum total of knowledge, while tending to materially alter previous conceptions. Contents: preliminary; biographical, analytical, aesthetical; esoteric consideration, the music of the deva or nature spirit evolution; historical; some occult prognostications.
--This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!, November 7, 2007
It's more than a review of history of music. It open your eyes to see and understand how music influence in countries, and how music has been used by those Higher Powers that guide mankind through evolution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who Knows Cyril Scott, October 18, 2000
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Music: Its Secret Influence Throughout the Ages (Paperback)
Seems that the entire musical and literary work of Cyril Scott is a strong and simple thrust of "returning home" . But he wrote and composed during XX century, which moste precious objective was to " run forward". Nobody knows where. Just, purely, run forward. Such was the idea of all to many modern artists. That was not the idea of Cyril Scott. Therefore, he had a problem. How to compose music that "returned home", during the XX's century? How to creat something vivid, full of art-in-tension? Mozart, Beethoven and Wagner had metaforaly for some, literary for others - achieved this, using all "available quality". Nothing could besaid afterwards. Seemed as if the ray of music had completed it's journey. That is the reason why Cyril Scott music is, in a certain way, heroic. Not in tone, not in harmony, but in spiritual intention. We suspect that during the turn of XIX century to XX century, this iman was changed, by not-seen hands. And that Scott and few others simply registered the change. They only had to let the metal particles fall on to the white sheet of paper.
