Music
Rebecca Penkett was encouraged by Rainbow Light Foundation to create harp music by following her intuition. This musical technique became an exploration into the multi-dimensional nature of music and sound vibration and is rooted in the principles of harmony within ancient music as taught by Pythagoras. Its purpose is to increase understanding of music, aid relaxation and bring peace and harmony through musical medicine from the harp.
Harmonious harp and lyre music has soothed mankind with peace and relaxation since ancient times: In the bible David played the harp to relieve Saul’s depression; and Pythagoras played musical medicine on the lyre to heal the soul.
The word ‘harp’ originates from the Anglo-Saxon word meaning ‘to pluck’. It is the oldest known stringed instrument and was considered sacred in Ancient Egypt. Images of harps have been found in French cave paintings dating back to 15,000 BC.
“There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres.”
Pythagoras
