Mystery of the Rosslyn Motet Finally Revealed

Apparently, [tag]Dan Brown[/tag] and his [tag]Da Vinci Code[/tag] are no longer the last word in the encrypted secrets alleged to be in [tag]Rosslyn Chapel[/tag].

Rosslyn Chapel holds a musical mystery in its [tag]architecture[/tag] and design. At one end of the chapel, on the ceiling are 4 cross-sections of arches containing elaborate symbolic designs on each array of cubes (in actual fact they are rectangles mostly). The ‘cubes’ are attached to the arches in a [tag]music[/tag]ally sequential way. And to confirm this, at the ends of each arch there is an [tag]angel[/tag] playing a musical instrument of a different kind.

It took them 27 years, but Thomas J. Mitchell and his composer son Stuart finally decoded the mysterious melody carved on projecting cubes in four of the arches in Rosslyn Chapel.
