1 Hour of Gurdjieff's Music Compilation - arr. for violin & strings

#music #violin #gurdjieff

George Ivanovich Gurdjieff was a philosopher, mystic, spiritual teacher, and composer of Armenian and Greek descent, born in Alexandropol, Russian Empire (now Gyumri, Armenia). Gurdjieff taught that most humans do not possess a unified consciousness and thus live their lives in a state of hypnotic "waking sleep", but that it is possible to awaken to a higher state of consciousness and achieve full human potential. Gurdjieff described a method attempting to do so, calling the discipline "The Work" (connoting "work on oneself") or "the System". According to his principles and instructions, Gurdjieff's method for awakening one's consciousness unites the methods of the fakir, monk and yogi, and thus he referred to it as the "Fourth Way".

Thomas De Hartmann was already an acclaimed composer in Russia when he first met Gurdjieff in 1916 in St. Petersburg. From 1917 to 1929 he was a pupil and confidant of Gurdjieff. During that time, at Gurdjieff's Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man near Paris, De Hartmann transcribed and co-wrote much of the music that Gurdjieff collected and used for his movements exercises and music therapy.

One of my top 5 favorite quotes of all time is by Gurdjieff and I quote him often, because I have come to the same conclusion. Beautiful music by the way.

“Try to understand what I am saying: everything is dependent on everything else, everything is connected, nothing is separate. Therefore everything is going in the only way it can go. If people were different everything would be different. They are what they are, so everything is as it is.”

- G. I. Gurdjieff

When I used to teach yoga in London in the 80s i met a strange dude who understood Armenian, Russian etc' and he was able to decompose the compound words Gurdjieff used, which had origins in multiple languages. He asked me to go to New York on a flight he would pay for to bring back some samples of frozen yoghurt powder. I never considered that it was probably cocaine or heroin. Luckily I didn't go.

I knew that Gurdjieff was a philosopher but I was unaware that he's also a composer. His music is outstanding! Thanks for sharing this video!

नमस्कार 👌💐😊😢श्रीमान gurdieff जी। जय श्रीमन नारायण। ॐ नमः शिवाय। 🎉

This music's soul is similar to that of the Chinese music of ancient times. (If there were a vibrato to the notes) A meditative contemplation with the Divine, a conversation from the soul. All art comes from suffering. All suffering comes when we are called to the path of awakening. Its realisation that we are part of the whole. And not isolated.
Thank you. 🙏🏼🌸

Outstanding.
When you listen his violin, it makes you feel you are one with life. You are everything.
You feel like you are flying over mountains, hills, plains and waters.
You feel free.❤
