Yu Tone CD

Chinese 'Five Tones' Healing Music is based on the 'Five Element' Theory in traditional Chinese medicine. This music is composed to regulate the circulation of 'Chi' in the human body, improve the functions of internal organs, strengthen psychological condition, and stimulate emotional reaction in order to prevent and cure illnesses. Different kinds of music are prescribed for different illnesses on theoretical grounds. The acoustic effects of these five kinds of music in their five different tones moderate the movement of Chi in the body in response to the release of Wood Chi, the rise of Fire Chi, the stability of Earth Chi, the induction of Metal Chi and the descent of Water Chi. The viscera they act on are the liver, heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys. Their actions on the viscera and the Chi mechanism result in improved psychological condition and activated emotional function. These in turn will regulate the functions of the viscera themselves. This is where the theory of Healing Music with Five Tones lies. On this basis, specific therapeutic music is prescribed to particular pathological condition. Yu Tone relates to Water Qi, whose characteristic is most fully displayed in the guqin and guzheng. It helps the Qi to descend inside our bodies. Composer: SHI Feng. Conductor: JU Yih.
