Schneider Marius

What has survived the ancient wisdom of sound rites in artistic music, or rather entertainment? According to musicologist Marius Schneider, very little. Very little is also left in the so-called “religious ceremony music”, especially western one. But, somewhere still remain attempts to restore the private channel between heaven and earth. Maybe imitating the sounds of nature. Schneider tells us that it was typical of ancient Egyptian priests to imitate the sounds of birds or other animals.

Souls need the help of the living to succeed in retracing the path of the acoustic world. Music corresponds to heaven; rituals correspond to earth. Marius Schneider’s extraordinary journey into the mythology of sound continues.

Individual chants were meant to mimic the sounds of nature and other animals and songs as emblems. The journey of musicologist Marius Schneider continues in the world of musical mythology and rituals.

To awaken and create divinities one needs to offer them their favorite sound, also called libation. Schneider’s surprising journey into ancestral rites and myths continue, where sound is increasingly the protagonist.

The gods cannot ignore the sound sacrifices that men offer them because these rites touch the very substance of the immortals. They are obliged to participate in it.
