musicians of old

Chapter 501 A Reminder Without Trace

As the dozen or so brightest electric lights were removed, the entire "semi-open-air" bandstand returned to a state of darkness.

When the clergy on the stage announced loudly, the civilians and soldiers huddled together to watch the performance began to squirm and separate.Some people hurried back to their production posts to make up for work that was delayed due to fighting or avoiding air raids during the day, while the other part lined up in a long line in the passageway pulled up by the security tape according to the arrangement of "applying for registration of musical instruments" .

According to the current prices, "3 pence" or "1 pence" is not enough to fill the stomach of an adult who eats for a day, but it can be exchanged for a musical instrument, a set of tutorials, and... It's hard to imagine all the "crowding" opportunities of regular public classes by the best of country musicians and buskers.

And the "an important announcement" made by the clergy three times in a row at the end siphoned everyone's attention.

"Confession?"

"Bishop Lavoisier made the confession himself?"

Based on the different emphases on the purpose of the sacrament, the original Sacrament of Confession was subdivided into many aliases: Sacrament of Repentance, Sacrament of Conversion, Sacrament of Confession, and Sacrament of Reconciliation. It does not mean that those who want to confess must all be responsible. It may be a serious sin that needs to be repented, maybe it is a minor commandment, maybe it is just a blasphemous thought in the heart, or it is doubts and pains in the body and mind, grievances and disputes with relatives and friends, of course, no matter what it is, you can use the words of the priest , Dialogue with the Holy Spirit to relieve depression is a "sacred thing" and "a comforting thing".

Among the priesthood ranks of the entire Church of the Holy Sun, those who are qualified to perform the sacrament of confession are priests at the lowest level.

On weekdays, such an opportunity is already relatively precious, and it can only be arranged once every few months. When encountering a bishop sitting in charge, it is a rare thing that needs to be competed for in several years.

And now, Bishop Lavoisier!

Bishop Lavoisier personally listened to his distress and answered questions!

I am afraid that in the hearts of many people, it is difficult to distinguish between this and the significance of the Pope's visit!It is not necessarily possible to meet once in a lifetime!

"Two days doesn't feel like a short time, but in fact... so many believers and extremely limited opportunities, is this a blessing that ordinary civilians can also receive!?"

Everyone is hanging in the air, even those who lined up to apply for musical instruments are asking each other about their doubts in low voices.

"Mr. Priest, what do you think of Mr. Fanning's "Choral Fantasia in C Minor" that I recommend tonight?" Roy, who had retreated under the church pillar, asked.

"I think Miss Roy has a heart." Fanning made a commendation.

"Of course, I really, really love this piece."

The girl next to her laughed again when she heard it, and turned her face away slightly.

It seemed that there was another suitable time to inquire. Her gaze followed the bishop, looking at the crowds of people in the distance, and her mind started to work secretly again.

A suitable timing for insinuating. At the same time, Fan Ning's thoughts turned a little faster, and he spoke loudly, and said without a trace like chatting:

"I will leave Janus in the next two days after I finish my confession, and head all the way to the south. The Marquis MacAdam is visiting the Holy City this time to conduct a 'modern music seminar' with my church. I can't wait. I'm being rude. Please Miss Roy will convey it on your behalf."

"Ah? Modern music seminar?" Roy smiled suspiciously, "Father, will he come to Janus in a few days?"

"It's a secret to others, but Miss Roy hasn't heard about it?" Fanning glanced at her.

"No one has really told me about the itinerary of this seminar. However, recently our school is indeed encouraging musicians to try to carry out 'technical research in the post-impressionist era', such as atonal music and the like. Yes! I remember it was Aunt Hermosa who made this suggestion in the first place."

After recalling it, Roy suddenly had an impression, and turned to ask the old lady next to him: "Auntie, do you know that Dad will also come to Janus soon?"

"I know." Hermosa nodded, "This is a secret seminar, and only a few school and church leaders, as well as a few academic and church musician representatives attended. Because Lord Marquis did not call you, I You didn’t make any claims, and the change involved personnel. But you are the eldest lady of the school, and since Father Lavoisier mentioned it now, and you know about it, it’s not a serious mistake.”

The understander met the eyes of Fan Ning who was standing at a distance: "Your Excellency the Bishop is a master at writing medieval style and religious genres, unexpectedly he also pays attention to the creation of these avant-garde music."

"It looks good to me." Fan Ning commented in a thoughtful manner, "artistic matters also need to be raised higher. These people are carrying lamps to explore the dark place ahead, paying tribute to the 'candle' His inspiration can be regarded as sacred. Such words as 'twelve-tone sequence', 'expressionist trend of thought', 'limited shift mode', 'mysterious chord system' have been succinctly precipitated and washed , will also leave behind the essence worthy of praise.”

"Your Excellency, Bishop, attaches great importance to tradition and innovation. This kind of concept and character is rare in the world." Hermosa moved the corners of her mouth and drew the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and praised with a smile.

"I'll go up and rest, I wish you well." Fanning stopped chatting, and without looking at Roy again, he walked into the dark church with his hands behind his back.

"Good night, Mr. Father." Roy saluted calmly.

But the words of Father Lavoisier just now aroused the vigilance in her heart!

Mysterious chords! ?
She remembered very clearly what Mr. Fan Ning explained when he used Lianmeng to contact everyone.

——If one day you discover in the music industry that there is a tendency to use "mysterious chords" in any style, genre, work or theory, tell him as soon as possible!Because this matter is related to Mr. F!The "mysterious chord" implanted in the fragments of the sound sequence is also the work of Mr. F!

Now it's okay
It actually appeared on his own school! ?

Moreover, the first suggester was Aunt Hermosa, and the initiator of this secret seminar was my own father! ?

Recalling the details of getting along with her after coming to Janus, she really didn't find anything unusual.

Bishop Lavoisier mentioned this point in his words, and most of them were "what to say", accidentally bumping into his own intention.

But Roy believed that Fanning's judgment would never be wrong!

"Auntie, I'll go say hello to some priests, and then let's go back to rest first." She pointed to the distance.

There, under the gaslight, stood another group of figures who had moved past after the show.

Including Priest Jacob from the Diocese of Tochalan, Priest Durke from the Diocese of Laubuken, and the deputy priest of the Hidgewell Theater Church, as well as several other deacons and acolytes, they discussed the confession in the next two days details of the matter.

"Go ahead. That seminar is of great significance. In the future, it may be normal to organize a second and third seminar. Now that Bishop Lavoisier has informed you, I will discuss with the Marquis whether you need to participate." Hehe Mosa lowered his eyelids.

"it is good!"

Roy's heart tightened, and he responded obediently. He walked towards the priests as if nothing had happened. When he got close, he finally lowered his voice and said:
"Mr. Durke, regarding the confession starting tomorrow, I would like to ask you to ask me something."
