[The Relation between Color and Music]
When researching about a music in a era before a score is created and no musical
record is remaining, it is quite useful to look at pictures of musical instruments and
musicians on wall paints and pictures. This special field of study is called iconography
of music. Like the apparence of a musician on a Greek jar, singing angels on a church
wall-paint, and from many other pieces of art work, it is possible to infer the music of
a specific era. Especially, for the people who studies ancient music, pictures and
sculptures are very important pieces of evidence.
Vernon said that he felt green and yellow color from Wagner's music and bright white
color from Chopin's music. Furthermore, many people felt C major chord as white and
D major chord as yellow. At the end of 19th century, jewish Kastel rebuilt a organ and
created a 'color organ' that have different colored cards on each key of the keyboard
and made it transparent. In 1922, a native Dutchman singer made a sort of a 'color
organ' called 'Clavilux in New York. In 1926, this instrument is used in Philadelpia
Orchastra playing Rimsky Korsakov s 'Seherzade', and is currently in New York
Modern Art Museum. Also, an English composer Vries published 'Color Symphony
which has different colors as subtitles in each movement of the symphony.
