The unique scholarship and ar1s1c sensi1vity of Prof. Dr Hermann Beckh (1875_1937) is in the process of being rediscovered. The great linguist, Orientalist and Chris1an priest _ an ac1ve music-lover who also composed _ penned pioneer works on our musical system that are respected by musicians and musicologists. This volume brings together two revised versions of his best-loved books. The Essence of Tonality is wriMen __for musicians and musiclovers who, because of their par1cular musicality experience something spiritual _ and for spiritual seekers and sensi1ve people who, because of their par1cular spirituality, have experienced a connec1on with music._ Beckh believed a spiritual view of tonality would ensure music_s, and humanity_s, future. The author elucidates the correspondence of the circle of fiShs (the keys) to the zodiac. Research should be directed towards the twelve vital, spiritual key-centres, as expressing the cosmic rhythms in which we all live, rather than the abstract twelve chroma1c notes of atonality. In The Parsifal Christ-Experience, Beckh_s original insights throw new and powerful light on the search for meaning in our age, for a knowledge of the heart. In the poe1c libreMo and remarkable music of his final crea1on, Wagner _ acknowledged by Bruckner as _the Master_ _ presents the Grail legend and its imagery. The psychological drama and its ul1mate solu1on provide insights to anyone who is prepared to reflect on inner experience. Through Beckh_s references to Wagner_s own leMers, as well as a remarkable leMer from Nietzsche, the reader gains knowledge of the true nature of Wagner and his work.
