Fan Ning leaned on the sofa in the luxurious office in a comfortable posture, looking through the floor-to-ceiling glass and looking at the bustling street scene of the city: "In other words, this old organist who lived at the original address of the Turner Art Museum many years ago is
A clergyman of the Holy Sun Church?”
Neither he nor his father Vincent is a believer in the "Unfallen Fire", the Lord of Witness, but as a native of Tioline, he has a common sense understanding of the Holy Sun Church.
Its inheritance history is extremely long and has been uninterrupted since the 3rd Sturungarian Dynasty. It is still the state religion of the Holy Kingdom of Janus in the Western Continent - in fact, in the Western Continent and the Southern Continent, the three major Orthodox churches
It is still the most influential official organization of knowledgeable people in various countries.
The Holy Sun Church has also spread in the Northern Continent to this day. Its influence has already penetrated into the humanistic marrow of this land, affecting all aspects of people's lives. The roots of all art forms, music, art, and poetry can all be found in church culture, but
Over the past two hundred years, the church has maintained a good tacit understanding with the authorities on issues involving the actual power of the Tioleon Empire, and has also maintained a cooperative relationship with the Special Patrol Office that does not overstep the mark.
This aspect of the Northern Continent is closer to the modern situation in European countries in Fan Ning's previous life - the trend of industrialization has long broken the political system, and the people in power in the authorities belong to the emerging plutocratic class.
The most direct manifestation is that Fan Ning has traveled through time for more than half a year and has made a lot of noise in the mysterious side, but has almost no interaction with the Holy Sun Church.
"Can there be more information?" Fan Ning continued to ask Lu, "Although this is also a valuable clue, it is just a name and a small town church occupation information from more than 40 years ago. It is not clear whether it can be related to the church.
Even if we contact him, we may not be able to find him. Moreover, judging from the timeline, the old organist’s mansion and the Turner Art Museum are not necessarily directly connected. There may be other changes in between.”
"I will arrange for people to continue trying, but I suggest you not to have too much hope." Lu sat straight at his general manager's desk and explained, "Because the Uflansel Railway Branch is not an urban construction company of the authorities.
Department, this city will only leave relatively detailed files with us if it involves transportation routes..."
"The information that can be found is often found at the first opportunity... The reason why the old organist appears in our files is because the area where his mansion was once one of the many alternatives for the railway to pass through, and as the plan
If rejected, this area will never be in the sight of the railway company again..."
"That's it." Fan Ning held his forehead and fell into thinking.
Time flashed to the end of June, and Joan, who was already on summer vacation, began to accompany Xilan to prepare for the upcoming entrance examination.
Fan Ning, who failed to gain any further results from his efforts to search various files, finally decided to pay him a visit on his own.
The Uvranser headquarters of the Church of the Holy Sun is in the Nelenia district, not far from the University of St. Lenia - in fact, both this place name and the university's predecessor more than 140 years ago are closely related to the church.
History is inextricably linked.
Walking along the direction of the Liufennas Garden at the west gate of the school, passing through the lawn and square, and passing through the oak street, Fan Ning looked at the vast blue sky and saw the snow-white outer wall of the Saint Lenia Cathedral, and saw wisps of
The sun reflects dazzlingly on the raised sphere in the middle of the pointed arch.
When he climbed the white stone steps, he had already heard the "Glory Mass" by the early medieval music composer Ma Xiao, which was performed by the organ and choir.
The Cathedral of St. Lenia looks larger than the "Qiming Church" in the secret land of Yiyong. The overall brightness is not strong, but the right beam of light shines through the colored windows painted with the "Unfalling Fire" logo, making it even more radiant.
Holy.
Amid the aroma, Fan Ning walked through the tall columns and arches, sat down near the front and quietly listened to Ma Xiao's "Missa Gloria".
Mass and mass are two different concepts. The former is the ancient Hoffmann transliteration of the concluding sentence of the Holy Communion ceremony, "the ceremony is over and the congregation disperses", while the latter was written for the former and is used for the secret atmosphere of the ceremony.
music.
Its content is divided into two types: "regular" and "exclusive". For example, today's mass on ordinary weekends is the "regular mass". The form of this type of mass is relatively more common, and it contains five movements in a fixed order.
: Sutra of Mercy, Sutra of Glory, Sutra of Creed, Sutra of the Holy One, and Sutra of the Lamb.
The "Mass in F minor" commissioned by Teacher Anton for the Holy Sun Church is a more complex type of "special mass". It has many more variables on the basis of the five fixed movements of the "regular mass".
Partly, it changes from time to time according to certain church festivals, anniversaries or major events.
For example, the overture to the first "Mass in F minor" that Fan Ning performed at the school's supplementary graduation concert is actually the special mass "Entry Sutra" that precedes the fixed mass "Song of Mercy" and serves as a preface.
For another example, between the fixed masses "Gloria" and "Creed", special masses will also add specific prayer recitation, recitation of apostolic letters, "Recital Psalm" or "Sermon Song"; in "Creed"
"Between the Holy Scriptures" and the "Sacred Prayer", "Dedication", "Silent Prayer" and "Preface Prayer" will also be added; between the "Sacred Scripture" and the "Lamb's Book", a consecration prayer ceremony will be added; between the "Lamb's Book"
"After that, we will add the Eucharistic Sutra, "Recitation after Holy Communion", etc...
“Then the Lord of Illumination was passing by;
The storm is strong and the mountains are broken into pieces, but the Lord is not in the storm;
After the wind there is an earthquake, but the Lord is not in the earthquake;
After the earthquake there is a consuming fire, but the Lord is still not in the fire;
Because His deeds are in our eyes mysterious and unfathomable;
Until the subtle wind behind the fire is the beginning of the song and the beginning of the curse;
They carry the wheel of the Throne of Radiance;
Joy, Joy, Throne of Radiance;
Song of joy, song of joy, the highest seat;
Marvel, wonder, one miracle after another;
He is the King of glory, true light and enlightenment."
In the chants of the church choir and the majestic hum of the organ, Fan Ning felt some transcendental fluctuations related to "candles" and wanted to sway with his astral body.
The oscillation of this spirit body is very gentle and is completely under his control. However, Fan Ning did not close his own inspiration. While the "candle" phase resonates to experience the emotion of the music, he also uses the "key" phase to resonate and split it rationally.
And insight...Voice lines, harmony functions, chorus breath, accompaniment techniques, all the factors that make up music are being figured out and studied by him.
After the last Almanac, a man who had sat down next to the bench spoke gently.
"Mr. Fan Ning, do you find it simple and boring to listen to early works of medieval music from more than 400 years ago?"
