Shostakovich - Dance of the Gutted Fish - A432 Hz
This is from the Shostakovich Symphony no. 11 in G-minor. I have always seen (or heard) the G note as a turquoise blueish color. Cool. Fluid. Aqueous. // But the more I think about it, it seems to me that G is also the key of communication. I noticed that people generally converse in G (in general, communicative conversation). The teachers say that blue is the color of the throat-chakra. And this would make perfect sense with speech and verbal communication rooted in around G major. G sounds fluid; smooth, yet open. It's also quite fascinating that Shostakovich chose the minor version of this for his symphony about the 1905 Russian Revolution. Union worker protests in St. Petersberg were met with violence by the Soviet government. Over 100 protestors were killed, sparking the "Bloody Sunday" that would start the Revolution. It's also brilliantly keen that the dancer here, Esposito, chose the dying-fish theme for his dance to this Symphony. Even his ballet slippers and hands were painted a salmon color, and under salmon-colored lighting with a blue background.The metaphor of water, and the fish being killed parallels the Symphony all the way: G major as speech. But inverted into the minor mode, G becomes a metaphor for silencing of speech. All praise to Dimitri Shostakovich and his musical messages. May he not be cancelled. May his spirit shine on. And all the more praise to biggest fish of all, Jesus Christ who was silenced long before that Bloody Sunday.
