It is also believed to be one o the most aesthetically leasing roortions and is sought ater and desired in art, architecture, and in this and e other cases, music. In my research, I came across a book called he Golden Ratio by Mario Livio. In one o the chaters he shos the resence o the golden ratio in the sacial distribution o leaves on lants and in the sirals od in the head o a sloer. he chater s title is s the loer urns on Her God, a line rom a homas Moore oem. he ibonacci sequence as discoverd by Leonardo o isa (ibonacci) in the early 1th century in his book Liber baci. He osed a question using the reroduction rate o rabbits as his examle, and discovered a sequence o numbers here, starting ith 1, one adds the current number to the revious number to get the next number. o 1+0=1, 1+1=, +1=, +=5, and so on. he sequence looks like this: 1, 1,,, 5, 8, 1, 1,, 55, 89, 1... Dividing a number in the ibonacci sequence by its redecessor gives us a close aroximation to hi. s you erorm this ction higher and higher in the sequence, the anser is alternately higher and loer than hi; aroaching it, but never reaching it. I assigned each number in the ibonacci sequence (u to ) to a chord based o o its corresonding scale degree. he 8th scale degree returns to tonic, so 1=i, =II, =iii, 5=v, 8=i, 1=vi, 1=vii, and =vi. hese chords ormed the rogression o the iece; starting ith one chord in the irst hrase, and then adding an additional chord o the sequence to it in each successive hrase: i, iii, iiiiii, iiiiiiiiiii, iiiiiiiviiiiiii, etc. s the iece began to take orm, I took liberties in the major or mir tonality o each chord, decidedly crossing the line rom science into art. Having made this decision, I still needed a text. art o the intrigue behind hi is that the decimal aroximation goes on orever ithout reeating, so the choir sings this number in Greek (usage o hi can be traced back to Euclid and ythagorus in ancient Greece) to 7 decimal laces (the irst ena and stigme (1.) don t cot). y the end, the rhythmic alto edal oint has extended that to 8 decmial laces. I also anted to include ibonacci s original question about rabbits, so I gave that text to the sora solo. It is the original Latin text rom his book, Liber baci. hi (decimal aroximation) ibonacci sequence 1, 1,,, 5, 8, 1, 1,, 55, 89, 1,, 77, 10, ecial thanks to thank Mario Livio, nne Groton and Marquis erry or heling me research this iece.
