(And alchemy was not a purely Western concern—there is also Islamic and Chinese alchemy.)
\r\nBut in addition to these practical concerns, many alchemical writers used the metaphors of alchemy as a way to talk about the Spiritual Path under the radar of the Inquisition and other unsympathetic religious authorities. (You were just as likely to be burned at the stake by the Protestants as the Catholics). For example, for these writers, turning lead into gold was a metaphor for turning the Human Heart from Lead into Gold—in other words, the path to Enlightenment. This has come to be known as "Inner Alchemy". One of the first researchers to significantly explore this field was Carl Jung.
\r\nThese "inner alchemists" left behind an enormous body of literature—and images. I have found this literature, and its images, to be marvelous metaphors for my own Life Path, and an empowering source of inspiration for composing music. At this point I\'ve barely started on a body of "Inner Alchemical Music", but time and diligence will take care of that!
\r\nSo, in my blog you\'ll find Inner Alchemical images with discussions, and the music I\'ve composed to go with them.
\r\nWilliam is a premier composer of today—his music is played on six continents. He has numerous published and commissioned works to his credit, produced numerous CDs, performed around the world, and can be heard performing in concert as well as film & TV.
\r\nHere\'s what his fans have to say:
\r\n"... What can I say? William’s music just takes me to a place of such peace and contentment. I find myself not only mentally in another place, but I physically relax—the stress and pressures of the day simply drop away."
\r\n"... gives you a transcending feeling..."
\r\n"... soothing, uplifting and deeply moving..."
\r\n"... a comfort to my soul..."
\r\n"... a delicate, magical realm of music..."

The Passionate Quest (for glass armonica and chamber orchestra) is based on the earliest complete surviving\r\n Grail story, written by Eschenbach around 1100\r\n AD—himself an impoverished itinerant knight. In\r\n this account of the Grail legend, Percival, the hero, begins as\r\n a naive young man who wants to be a knight; he passes through various\r\n mythic trials and tribulations, and ultimately is crowned the new Grail\r\n King.
\r\nEschenbach wisely never identifies the nature of the Grail (equating\r\n the Grail to the cup of Jesus\' Last Supper was centuries later).\r\n That leaves it up to us—what is the Grail for you?\r\n\r\n What are you seeking?

Back in September of 2007, I had downloaded a few tracks from your web site that were part of your beautiful and haunting suite \"Music of the Spheres.\" I planned to use them as incidental music in a non-commercial podcast, where my friends and I have created little radio plays of some short stories I wrote. I did eventually use them in parts of the podcast play, and they worked beautifully. In fact, I just posted the episodes for people to listen to for free on my web site and at iTunes. The podcast is called \"The Theater of the Midnight Sun\" (www.theaterofthemidnightsun.com) and as I mentioned, it\'s free to the public.\r\n\r\nAt the time when I downloaded the tracks, I thought there was a cc icon at the bottom of the download page, but just the other day when I tried to return to that particular page to write you and let you know that the music was being used in the episodes, the web page now seems to be missing. I understand you have a policy of letting people download the mp3s and asking them to donate money if they like the music – actually I\'d like to buy one of the \"Music of the Spheres\" CDs (because I adore the music) – but now I\'m a little concerned and just wanted to make sure that it\'s ok for our little non-commercial theater group to use these music tracks in one of the stories. \r\n\r\n\"The Theater of the Midnight Sun\" podcasts are like the little radio plays of old, and so in the podcasts’ closing credits, I back-announce your tunes, letting listeners know who you are and that you were playing the glass armonica. And if I remember correctly, I also announced your web site address so they could go there and purchase your CDs if they like. On the Music page of \"The Theater of the Midnight Sun\" web site, I also list your name and the particular music tracks used, as well as your URL. I currently have the URL listed as www.glassarmonica.com/index.php. If you would rather I post a different address, please let me know.\r\n\r\nThe particular story on the web site that the pieces are used in is called \"Uniform,\" which consists of 3 episodes in its entirety and your music tracks are used in Episode 2 and, most especially, Episode 3. Strangely enough, the story is a sci-fi thriller set in modern-day Istanbul, but the music of Franklin\'s ancient instrument works beautifully in the story, and my friends love it.\r\n\r\nIn fact, when I first stumbled on your web site, I thought it was a godsend that you were kind enough to make such music available to the public (and do so on the honor system). I’m a huge fan of Ben Franklin myself, and sometime in the future I plan to write some short stories about his intrigues in Paris during the Revolutionary War, which hopefully my friends and I will also produce as little podcast plays, again free to the public. \r\n\r\nSo, I just wanted to make sure all of this was okay, and to thank you for making such stunningly beautiful pieces available to the public. Also -- and I haven’t done this with any of the other performers’ music we’ve used in the podcasts -- but if you would like me to, I can always place an icon for the \"Music of the Spheres\" CD at the bottom of the music page that people can click to take them to a particular site of your choosing so they can purchase the CD, or other CDs of yours. (Or at least I hope I can figure out how to do that – all this web site design stuff is very new to me – I still have so much to learn :)\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you, sir. I wish you all the best in your musical endeavors, and appreciate you keeping the divine tones of the glass armonica alive and well for the audiences of this century.\r\n\r\nMichael McGee'),(16,1,'',2,0,'','2009-04-02 21:56:51','',0,'','','','Charlotte Perry','858-454-7798','CPerry7798@aol.com','Dear William, \r\n I am confirming that May 9th is quickly approaching and we are beginning to firm up the details for our 60th Anniversary Celebration for the La Jolla Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution.

He also expresses concern that the playing of the instrument will die out as it is not a mainstream instrument and it\'s very existence is not well known to the general public.\r\nWe live in the Chattanooga, TN. area. Is there someone,anyone competent to help him w/ this instrument w/n a reasonable distance?\r\nIs it possible to even obtain the instrument and at what price(it took me 3 years to pay for the double french horn)?

There in the group of other artists, was your “Music of the Spheres†album, which I\'d never heard till just now. I have given it a good listen, and have concluded that I really like your music, and so firstly, I wanted to say thank you for making it!\r\nThank You for such beautiful music!\r\n\r\nThis morning, my wife and I found your web pages and spent the morning pilfering through them.\r\nThe Arominica is amazing, we Love the sound.\r\nAlso appreciate the connections to the Philosopher\'s stone...\r\n\r\nWe downloaded all the .mp3\'s you had available, and I plan to give all your work a good listen before sending more feedback. (couple weeks)\r\nI will definitely share your music with others, and someday, I plan to send you a $100 bucks as I already have your other albums and would otherwise like to donate if I were in a position to.\r\nThese are hard times for us here in Tecumseh, Oklahoma.\r\n\r\nI myself am a bit of a musician, my major influences being Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Enya, Ray Lynch, and John Williams. I was pleased at how soothing your music is. I haven\'t heard any new soothing Music that I liked so well, since I discovered Ray Lynch years ago now. \r\n\r\nHere is a link to my music pages if you are interested, where you can listen and download all my music as well.\r\nSo far, of my music, my Inside Mye album is my personal favorite.\r\nhttp://david.theweeks.org/music/music.html\r\n\r\nWhile I\'ve sold a few albums in a few stores locally, I\'ve had my donate button up for years now, and never received a dime, and wondered if the method is working for you, with so much more quality music online?\r\nDo you mind my asking if you are making a living with your music? I am certainly not.\r\n\r\nI have found some of my music is being downloaded and shared, something which encourages me, as people will only share something they themselves enjoyed.\r\nBut an occasional email now and then thanking me for my music still means volumes to me and keeps me going.\r\n\r\nI play piano (keyboards) mainly, some guitar and vocals. I am currently working on a trilogy, the third set of my dreamy music. Album titles, “Insideâ€, “Myeâ€, and “Soulâ€. I write music for myself mainly. I surround myself with my relaxing sounds and other creations.

He has numerous published and commissioned works to his credit, produced seven CDs,\r\nperformed around the world, and can be heard performing in concert as well as film & TV.
\r\nIn\r\n1995 William stumbled across a recording by Bruno Hoffmann of the music\r\nby Mozart for the glass armonica. "This is really beautiful—I\'m going\r\nto do this!" Master glassblower Gerhard Finkenbeiner of Waltham, WA\r\n(alas, no longer with us) blew a set of glasses for William, and the\r\nrest of the instrument was fabricated in Seattle where William lived at\r\nthe time. Then—unable to find a teacher—William taught himself how to\r\nplay it.
\r\nWilliam is currently collaborating with Cal-Glass for Research\r\nto manufacture glass armonicas. William paid his own tuition and living\r\nexpenses through the California Institute of the Arts (supplemented by\r\na California State Scholarship awarded for academic achievement)\r\nbuilding harpsichords and restoring pianos, so he is comfortable in a\r\nshop setting. He blew glass for 2 years to understand the medium (as\r\nWilliam says: "I don\'t need to blow the glasses myself, but I must have\r\nsome idea what I\'m talking about when I\'m talking to a real\r\nglassblower). He also holds a Lifetime Teaching Credential in\r\ncollege-level Mathematics and has taught statistics and calculus, so,\r\nas William says, "I can speak \'engineering\' and access the scientific\r\nliterature on the physics of glass bells". Combined with Cal-Glass\'s\r\ndecades of precision glass fabrication expertise, they expect to have\r\ntheir first glass armonica \'out the door\' in early 2008 (although\r\nR&D is difficult to schedule). See the Modern Marvels segment about\r\n William making glass armonicas, filmed at Cal-Glass (History Channel Series: Modern Marvels—" Ben Franklin Tech" which\r\n premiered May 25, 2006)

\r\n * Christmas concertgoers in Bellevue are in for a rare treat the\r\n next few days.
\r\nCall it an armonic convergence.
By Mike Lindblom
\r\nSeattle Times staff reporter
\r\nAnybody who has ever made a musical tone by rubbing the lip of a wine glass can appreciate the armonica, one of the most ethereal instruments ever created.
\r\n ![\"\"](\"/media/presskit/articles/200112SeattleTimes/wwz.jpg\")
Invented by\r\n Benjamin Franklin in 1761, it enchanted a generation of classical composers\r\n and upper-class music lovers in Europe and America. The armonica\'s tones,\r\n produced by glass bowls of graduated sizes, were reputed to mimic the\r\n angels, mesmerize helpless listeners and awaken the spirits of the departed.
\r\nA few decades later, the armonica nearly disappeared because of changing musical tastes and unfounded fears that it caused emotional maladies. But thanks to William Zeitler of Marysville and a few dozen other musicians around the world, it has been resurrected.
\r\nZeitler\'s armonica is 44 glass bowls aligned on a slowly spinning rod, like a rotisserie. Each bowl yields one tone, reaching from middle C to higher notes. Larger bowls produce lower pitches. Some bowls are gold-rimmed, identifying them as the equivalents of the black keys of a piano.
\r\nTo play them, he wets the bowls, and lays his fingers on the desired notes\r\n -- always rubbing below the first knuckle, because fingertips are too\r\n soft to produce the ideal friction. To locate the prime combination of\r\n rotational speed and finger pressure is a painstaking art.
\r\nYet Zeitler seemed effortless as he played the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy," "Jingle Bells," and "Stairway to Heaven" at a Belltown glass-blowing studio this week.
\r\nThe notes sound softer than a bell, airier than a piano. Slight variations\r\n in friction cause endearing blemishes, like the voice of a nervous young\r\n soprano. The armonica fills a room but easily can be overpowered by deeper\r\n or louder instruments.
\r\n"It\'s just a stupendous piece of imagination," Zeitler said. "A beautiful think like this shouldn\'t be on the endangered-musical-instrument list."
\r\nZeitler has recorded four compact discs of original music: "The Passionate\r\n Quest: A Romance of the Grail," "The Midwinter Phantasy," "Elegy for Atlantis"\r\n and "Songs from Earth." Armonicas are featured in New Age recordings for\r\n meditation or massage therapy. Zeitler has performed the Adagio in C for\r\n Glass Armonica by Mozart in concert at the University of Washington.
\r\n\r\nHe will play two Christmas concerts at Bellevue\'s "Garden D\'Lights" tomorrow and Sunday.
\r\n![\"\"](\"/media/presskit/articles/200112SeattleTimes/map.jpg\")
Franklin was inspired\r\n to create the armonica after he saw a musician play water-filled goblets.\r\n Franklin sought a similar effect in a device that would not require water\r\n and would be compact enough so he could play chords. He christened it\r\n the "armonica," and Italian word for harmony.
The armonica spread quickly in Europe, where Mozart, Beethoven and others\r\n wrote more than 300 compositions for it.
\r\nBut before long it fell in to disrepute, its celestial sounds blamed for domestic violence, premature births and insanity. The instrument was banned in some German states, and fewer musicians were willing to play it.
\r\nA music instructor warned, "If you have been upset by harmful novels,\r\n false friends or perhaps a deceiving girl, then abstain from playing the\r\n armonica -- it will only upset you even more."
\r\nPsychiatrist Franz Mesmer of Vienna used the armonica to hypnotize his\r\n patients, fueling rumors that the armonica wielded unworldly powers. The\r\n instrument also had the practical disadvantage of being too fragile for\r\n transport on bumpy cobblestone roads.
\r\nIts demise was nearly complete by the mid-19th century, when the armonica and the harpsichord were drowned out by a new era of large concert halls and thousand-piece symphonies, Zeitler says.
\r\nThe armonica\'s modern-day revival began in 1982 when Gerhard Finkenbeiner, a German immigrant in Waltham, Mass., began building armonicas using techniques and equipment from his job as a glass blower for technology companies. His company has produced 150 to 200 instruments to date and ships them around the globe.
\r\nAn armonica sells for $5,000 to $30,000, with those of greater range\r\n or lower tones costing more because larger bowls take longer to build,\r\n said Shaun Conroy, a turner at Finkenbeiner\'s company. The quartz glass\r\n must be heated to around 2,900 degrees Fahrenheit before it can be shaped\r\n into a bowl.
\r\nZeitler, 47, is a classical pianist and computer programmer who taught himself to play the armonica five years ago. His instrument combines Finkenbeiner bowls with a wooden table and other parts by Seattle artisans.
\r\nZeitler is learning to sculpt glass so he can mold his own bowls, as in Franklin\'s\r\n time. Once that skill is mastered, his dream is to open a shop on the\r\n Tulalip Reservation, where he would teach glass-blowing techniques to\r\n others, perpetuating the heritage of the armonica.

\r\nOne of America\'s Founding Fathers invented a musical instrument\r\n that inspired original scores from Mozart, Beethoven and other greats.\r\n That instrument is the glass armonica (named after the Italian word for\r\n harmonic), devised by Benjamin Franklin in 1761. And out of all of his\r\n inventions, Franklin once said it was the one that gave him the "greatest\r\n personal satisfaction." But for more than a century and a half this once-popular\r\n instrument—which employed glass bowls stacked horizontally inside one\r\n another and mounted on a small table—sat in disrepute, nearly lost\r\n to history.
\r\nNow, however, it\'s enjoying a bit of a revival. Thanks to\r\n the hard work of a handful of men and women over the past 20 years, the\r\n glass armonica is being heard at festivals, at elementary-school concerts\r\n and in at least one movie score. And Philadelphia\'s Franklin Institute\r\n will mark the inventor\'s 298th birthday on Saturday by having the instrument\r\n played during their celebration.
\r\nThe revival began with Gerhard Finkenbeiner, a glass blower\r\n who emigrated from Germany and set up shop in Waltham, Mass. Mr. Finkenbeiner\r\n -- who disappeared while piloting his private plane four years ago --\r\n was a master craftsman with a love for music. He built a business producing\r\n quartz glassware sold to pharmaceutical and other labs, but he never forgot\r\n learning about the armonica in Europe. In the early 1980s he dug up and\r\n began experimenting with Franklin\'s specifications, which called for 37\r\n glass bowls of 23 sizes and painted a rainbow of colors to mark different\r\n notes.
\r\nFranklin found he could make beautiful, haunting music using\r\n glass bowls if they had a hole in their center and were stacked inside\r\n one another while mounted on a horizontal rod. He dipped his fingers in\r\n water, spun the bowls using a foot treadle and then played them almost\r\n like a piano. Except that he could sculpt each note by varying the speed\r\n of the bowls and the amount of pressure he applied -- similar to how a\r\n violinist uses a bow.
\r\nThe idea of using glass to make music didn\'t originate with\r\n Franklin. It was already centuries old when he watched music being made\r\n from drinking glasses -- tuned by being filled with varying amounts of\r\n water -- while in England in the late 1750s and early \'60s. But Franklin\r\n wanted to make the process less cumbersome. So with the help of London\r\n glass blower Charles James he figured out how to tune a glass bowl by\r\n varying its thickness.
\r\nFranklin spent much of the American Revolution as a diplomat\r\n in France and often played his instrument for parlor audiences. Soon Europeans\r\n fell in love with it and began building their own. One story has Franklin\r\n curing Polish Princess Izabella Czartoryska of "melancholia" by playing\r\n the armonica for her. She liked it so much he gave her lessons. Marie\r\n Antoinette is said to have studied the instrument. Mozart and his father,\r\n Leopold, heard the armonica in Vienna in the 1770s. Wolfgang "has played\r\n upon it," Leopold wrote his wife. "How I should love to have one." And\r\n in 1791, the younger Mozart composed an Adagio for the armonica solo and\r\n the Adagio and Rondo for the armonica, flute, oboe, viola and cello.
\r\nBy the 1820s and \'30s, however, the armonica was gaining\r\n a reputation for driving musicians out of their minds. Marianne Kirchgessner\r\n eventually went insane after touring Europe playing it. J.C. Muller warned\r\n of its effect on the "temperament" in a 1788 instruction manual. Today\r\n many suspect the armonica\'s leaded glass and paint to be the real culprit,\r\n perhaps even contributing to Beethoven\'s likely lead poisoning.
\r\nToday there\'s no danger of lead poisoning. G. Finkenbeiner\r\n Inc. -- perhaps the only armonica manufacturer in the country -- uses\r\n lead-free quartz glass and sells armonicas for about $5,000 (larger or\r\n custom instruments can cost much more). Dean Shostak tours the country\r\n with his Finkenbeiner, playing in community concerts and even grammar\r\n schools. He lives and often performs in Williamsburg, Va. But whatever\r\n the venue, he powers it just as Franklin did, with a foot treadle. In\r\n a few months he\'ll release "The Glass Armonica" under his Coastline Music\r\n label -- his fifth CD featuring the instrument -- which will include classical\r\n music originally scored for the armonica but never before recorded.
\r\nWilliam Wilde Zeitler of Marysville, Wash., has been playing\r\n the instrument for nine years and will release his seventh armonica CD\r\n this spring, "The Secret Fire," under his Eris Records label. He performs\r\n around the country and will be playing at the Mind Body Spirit Expo in\r\n Santa Rosa, Calif., Feb. 7-8. But he writes his own music and powers his\r\n instrument with a small motor.
\r\nNot that he isn\'t enamored with the armonica\'s history and\r\n inventor: "I just have this vision of, after a hard day of being a Founding\r\n Father, Franklin coming in and unwinding with the armonica, which he invented,\r\n sitting next to the Franklin stove, which he invented, using bifocals,\r\n which he invented." Mr. Zeitler says he used to just play, but the audience\r\n would always stop him and demand, "You really have to tell us about this\r\n thing."

\r\nHe skillfully maneuvered his slippery hands along a series of rotating glasses known as a\r\n glass armonica. The music produced sounds as dainty as fairies would.
\r\nZeitler, 51, is the only full-time glass armonica player in the world, he said. He has researched and found less\r\n than a dozen people who play the rare, expensive instrument.
\r\nSince he first discovered the armonica - an invention of Benjamin Franklin - about 10 years ago,\r\n Zeitler has composed and performed music and tried to spread\r\n armonica awareness. He said the instrument fascinates him.
\r\n"I\'d like to get this off of the endangered musical instrument list," he said.\r\n The 3 1/2-foot-long and 1-foot-wide armonica sits in the parlor of the Riverside house\r\n where Zeitler rents a room. Sun\r\n glints off its 44 glasses, neatly aligned along an electric, rotating spindle.
\r\nThe concentric glasses are tuned and fit partially inside one another, almost like a set of wooden\r\n Russian nesting dolls. Large glasses carry low pitches and small glasses carry high pitches.
\r\nTo play the glass armonica, Zeitler touches the glasses with different parts of his wet fingers,\r\n almost like a bow to a violin, he said. Coats of boat varnish protect the instrument\'s wooden base from dripping water.
\r\n"It\'s the wet-finger-around-the-wineglass idea," he said.
\r\nZeitler said he tries to create peaceful, spiritual music.
\r\n"Forget for a minute that you haven\'t paid the gas bill yet and just chill and go to this special and happy place," Zeitler said.
\r\n![\"\"](\"/info/200608PressEnterprise/image2.jpg\")
The glass armonica has an extensive pedigree, starting with Franklin, who invented it after he attended a concert in which a musician played water-tuned wine glasses, Zeitler said.
He said he had to build most of the instrument himself. He bought the glasses from a Massachusetts maker, who is now dead.
\r\nWhen Zeitler was five, his parents purchased a piano, and he started taking lessons. Though his family moved frequently, Zeitler said his parents couldn\'t keep him away from the piano bench.
\r\nTo help pay tuition at California Institute of the Arts, where he earned his bachelor of fine arts degree, Zeitler built instruments and tuned pianos. He eventually stumbled across a recording of music Mozart had written for the glass armonica.
\r\nZeitler said he thought:" \'This is beautiful. I am going to do this.\'"
\r\nZeitler said one of his early piano teachers, Jack Reynolds, was his largest inspiration. He pursued the glass armonica largely because of a mindset Reynolds gave him, he said.\r\n"He just really taught me that if you\'re a creative person, you\'re going to have to create your own life," Zeitler said.
\r\nZeitler now has five CDs on sale and averages 20 performances a month, with extra work during the winter holidays, he said. Things can get hectic.
\r\n"Being a professional musician is not for wimps," he said.
\r\nOne of his regular venues is Downtown Disney, where listeners often give him business cards and invite him to other events. Zeitler appeared earlier this summer on The History Channel\'s "Modern Marvels." "He is the master of this instrument," said Zeitler\'s manager, Keith Richmond. Richmond has been booking Zeitler\'s performances and marketing his\r\n music for about two years.
\r\nZeitler is on a quest to produce more armonicas.
\r\nHe has been working with Cal-Glass for Research Inc. in Costa Mesa to come up with a glass-manufacturing process. He wants to find other companies to make additional instrument parts.
\r\nZeitler plans to be a general contractor of armonica production and estimated that one instrument would carry at least a five-figure price tag.
\r\nThe musician is also in the middle of writing what he said will be the first book about the glass armonica and musical glasses. He pours through sometimes centuries-old texts to garner information, mostly in foreign languages. Massive French, German and Latin dictionaries sit on his desk and help him decipher his sources.
\r\nOne tattered French text - carefully protected in a cardboard sheath - is from 1803, the year before Napoleon declared himself emperor of France.\r\n"I lurk on the Internet waiting for these things to show up," Zeitler said.
\r\n"You hate to see something disappear," Bradshaw said. "It\'s more than just sound waves (in) the air."
\r\nBen Franklin also fascinates Zeitler. Among other memorabilia, a Franklin bobble-head doll and action figure sit atop Zeitler\'s bookcase. Zeitler said he even made a "pilgrimage" to Philadelphia to see Franklin\'s glass armonica.
\r\nFranklin invented the lightening rod and bifocals, among other things. He came up with the glass armonica on the side, Zeitler said.\r\n"What he thinks of in a couple days, it takes me a whole lifetime to explore," Zeitler said.

William Zeitler makes music on a glass armonica on Tuesday\r\n in the rotunda of the California Capitol. His performance honored\r\n Benjamin Franklin on the 300th anniversary of the statesman\'s birth.\r\n The armonica, which consists of 44 quartz glass bowls spinning on\r\n a motor-driven spindle, was invented by Franklin in 1761.\r\n Zeitler, a classically trained pianist, creates a harmonic sound\r\n from the instrument by touching the rims of the bowls with wet fingers.\r\n He is the only musician known to play the armonica full time.\r\n A composer and historian, Zeitler earned his music degree from\r\n the California Institute of the Arts.

\r\nSolar-Powered\r\n Glass Armonica
\r\nWilliam\r\n Wilde Zeitler
\r\n\r\n
Ben Franklin (1706-1790) was considered\r\n one of the world\'s foremost experts on electricity in his day, and is\r\n known for many inventions. What isn\'t as well known is that Franklin\'s\r\n favorite invention was a musical instrument.
\r\n\r\n
He called it the "glass armonica"\r\n after the Italian word for "harmony." It works on the wet finger\r\n around the wine glass principle. Franklin\'s idea was to nest a set of\r\n wine glasses inside of each other, one for each note, all mounted on a\r\n rotating spindle. Then you could play it with wet fingers, almost like\r\n a piano.
\r\n\r\n
Otherworldly Sound
\r\nThe instrument became very popular\r\n in the late 18th century — even Mozart and Beethoven wrote music\r\n for it. But around 1810, they decided that its otherworldly sound would\r\n wake up the ghosts, so it was banned. It\'s been on the Endangered Musical\r\n Instrument List ever since. For sound and video samples, and much more\r\n history, see my Web site.
\r\n\r\n
I\'ve been a musician since I was\r\n five, I\'m a classically trained pianist, and I have a degree from the\r\n California Institute of the Arts in harpsichord. One day I tripped over\r\n a CD of "music by Mozart for the glass armonica." Having no\r\n idea what a glass armonica was, I took it home, and that was it. I had\r\n to play this! I found that Finkenbeiner Inc. was blowing the glasses again,\r\n and off I went. I know of only a dozen performers in the world. I do about\r\n 75 performances a year, and have three CDs, with number four due out this\r\n summer.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n![\"\"](\"/media/presskit/articles//homepower/solarga.jpg\") \r\nWilliam\r\n Zeitler plays a solar sonata. | \r\n\r\n Not an Energy Hog \r\nFranklin made his spindle\r\n rotate with a foot treadle. The main reason I opted for a motor\r\n instead of a foot treadle is that I can play much better standing\r\n than sitting. The 1/28 horsepower motor that turns the spindle draws\r\n a whopping 16 watts (measured at the wall). But when I play outdoors\r\n at weddings or festivals, I often don\'t have access to an AC outlet. \r\nThe instrument is already set up to use 110 VAC, so the simplest\r\n thing to do was to get an inverter and a deep-cycle battery. The\r\n smallest inverter I could find at the local RV supply was 75 watts.\r\n With the smallest battery available at Costco (90 amp-hours), I\'ve\r\n run continuously for two-to-three days without a recharge (we also\r\n run a cash register with the same battery/inverter setup). \r\nMobile Solar Music \r\nBut I was concerned that\r\n I wouldn\'t have enough juice to make it through longer festivals,\r\n so I got a solar-electric (PV) panel to add to the system. The panel\r\n is a Solarex MSX-30 Lite, rated at 30 watts. It\'s a tough, bendable\r\n panel, which is perfect for taking on the road. At 24.4 by 19.6\r\n by 0.6 inches (62 x 50 x 1.5 cm), it\'s still easy to find space\r\n for it in the truck (along with everything else one needs for a\r\n festival). |
\r\n
The solar panel is only connected\r\n when the battery is under load, so I don\'t have to worry about overcharging\r\n the battery. I hook the solar panel up to the battery in parallel with\r\n the load, with no charge controller. I wired a diode in series with the\r\n solar panel to prevent discharge through the PV when the sun goes behind\r\n a cloud.
\r\n\r\n
I suppose I could get a larger\r\n battery, or find another way to run my instrument. But there\'s just something\r\n right about a solar-powered glass armonica. I think Ben Franklin\r\n would approve!

\'Bonus mp3\' of William playing his own\r\narmonica composition The Contemplation of the Grail (4\')
','NPR Interview (1/19/2006) on "Insight", KXJZ, Sacramento, CAMP3s of ALL of my music are available on my\r\nwebsite without you having to pay FIRST! (click to play, right-click to save).\r\nYou can completely \'try before you buy\'.
\r\nAll MP3s are \'CD quality\' (160 KBps).
\r\nAnd no copy-protection, none of that.\r\nInstead of all the paranoia and lawyers and DRM (copy-protection) that\r\npunishes the honest music consumer more than the \'pirates\' (they have ways around it)—how about the honor system?
\r\nIf you download something, and\r\nit doesn\'t do anything for you, that\'s OK—I don\'t want your money for something\r\nyou\'re not going to use. But if my music does something for you, do a little monetary something for me\r\nand (Or buy the album! <grin!>)

My instrument has a range of C4 (middle C) to G7, which is 3 octaves and a fifth. This is on the large side as armonicas go these days. The range of armonicas varies widely—there really isn\'t a \'standard armonica\' at present—so you\'ll need to consider who will be playing your music and the range of their instrument.
\r\nThe glasses are far enough apart that I can only reach a minor 6th in each hand at best. In the bass end (C5 and below) the glasses are a little farther apart so a perfect 5th is as wide as I can reach reliably. Some instruments have their glasses even farther apart, so again, you\'ll need to consider who will be playing your music and the characteristics of their instrument.
\r\nThat said, multiple glasses (in each hand) are natural to the armonica and sound terrific.
\r\n\'Turning the thumb under\' doesn\'t work on the armonica, so quick scales are especially difficult. Consider using hand-over-hand if you want a scale.
\r\nOnce a glass is singing, it\'s fairly easy to make it sing again, so trills and tremolos (of the piano variety) work well.
\r\nNotes can be sustained as long as the player can stay awake. Sustained high notes (above C6 or so?) can sound eerily like feedback, so be cautious about sustaining high glasses.
\r\nThe higher glasses (C5 and up?) speak fairly quickly (with practice). But the glasses in the bottom octave speak more slowly—quick passage work in the bottom octave or so is a bad idea.
\r\nThe glasses continue to ring after you release them. This effect is most pronounced in the bass end, not very apparent in the high end. (Like the harp, where the high notes die away quickly, but the bass notes ring for a long time). There is no practical way to damp an armonica glass (how do you noiselessly damp a spinning glass?)
\r\nVibrato works well.
\r\nThe armonica definitely has dynamics, but the whole instrument is on the quiet side so its dynamic range is not large.
\r\nAfter a glass is singing, crescendi and decrescendi work well.
\r\nI invariably amplify the armonica at performances—even just a little tasteful amplification makes a huge difference.
\r\nWrite glass armonica music on a grand staff, or if the part is simple enough a single staff is fine.
\r\nThis:![\"\"](\"/media/articles/trebleoctave.gif\" "\\"\\"")
and this: ![\"\"](\"/media/articles/grandoctave.gif\" "\\"\\"")
are great ways to reduce ledger lines.
\'Pizzicato\' of the glasses (flicking them with your fingernail)\r\nworks OK from about C6 up. Below that the result is more like a\r\npitchless thud.
\r\nA \'glissando\' of the glasses just doesn\'t work. (Unlike the lovely effect on the harp.)
\r\nI simply won\'t play the glasses with any sort of mallet. The result is uninteresting (a barely audible pitched thud) and I dare not risk breaking any glasses.
\r\nThe glasses are too close together to bow them with a violin bow.

\r\n\r\nTo celebrate Michael Mirdad\'s new book, You\'re\r\n Not Going Crazy . . . You\'re Just Waking Up!, we\'re offering\r\n\r\nWilliam Zeitler\'s CD about the Grail Quest: "The Passionate Quest, A Romance Of The Grail" (and all of William\'s CDs) for an incredible $9.95.
\r\nOne of William Zeitler\'s specialties is the glass armonica, invented by Benjamin Franklin. It works on the \'wet finger around the wine glass\' idea, and used for healing by Franklin himself, Franz Mesmer, and many others.

The Passionate Quest (for glass armonica and chamber orchestra) is based on the earliest complete surviving\r\n Grail story, written by Eschenbach around 1100\r\n AD—himself an impoverished itinerant knight. In\r\n this account of the Grail legend, Percival, the hero, begins as\r\n a naive young man who wants to be a knight; he passes through various\r\n mythic trials and tribulations, and ultimately is crowned the new Grail\r\n King.
\r\nEschenbach wisely never identifies the nature of the Grail (equating\r\n the Grail to the cup of Jesus\' Last Supper was centuries later).\r\n That leaves it up to us—what is the Grail for you?\r\n\r\n What are you seeking?
