"The concealed music in the painting comes out from a symbolic bond, between the bread and the hands of the apostles. It is a strong bond, because the bread hints at the body of Christ, the hands are the instrument of eucharistic consecration. Moreover also in the Roman Canon when the priest pronounces these words: 'He took the bread in his hands, holy and venerable hands,' these have a fundamental significance, there should have been something else uniting this whole, and this whole was just the bread and the hands alluding to the body of Christ."

"The Last Supper represents the Passion (of Jesus), simply a music to underline its pace had to be a dramatic music, that's why this music sounds like a requiem.''

"Concerning all this kind of attention on Leonardo, maybe people like me working in bookshops look down a little bit on all of this, because when there is too much attention on a topic it always makes you think of something partially done for commercial purposes."

MUSICAL LAST SUPPER
An Italian musician and computer technician claims to have uncovered musical notes encoded in Leonardo Da Vinci's painting The Last Supper, raising the possibility that the Renaissance genius might have left behind a musical composition to accompany the scene depicted in the 15th-century wall painting.
"It sounds like a requiem," said Giovanni Maria Pala. " It's like a soundtrack that emphasises the Passion (of Jesus)."
Painted from 1494 to 1498 in Milan's Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, the "Last Supper" captures a key moment in the Gospel narration of Jesus' last meal with the 12 Apostles before his arrest and crucifixion, vividly depicting the shock of Christ's followers as they learn that one of them is about to betray him.
Pala, a 45-year-old musician who lives near the southern Italian city of Lecce, began studying Leonardo's painting in 2003, after hearing on a news program that researchers believed the artist and inventor had hidden a musical composition in the work.
In a book released on Friday in Italy, Pala explained how he interpreted elements of the painting that have symbolic value in Christian theology as musical clues.
Pala first saw that by drawing the five lines of a musical staff across the painting, the loaves of bread on the table as well as the hands of Jesus and the Apostles could each represent a musical note.
