The Rosslyn Chapel

The Rosslyn Chapel







There has been a sharp rise in interest for the The Rosslyn Chapel, located near Edinburgh, Scotland. The chapel has been the subject of a book, The Da Vinci Code, the movie of the same name part of which was actually filmed on location in the chapel and a motet called The Rosslyn Motet composed by Thomas Mitchell and produced/arranged by Stuart Mitchell.

Built in 1446 by Sir Thomas St. Clair, the chapel was never completed so what exists today is the choir section. There are many interesting carvings which have engrossed people over the years which may or may not contain some code, hence the the Da Vinci Code. Legend has it the chapel and it's creator were connected to the Knights Templar.

Techniques in cymatics relating to the Chladni templates were used to create patterns which matched those of the carvings found in the chapel. It is not known how this came to be which explains the mystery and interest in the chapel. The resulting notes derived from the carvings were incorporated into and inspired The Rosslyn Motet.

It is claimed that the carvings were actually music which somehow became 'frozen in time'. Whatever the case is, the motet and the sounds created are haunting and required listening.
