TREASURE OF THE MOUNTAIN (8 mins) – An invocation to the beings of sound to join us, the title for this piece is taken from the painting of the same name by Professor Nicholas Roerich (see below) and is envisaged as a representation in sound of the journey taken by the eye as it encounters this beautiful painting depicting the Mahatmas in their mountain retreat engulfed in the golden flames of pure fire from the sacred Chalice of the Heart - portrayed through sound using some huge gongs, Tibetan Ting-shag (small cymbals) and mostly through the wonderfully magical sounds of the Singing Bowls.
Although a comparatively short piece, we are quickly transported into the magical realm of the singing bowls where time is transcended and we begin to catch a glimpse of the Voice of the Silence.
