‘Da Vinci’ church contained a secret code after all
LONDON (Reuters / CNN) — A Scottish church which featured in the bestselling novel “The Da Vinci Code” has revealed another mystery hidden in secret code for almost 600 years.
A father and son who became fascinated by symbols carved into the chapel’s arches say they have deciphered a musical score encrypted in them.
Thomas Mitchell, a 75-year-old musician and ex-Royal Air Force code breaker, and his composer and pianist son Stuart, described the piece as “frozen music”.
“The music has been frozen in time by symbolism,” Mitchell said on his Web site, which details the 27-year project to crack the chapel’s code.
“It was only a matter of time before the symbolism began to thaw out and begin to make sense to scientific and musical perception.”

Well, that`s not a surprise: the cathedral of chartres is one of the best examples around.
You can take ANY piece of music and use it to create a building.
Music in the walls. Wow that is what I call awesome.
