musicians of old

Chapter 465 Interim Decision
"His Majesty the Pope?"

The priest who delivered the music score was stunned seeing the other party's reaction.

"Quickly, invite Swellink, Schillings, and Dominique to the nearest three masters, and also invite the music director of the San Porto Philharmonic Orchestra, Master Galinitz!"

"Okay, okay." The priest saluted and walked out quickly.

The Pope leaned back in his seat and took several deep breaths before continuing to read.

The expression is like that of a diver who has just emerged after holding his breath to the limit.

He just felt that the whole spirituality seemed to be almost ignited by the pentatonic chorus at the beginning of the "Mercy Sutra" - not the passion or blood as usual imagined, but a kind of "sorrowful fire" that cleanses the divinity!
Although the Pope has now realized that this is just an introduction, and judging from the speed and expression, it should belong to "Adagio", but the opening chapter is simply a prayer and cry that hits the soul. He was sure that he saw the image of the Lord at that moment , Seeing him falling and extinguishing in thousands of pains, fulfilling his covenant of atonement for believers, the strong light directly illuminates the dark abyss of suffering!
One after another, several figures sat on the sofa and rattan chair in the office.

Everyone looked at the five-part score of "Miss in B Minor" in rotation.

"The theme of this fugue at the beginning can be said to have been tempered and tested, and there are no references." Master Swellink, who took over the "Mercy Sutra" from the Pope, was also surprised at the beginning. This 80-year-old man, although not in the church The old man who is a full-time bishop but also enjoys the honor is simply analyzing note by note at this time.

".Everyone, look at the theme of the fugue after the chorus introduction. The first part consists of 4 identical repeating xi sounds, which correspond to the 'chanting' in the Eucharist; the second part consists of 8 tones, 4 tones and 2 groups. The circuitous cuneiform advance, this is "pray"; the 6 notes of the third part have sharps and flats, descending and falling, and the semitone progresses, which is a mournful "sigh"; the fourth part, the melody suddenly appears a minor sixth Big jump up, straight from l-la to sol, it's a 'wow' of the glory of the Lord!"

"Such a melody that has been tempered for thousands of years uses fugue to interweave and imitate the various voices, but the composer still restrained at this time, first presenting it with a piece of pure instrumental music, and then transitioning to the vocal fugue, finally forming a A grand structure with five interludes, one can imagine how it will shock the audience!" Swellinck sighed repeatedly at the end.

While listening to his analysis and comparing it with his own intuitive feelings, Yaning's nineteenth generation felt more and more joyful and moved.

The beginning is simply a miracle!A deep wonder!

He is a connoisseur of high inspiration, but he is not a professional composer himself. At this time, he called these masters here, just to let them help to dig out all the mysteries and divinity contained in it as soon as possible while studying himself!
"Is it a regular mass structure?" Master Galinitz, director of the San Porto Philharmonic Orchestra, turned and looked at others.

"Yes, it's a regular mass, with the original five-stage ritual structure without any additions." Opera master Dominique nodded.

"But actually...it's very unconventional. Such a magnificent length, so many subdivided structures." Master Xilinsi flipped through the catalogs in everyone's hands one after another, "There are three parts in the "Compassion Sutra", and nine parts in the "Glory Sutra". part, nine parts of the "Creed", four parts of the "Sacred Scripture", and two parts of the "Lamb Sutra". The Glory Sutra almost completely reproduces the '3 sacraments' of the ancient monks in the third history who prayed for the divine power of the 'Unfalling Fire'—"

“第1-2条‘福音原句’，是音乐的第一二分曲；第3-7条的‘五个欢呼’，分别在第三分曲对应‘赞美、称颂、朝拜、显扬’和第四分曲对应‘祝谢’；第8-10条的‘呼父呼子’是我教会‘三位一体’秘密教义的核心，对应音乐第五分曲；第11-13条的‘三项请求’对应了第六分曲的‘求垂怜、求俯听’和第七分曲的‘求赦免’；第14-16条的‘三个宣示’对应了第八分曲的‘唯主神圣、唯主奇迹、唯主至高’；第17条则是第九分曲的‘圣三颂’，以‘沐于光明’的赞美语调作结”

"This is just the "Glory Book" I'm reading!" Schillings took a deep breath, "This Mr. Lavoisier treats each scripture as a work of independent movement, five scriptures There are 27 movements in total, and the playing time should exceed 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 profoundly reproduce the ancient Every link of the monks to pay tribute to the 'unfallable fire'!"

"If you want to take on such a magnificent and strong sacred atmosphere, you need to consider more practical issues in terms of orchestration and musician position settings." Director Galinitz.

The person in charge of the world's number one orchestra glanced at the staff: "The human voice is a pentatonic chorus, orchestrated, except for the stringed instruments, there are only 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 3 trumpets, and 1 trumpet. Bass drum, and a harpsichord providing continuo.”

""Sacred Sutra", my "Sacred Sutra" here is a six-part chorus, with a second contralto and a third oboe." Dominique added.

"Well, this is an exception. When the altar of the 'Great Wheel of Light' in the metaphorical headquarters is running, six wings of the scorching sun will appear under the call of 'Holy One'."

"In short, this orchestration is definitely an extremely pure medieval legacy, simple, simple, and solemn, without any trace of a symphony."

"The compassionate and grand sound of the medieval style does not necessarily require the orchestration of a modern symphony."

These four "new moons" who opened their mouths are enough to shake the music scene of Janus. At this moment, you talk and discuss non-stop.

"I heard that the Special Inspection Office believes that Lavoisier's identity as a survivor of the southern continent needs to be further examined. Not only in the 'exorcism test', the two inspectors of the first level of proficiency will participate in the testers, trying to borrow This opportunity to play against Lavoisier, and they even contacted 'Mr. Wax' to come to the scene of the baptism?" Swellink's tone sounded a bit weird.

"It's true." Hearing this, the Nineteenth King of Yaning placed the teacup on the desk a little harder: "It's useless if they arrange it at will. This is the headquarters of my church, not Tiolein, the Holy One." Watching everything, entering the area of ​​my church, even if Poglerich comes over, he has to avoid the edge."

joke?It would be a heinous sin to question the piety and zeal of a man who could have written such a Mass in B Minor! !
The Special Inspection Office felt suspicious and felt the need to interrogate, obviously self-righteous, ignorant, and with ulterior motives.

This person, he, the Church of the Holy Sun, has been secured.

"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 'Glowing Wheel', how much enlightenment effect can it achieve on the Baptism Festival?"

"Art evaluation is subjective, and it is difficult to make a judgment on the level of the original repertoire; but if we only talk about the effect of enlightenment, it is higher than that of Kashunich's Passion." Swellink gave a judgment, The other masters also nodded in approval.

It's not that the master's works are not highly accomplished, but that the nature of the premiere is too special and the bonuses are too prominent. This is a ceremony that left its mark in the long history and the world's cognition for the first time.

"This time, Director Galinitz needs to work hard," the Pope said.

He conveyed the obvious meaning: change the repertoire that was originally rehearsed for the main link ceremony this time!
