The music of Tuvaykun
The composing style of Tuvaykun is designed and crafted to be spiritual rather than religious music. More precisely it is music for the soul, to sing and bless life and God Almighty.
The harmony, rhythm, melody and sound landscapes of this music are specifically conceived to produce highly energetic, positive and vital resonance frequencies for the whole being – the so-called eufrequencies, or “good frequencies” – in those who listen to, play and sing it.

The lyrics
The work contains 9 songs: songs 1 to 8 present the 8 Beatitudes, the ninth song gathers them all together.
The lyrics of the choruses of the 8 songs correspond to the 8 Beatitudes, translated directly from the original Greek and Aramaic manuscripts.
The chorus of song no. 1 and song no. 6 is sung in Aramaic, the language in which the Beatitudes were proclaimed by the Master.
The verses of the 8 songs are taken from sections of the Bible, in particular from the Book of Psalms, which are closely related to the meaning and topics expressed in the corresponding Beatitude.
The music and artistic composition of Tuvaykun
On one hand, the music composed by Paolo Spoladore is like all music, created as a bridge among human beings to communicate life, feelings, thoughts, ideas, situations, stories. On the other hand, it contains harmonic landscapes, rhythms and melodies able to rebalance the pneumo-psycho-emotional self while listening to and playing it. It is conceived and composed to restore and harmonize one’s energy, creativity, concentration and learning.
Another important feature of Paolo Spoladore’s music is that it is composed with the main purpose of singing, not just listening to it. Hence the choice of particular harmonic landscapes and melodies.
The resonance
Paolo Spoladore’s music is composed and crafted according to the laws of resonance by using eu-frequencies, that is frequencies that bring energy and information of excellence, being of the same structure as the universe. Informative-words and energetic-sounds capable of powerfully resonating with the frequencies of the human heart, spirit and body. Words and sounds capable of effectively replacing the toxic and poisonous vibrations of thoughts, and at the same time providing the human neuronal system with restorative and re-harmonizing frequencies.
The author of the music and book
Paolo Spoladore started writing and playing music in the ‘80s. His production reveals a profound spiritual inspiration, yet not religious, devoted to nourishing the vital breath of one’s soul, heart and intelligence. The lyrics of his songs are often taken from the Holy Scripture, always carefully translated from the original texts: Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek.
The purpose of this music is to let people sing it, not just listen to it. Hence the choice of particular harmonic series and melodies.

TUVAYKUN, LE BEATITUDINI DI GESÙ (The Beatitudes of Jesus) is a Usiogope production
The book
Tuvaykun is an Aramaic word which means ‘blessed are you’. It is made of 8 letters, as the 8 Beatitudes narrated by Jesus in this 300-page volume. What are the Beatitudes? They are eight paths offered to humankind so that it may live on this earth in an intelligent, useful and joyful way.
The text of each Beatitude, translated from Aramaic, is accompanied with an in-depth exegesis to provide a clear explanation of the meanings.
A new, enlightening and surprising insight of 8 Gospel verses Jesus offered to humankind more than 2000 years ago so that it could be inspired to find the true paths to well-being and happiness.
The design of the book
Printed and bound in elegant white fabric, which brings a touch of naturalness, the book has a “made-in-Italy” cover design, embellished by the logo and the characters printed through hot foil stamping. The letter Y is gold, while the other letters are light blue. All details convey a sense of finesse to the eye and the touch.
The logo
The eight letters of the word Tuvaykun are set in a circular pattern, with the letter Y at the center indicating Yeshua, that is Jesus. Eight letters for the eight Beatitudes.
