I think the colour/m...Now this is very interesting. I think the colour/musical notes may need to involve pitch, because I think it's unlikely that a significant number would assign the same colour to, say, the note A (green in your diagram) at 32cps as 440cps (standard pitch) or 4400cps. On the other hand synaesthesists - or synaesthetes, a higher form of hedonists - might well assign consistent colouring or taste (bitter....sweet) to the different <em>keys</em> represented by the full octave in your diagram. Some composers certainly felt individual keys had a definite colour, G and A (interestingly) being green for Mozart, B flat minor being purple for Beethoven, if I remember right. Then there's the question of the modes - major and minor, tho' there are several others that we hardly ever hear today but which the early church used extensively, my own Lydian among them. I think you should undertake an extensive study of the correlation between keys, modes, cheese (our favourite blue is Roquefort) and coffee and for a little spice throw in erogenous zones.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14227767014123557100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23123441341079609.post-53923111958161074762010-01-06T18:44:56.771+00:002010-01-06T18:44:56.771+00:00Ah, but those pieces aren't entirely gentle, a...Ah, but those pieces aren't entirely gentle, are they?<br /><br />I only said that because I was playing some Mozart Cds whilst sat indoors trapped by the snow.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23123441341079609.post-70460895140381772112010-01-06T17:34:38.120+00:002010-01-06T17:34:38.120+00:00I can see how Vaughan Williams' Lark Ascending...I can see how Vaughan Williams' <i>Lark Ascending</i> would be green (and blue, a mid summer sky), but are all of Vivaldi's <i>Seasons</i> green for you? and what about Rimsky Korsakov's <i>Sheherazade</i>. . . for me that would be blues/purples/sparkly and glittery<br /><br />(and red reminds me that I still have two as-yet-unmade- cushions here for you. . .)I, Like The Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423569600315825506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23123441341079609.post-62488520993294421952010-01-06T15:31:36.716+00:002010-01-06T15:31:36.716+00:00Lots of things I like are red.
