The priest who delivered the music score was stunned when he saw the other party's reaction.
"Quickly, invite the three masters Svelinck, Schillings, and Dominic to come over, and also invite the music director of the San Pelto Philharmonic Orchestra, Master Galinitz!"
"Okay, okay." The priest bowed and walked out quickly.
The Pope leaned back in his seat and took several deep breaths before continuing to read.
His expression is like that of a diver who has just emerged after holding his breath to the limit.
He just felt as if his entire spirituality was almost ignited by the five-part chorus at the beginning of the Sutra of Compassion - not the passion or blood as he usually imagined, but a "fire of grief" that cleansed the divinity!
Although the Pope has now realized that this is just an introduction, and judging from the speed and expression, it should be classified as "Adagio", the opening chapter is simply a prayer and cry that directly penetrates the soul. He was sure to see the image of the Lord at that moment.
, saw Him falling and extinguishing in the midst of countless sufferings, fulfilling His covenant to atone for the sins of believers, and the strong light directly illuminated the dark abyss of torture and suffering!
One after another, several figures sat on the sofas and wicker chairs in the office.
Everyone took turns to read the five-part score of "Mass in B minor".
"The fugue theme at the beginning can be said to have been refined over time, and it is all allusive." Master Svelink, who took over the "Sutra of Mercy" from the Pope, was also surprised at the beginning. This 80-year-old man is not in the church even though he is not in the church.
The old man who served as a de facto bishop but also enjoyed all the honors was simply analyzing note by note.
"Look at the fugue theme after the chorus introduction. The first part is 4 identical repeated xi tones, which corresponds to the 'chant' in the Eucharist; the second part is 8 tones, 4 tones 2 forming a circuitous
The wedge-shaped progression is a 'prayer'; the six notes in the third part have sharp and flat notes, sliding down, and a semitone progression, which is a mournful 'sigh'; in the fourth part, the melody suddenly appears upward in a minor sixth.
The big jump, from la to sol, is a 'wonder' of the glory of the Lord!"
"Such a melody that has been tempered for thousands of years uses fugue techniques to interweave and imitate each part. However, the composer still exercised restraint at this time. He first presented it with a purely instrumental piece, and then transitioned to a vocal fugue, which finally formed
A grand structure with five interspersed sections, you can imagine what a spiritually shocking effect this will have on the audience!" Swielink sighed at the end.
While listening to his analysis and comparing it with his own intuitive feelings, King James XIX felt more and more happy and moved.
The opening chapter is simply a miracle! A profound miracle!
He is a highly inspired appreciator, but he is not a professional composer. At this time, he called these masters here because he wanted to let them help unearth all the mystery and divinity contained in it as soon as possible while he was studying!
"Is it a regular mass structure?" Master Galinitz, director of the San Porto Philharmonic Orchestra, looked at others while turning the page.
"Yes, it's a regular mass, with the original five-part ritual structure, no additions." Opera master Dominic nodded.
"But it's actually very unusual. Such a magnificent length and so many subdivided structures." Master Xilins flipped through the catalog in everyone's hands one after another. "The Sutra of Compassion has three parts, and the Sutra of Glory has nine parts."
, the nine parts of the "Creed", the four parts of the "Sacred Scripture", and the two parts of the "Lamb's Book". I very much agree with Master Swearinck's evaluation of "all scriptures". For example, the "Book of Glory" in my hand
", it almost completely reproduces the '17 Sacraments' in which the ancient monks in the third history prayed for the power of the 'Unfallen Fire'——"
"The 'Original Sentences of the Gospel' in Articles 1-2 are the first two parts of the music; the 'Five Cheers' in Articles 3-7 respectively correspond to 'Praise, Praise, Worship, Exalt' and "Praise" in the third part.
The fourth part corresponds to 'Blessings'; the 'Call to the Father and the Son' in Articles 8-10 is the core of our church's secret doctrine of 'Trinity' and corresponds to the fifth part of the music; the 'Three Requests' in Articles 11-13
Corresponds to the words "please have mercy, please listen" in the sixth part and "please forgive" in the seventh part; the "three declarations" in Articles 14-16 correspond to the "Only the Lord is Holy" in the eighth part.
Only the Lord is a miracle, only the Lord is supreme'; No. 17 is the 'Holy Trinity' of the ninth part, which ends with the praise tone of 'bathed in the light'."
"This is just the "Gloria Sutra" I'm looking at!" Schillings took a deep breath. "This Mr. Lavoisier treats each text as a work with independent movements, five texts.
There are twenty-seven movements in total, and the performance should last more than two and a half hours. The tonal layout, theme design, paragraph structure, and even the notes of each smallest unit are all well-founded, full of theological metaphors, and profound repetitions.
It has captured every part of the ancient monks’ tribute to the ‘Unfallen Fire’!”
"If we want to take on such a grand and deep sacred atmosphere, we have to consider more pragmatic issues in terms of instrumentation and positioning of musicians."
The leader of the world's No. 1 orchestra glanced at the music sheet: "The human voice is a five-part chorus, and the orchestration is, in addition to string instruments, only 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 3 trumpets, 1
Bass drum, and a harpsichord providing continuo"
"The Holy Scriptures, the Holy Scriptures I have here are a six-part chorus, with the addition of a second alto and a third oboe." Dominic added.
"Well, this is an exception. When the altar of the metaphorical headquarters' Glow Wheel' is in operation, six blazing sun wings will appear under the cry of 'Holy'."
"In short, this orchestration is absolutely pure medieval legacy, concise, simple and solemn, with no hint of symphony at all."
"The sympathetic and grand sound of the medieval style does not necessarily need to use the orchestration of a modern symphony."
The words spoken by these four people are enough to shock the "New Moon" of the Janus music scene. At this moment, you and I are discussing each other non-stop.
"I heard that the Special Inspection Office believes that Lavoisier's identity as a survivor of the Southern Continent needs further review. Not only in the 'exorcism test', there will be two of them, the inspector generals of the first level, involved in the test, trying to use it.
Taking this opportunity to fight with Lavoisier, they even contacted Mr. Wax to come to the Baptismal Festival?" Svelink's tone sounded a bit strange.
"It's true." Hearing this, King James XIX put the tea cup on the desk a little harder: "It's useless to arrange whatever they want. This is the headquarters of my church, not Theoline, the Saint.
Keep an eye on everything and enter the realm of my church. Even if Pogorelic comes, you will have to avoid the sharp edge for a while."
Are you kidding? It is a heinous sin for someone who can write such a "Mass in B Minor" to question his piety and enthusiasm!!
The Special Inspection Office felt suspicious and felt the need to interrogate him, which was obviously self-righteous, ignorant and had ulterior motives.
This person is protected by the Holy Sun Church.
"I would like to ask all the masters to make an estimate. If this "Mass in B minor" is premiered under the blessing of the altar of the 'Glow Wheel', how much enlightening effect can it achieve on the Baptismal Festival?"
"Artistic evaluation is subjective, and it is difficult to make a final conclusion when comparing the level with the original repertoire; but if we look at the enlightenment effect alone, it is higher than Kashunich's Passion music." Svelink gave his judgment,
The other masters also nodded in approval.
It’s not that the master’s works are not high-achieving, but the nature of the premiere is too special and the bonus is too prominent. This is a ceremony that leaves its mark for the first time in the long history and in the world’s recognition.
"This time, Director Galinitz needs to work harder," the Pope said.
He conveyed an obvious meaning: Change the repertoire originally rehearsed for the main ceremony!
