I was reading the Cassiopaean transcripts and they mentioned combining Beethoven's 9th with prime numbers....has anyone tried to do this yet? Also I found a site called 9 B e e t S t r e t c h that has taken this symphony and stretched it to extend for 24 hours......I wonder if meditating on prime numbers while listening to this extended play could help? Anyway if anyone could give some tips on where to begin on how to search for the connection as I am music illiterate.......for those interested and for fun I have copied and pasted the words to this piece below:

Words to the Ode to Joy

Joy, bright spark of divinity,
Daughter of Elysium,
Fire-inspired we tread
Thy sanctuary.
Thy magic power re-unites
All that custom has divided,
All men become brothers
Under the sway of thy gentle wings.

Whoever has created
An abiding friendship,
Or has won
A true and loving wife,
All who can call at least one soul theirs,
Join in our song of praise ;
But any who cannot must creep tearfully
Away from our circle.

All creatures drink of joy
At nature's breast.
Just and unjust
Alike taste of her gift ;
She gave us kisses and the fruit of the vine,
A tried friend to the end.
Even the worm can fell contentment,
And the cherub stands before God !

Gladly, like the heavenly bodies
Which He set on their courses
Through the splendour of the firmament ;
Thus, brothers, you should run your race,
As a hero going to conquest.

You millions, I embrace you.
This kiss is for all the world !
Brothers, above the starry canopy
There must dwell a loving Father.
Do you fall in worship, you millions ?
World, do you know your Creator ?
Seek Him in the heavens !
Above the stars must He dwell.
