Tune into the Sea – Shvi'i Shel Pesach

 

When Moshe and Am Yisrael sang Shirat Hayam, in which key was it sung?

I would like to propose that it was sung in the key of C major and you will soon see why.

Firstly, I would like to discuss a special frequency in nature – the frequency of 528 Hz.

In order to understand the significance of this frequency we need to explore some science.

We know that the sun emits electromagnetic radiation, but it is not only the sun. All the planets generate a magnetic field, with a specific frequency.

In the 1950's a German scientist by the name Winfried Otto Schumann, studying the effects of lightning strikes, determined that planet earth emits electromagnetic radiation in the frequency 7.8Hz. This has subsequently become known as the Schumann frequency. It is a low frequency and out of the range that the human ear can detect.

In multiple studies, scientists have determined that exposure to this frequency has healing effects on the human body, improved cognitive function, reduced stress, enhanced immune and sleep function, etc. People who live in the country (out of cities), closer to the earth/nature are more exposed to this frequency and its healing power.

This Schumann frequency is a key building block of life on earth and is also a key component of the 528 Hz frequency we are so interested in. In fact, the 528 Hz frequency is (rounded off) 68 times the Schumann frequency, 68 is the gematria for חַיִּים, life. When it describes Chava in sefer Breishit as the mother of all life, אֵם כָּל חַי (בראשית ג, כ) this is what it means – כָּל חַי in gematria is 68.

Archeologists have found ancient musical instruments tuned to the 528 Hz frequency and some researchers claim that David's harp was tuned to this frequency.

Another significance of the 528 Hz frequency is associated with the number 7, the seventh day, Shabbat.

The planet Saturn, or שַׁבְּתַאי in Hebrew, is so called because it has special association to the number seven, the word שַׁבָּת, the seventh day of the week (רמב"ם, הלכות יסודי התורה, ג'). According to Chazal the angel Michael, the protecting angel of Am Yisrael is also called שַׁבְּתַאי (ראב"ע, ראשית חכמה) Why does this concern us? Simply, because just as scientists have determined that the earth's resonant Schumann frequency is 7.8 Hz, they have also determined that the resonant frequency of Saturn is 528 Hz.

The number 528 is not limited to sound, it is also a cornerstone of mathematics, for example, it is an important number in devising formulas for generating the value of Pi.

Getting back to music, the first "recorded" musical sounds in history are the ancient Solfeggio scale. This is the first musical "written notation" and is attributed to Gregorian monks. As we well know, the Christians copied many of their religious "building blocks" from Judaism, for example, the cross was a crib on the pattern of מְשִׁיחַת הַשֶּׁמֶן, the spreading of oil, on the Menachot and also on the forehead of a Kohen upon his inauguration into service in the Mikdash. The Gemara (Menachot 75a) says that this pattern resembled the Greek letter Chi, which was shaped like the letter X. It is very likely that the earliest Solfege notes were a crib on the Shirat HaLevi'im in the Mikdash.

The third note in the ancient Solfeggio scale is named "Mi" and has a frequency of 528 Hz. The name Mi is derived from the Latin "Mira gestorum", meaning "miracle". The frequency 528 Hz was considered the miracle frequency, and rightly so, as can be seen from the above.

In the modern scale system, the 528 Hz frequency is associated with the note C.

What has all of this got to do with Shirat HaYam?

According to Chazal, the Splitting of the Red Sea took place on the seventh day after the Exodus and this is why on the seventh day of Pesach we sing Shirat HaYam. We have already seen a close connection with the number seven and the 528 Hz frequency.

So, on what is my theory that Am Yisrael sang Shirat HaYam in C major, the frequency 528 Hz, based?

Simple. The gematria of אָז יָשִׁיר is … you guessed it, 528.

Also, the gematria of זֶה אֵ-לִי וְאַנְוֵהוּ אֱ-לֹקֵי אָבִי וַאֲרֹמְמֶנְה(וּ) is 528.

And just by the way, 528 is also the gematria for פֶּסַח מִצְרַיִם and finally נִיסָן מָשִׁיחַ.

I couldn't end without some reference to the Lechem HaPanim, so here it is - 528 is the gematria for חַלָּה מָן פַּרְנָסָה.
