A = 432 Hz

Why is music so wholesome?

Everything that vibrates, is making a tone. The cosmos is all vibrations. Each atom vibrates by itself and thus it produces a tone. Billions of vibrating atoms in our bodies create a huge living symphony of yet unheard but very present tones. When we produce sounds or make music, we enhance what we already are! That can only be beneficial for our physical, mental and emotional bodies. This explains why music is the best harmonising force. Music brings people together, it can strenghten their awareness of oneness.

What is the importance of A = 432 Hz ?

There is a certain order in nature.
432 is the square root of the speed of light through vacuum in miles/sec. Twelve hours count 43.200 seconds, one day 84.600 seconds. One minute of the sun-year of 29.920 years (precession-cycle) lasts 432 years. The number 432 is in some cultures (the Maya's and the Babylonians) a 'holy' number. This 'holiness' could refer to the opinion of coherence between 'the music of the spheres' and the music of mankind. These symbols also find expression into other forms of manifestation such as the 432 Buddah statues at Borobudur. The Indian Bhagavad Gita divides the universe into four periods of time wherein matter exists : the Golden Age (172.800 years), the Silver Age (1.296.00 years), the Bronze Age (864.00 years) and the Iron Age (432.000 years). This last period is the present one that is almost finished.

Music in A=432 Hz relaxes.

Our modern western society is characterized by rush. Acceleration is the message, chronic stress is the result. Tension is the cradle of stress, relaxation is the opposite. This also matters in music : the higher the pitch, the higher the tone, the higher the effect of tension. Nowadays music is mostly played in A = 440 Hz, sometimes even higher. Music in this frequency is more than likely present in shops, restaurants, bars as well as in public places such as markets, streets, train- and bus-stations. One of the subconscious effects is an encreased tension and stimulation of activity. Too much tension results in chronic stress, often leading to depression and illness.

W.A.Mozart composed his music in A = 432 Hz. Between the 17th and 19th century that was the main frequency for musicians. Scientific experiments have proved that music played in this frequency relaxes en energises. The Tomatis-therapy uses the music of Mozart to cure ear- and voice-problems. Even dyslectic patients improve their health by this therapy. Conclusion : A =432 Hz is the most natural frequency. Higher frequencies do not match with the frequency of the human body. Musicians as well as listeners experience quicker tiredness with music played in A = 440 Hz and higher frequencies. Singers have to tend their vocal chords more, getting tired faster.

Finally, a purely sensitive supposition is that a higher frequency such as A = 440Hz or even higher appeal to the mind, whilst the lower frequency of A =432Hz rejoins the heart.

All these arguments are sufficient to Guido and Wim to play their music in A = 432 Hz.
