Melopoeia is The Art of Composing Melodies; This Treatise is akin to none other. Pulling upon the threads from before Antiquity and beyond QUANTIUM CADERENCE, this Literary Tapestry of Texture is woven together with Lao-Tzu, Plato, Aristotle, St. Gregory, Fux, Mozart, and beyond Schoenberg; only THE GREAT MINDS can conceive of such endeavors. No prior Scholastic Knowledge, nor Musical Talent, is necessary to glean from these pages "Rules of Thumb" that will guide THE COMPOSER towards a SKILL-SET that can only be acquired by Direct Experience. Observable Philosophy, Knowledgeable Beliefs and Achieved Experiences are The Eternal Quest -within-The Great Composer. "So in their beautiful array, things form, and never know decay." (Lao-Tzu #21 "Tao Te Ching" trans. by J. Legge) "Plato states clearly in his "The Republic" @ 398c] that both behavior and emotion are inter-lain of The Rhythm and Mode." "To paraphrase Aristotle's Axioma: "The non-existent can produce no effect"." "St. Gregory received The Chants..." "Gradus ad Parnassum" = "Steps to Parnassum" by Johann Joseph Fux; circa A.D.1725. ...from The Masters. "Self-Controlled in the most profound ..." "One has a Destination and Destiny..." "...a tight bond that gives the strength..." "Music brings infinite joy and amusement..." "Tota Caelo = The Whole of The Sky." ...from The Author. > "Solveret Atramento "
