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.

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.
