Five Notes Therapy - Michael Legge, M.A., C.Ht.
 

Healing Music Composition

1. In traditional Chinese music the treble notes are considered yang and the bass notes are yin. Heaven & earth define melody & bass therefore free counterpoint is employed.

2. The basic template contains the five Chinese modes in creation cycle sequence. The modes are two octaves in order to accommodate melody
& bass.

3. Each of the 5 modes is 24 pulses therefore a piece in 4/4 time has 30 measures and a piece in 3/4 time has 40 measures. The bpm is 100 and the whole sequence is repeated 5 times for a 6 minute audition.

4. The time signature indicates polarity, yin or yang: 3/4 is yin, 4/4 is yang. 12 keys x 2 polarities = 24 basic healing music compositions.

5. The 24 basic pieces, with the tempo slowed
to 75 bpm are used for babies, prenatal to
about 6 months.

6. One element is strengthened when one non-harmonic tone is used. 5 elements x
2 polarities x 12 keys
= 120 healing music compositions.

7. Two elements are harmonized when two non-harmonic tones are used. 5 harmonizations from the creation cycle
x 2 polarities x 12 keys
= 120 healing music compositions.
5 harmonizations from
the control cycle x 2 polarities x 12 keys
= 120 healing music compositions.

8. In summary there are 360 musical prescriptions containing 1 or 2 elements and 24 prescriptions containing no element.

9. There is a loss of vibration when using digital sound files.  In order to compensate for this loss both melody and bass are dropped down an octave in addition to the cantus firmus and counterpoint at normal octave levels.
 

Some of the applications
include psychological rebalancing, seasonal adjustments, organ therapy, allergy elimination, detoxification as well as
pre and post natal care.

Muscle testing is used for determining the correct prescription (key, polarity, elements).

Technology may now exist for using computer diagnostics.

The Five Notes of the Chinese Pentatonic Scale for Strengthening and Harmonizing the Elements

Many years of research to combine Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) with western music composition has resulted in a fascinating approach to wellness via musical treatments composed according to eastern healing principles. There is an amazing correlation between western music theory and CCM.
 

It is the circle of fifths that provides not only the Chinese pentatonic scale with its multiple layers of meaning ranging from emotional and physical
implications to seasonal correspondences, but also the diatonic scale which sets up an interplay between the two.

The twelve branches of CCM designate the twelve main organ-meridian systems. Each of the twelve keys of music has a direct impact on each of the twelve branches. Organs can be targeted with musical treatment once the patient’s energetic system is mapped, correlating keys to organs. The mapping is based on one of the twelve voice tones. The voice does oscillate but there is a primary tone that can be isolated.

Modes, key signatures, transpositions, time signatures, beats per minute, non-harmonic tones and two-part counterpoint are used for constructing 384 healing music compositions (12 keys X 32 core templates = 384 prescriptions); 2 of the templates are used
for prenatal and postnatal care of infants to about 6 months of age. Muscle-response testing is used in order to prescribe the correct remedy from the 384 musical prescriptions.

Listening to the correct prescriptive music can
address the energetic imbalances that lie
beneath the dysfunction
or disease, lessening or eliminating physical and emotional distress.
