musicians of old

Chapter 709 "Harmonious Litany"

Fanning, holding the note in his hand, stood in the attic of the Lepichi Church with his brows deeply furrowed.

This is the doubtful point of the first sentence.

The same applies later.

For example, the “snakes everywhere” that has caused Fanning to be in deep doubt and worry these days.

What does "ubiquitous" mean?

Following the logic, if "snakes" are indeed everywhere, then, not to mention in the past, I must have come into contact with "snakes" in the past few days.

It's not just limited to the key No. 1 found on the river beach, but it's something we come into contact with every day, and it's a continuous contact.

What things have you been in constant contact with recently?

Okay, let’s move on.

The God of Weapon Source has actually become the relatively safest existence?

When Fanning first read it that day by the river, he wondered if Vincent was mentally ill.

Before, he was clearly devastated by the pollution from the remains of various artifact gods, and his life was on the verge of death several times!

But now I think about it carefully, looking back, have I already controlled the wreckage of "The Fountain in the Painting" and "The Red Pool"? Have I also controlled the wreckage of "The Old Days"? At least temporarily?

The resurrection of the true knowledge of the "Red Pond" destroyed the South Country, but the source of this matter was not in the "Red Pond".

From the first two worm wars, the patching of the "cracking field", and the promotion of several source gods as tools, this place was destined to have problems. If Poglelich had not disregarded the lives of the people, this problem might have continued to drag on.

By the way, the Special Patrol Office has been making every effort to collect the remains of the Device Source God. Now it seems that this is also true, isn’t it?

——Did Pogorelich choose the "relatively safest" way to realize his ambition of reaching the summit of Huita?

Why does it feel like the logic is reasonable and the choice is correct?

Think about the other gods besides Qiyuan.

For example, those Yiyuan gods who are full of strangeness and fear of the unknown, most of whom have been promoted in a distorted way and whose current state is difficult to describe, and the most dangerous "True Word Viper" who has received the most warnings, are still the world source gods.

"World Source God, Quality Source God"

"Then we come to the most crucial question. If it is really like what Vincent said, 'the Lord of All Witnesses'."

Fanning took another deep breath.

At first, this last sentence almost overturned his mind, but Fanning changed to a quiet environment today and read it carefully. After thinking about it carefully, Vincent did not say that he could not "study" or "touch" it!

What he said was "Don't have unconditional expectations."

Isn’t Vincent himself a “partnership”?

As a "partner involved", he definitely knows some more real and unknown secrets!

"In fact, when I first saw the painted key expression on the skylight of Qiming Church, I also had these speculations. The word 'cooperation' does not necessarily mean unconditional trust, but it may be exploitation or deception!"

"Even if they were once the 'source of flesh and blood', after becoming the impersonal witness, I'm afraid they won't have much goodwill as others would think! When facing them, Vincent is more likely to be walking on the edge of a knife!"

"Anyway, I'm preparing my own version of the Trinity, not the Lord of Witness version. I won't use your template or the remains of the Old Days to go through the door, so let's see what happens."

"There's something wrong with chasing invisible forces. This should be a warning about the risks of hidden knowledge. No matter what Vincent is referring to, I don't think I can reach the top of the mysterious side in the short term. Even if I am promoted to the Order Executor, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete head-on with Poglelich or Mr. F."

After repeated consideration and thinking, Fanning's mental state gradually became calmer.

Since Vincent still emphasized that "style" is important, that's right.

No matter what conspiracies there are, the art side’s plan to reach the top is determined to succeed.

The Fifth Symphony must end with a triumphant victory.

There seemed to be a flicker of fire in Fanning's eyes.

"After all the calculations, there are not many days left until the end of the Harvest Arts Festival. You made up your mind before. The first time you wanted to settle accounts with a 'Forging Lion', and the second time you wanted to settle accounts with a 'New Moon', right? Next, I want to see if you can settle accounts with the 'Torchbearer'."

On November 916, 11 in the new calendar, it was one week after the famous "Waterside Sermon" incident.

Fanning, as Lavoisier, finally arrives in Saint-Pierre and begins to perform The Art of Fugue and the final part of Twenty Infants.

The situation at the church headquarters today is actually somewhat similar to the premiere of the "Mass in B Minor" on the "Feast of Baptism" that year.

It was the same bitterly cold morning, bringing dawn.

The seats in the square stretched out like a golden grid on the wide steps. There were more than 30,000 seats alone.

The twelve main streets radiating from the square were crowded with witnesses.

When the church arranged this final stop, it was not Lavoisier who was planned to perform first.

Instead, we carefully selected several excellent religious works that were newly created by church musicians during this period, which were inspired by modern techniques such as "limited shift mode" and "irreversible rhythm"!

Symphonic poem "Saint Lavoisier of Apelles Walking on Water"; double piano work "Transfiguration of the Divine Nature of Our Lord"; chamber music "The Apparition of the Son"; vocal cycle "The Secret of Birdsong".

This is a declaration to the outside world that the artists in the seminary have begun to accept these mysteries and have begun to walk the path of religious art in the new era.

Then, Fanning, wearing an old-fashioned dress, slowly walked up to the altar.

After he sat down in front of the piano in the center of the altar, he presented the audience with an introduction with a very special direction.

The left and right hands place their fingers from far away at both ends of the keyboard, one sharp, the other pure, and the chords superimposed by augmented fourths and perfect fourths gradually converge towards the center.

"Huh? Why is the order reversed today?"

The believers in the square were somewhat surprised.

In the past, each sermon started with "The Art of Fugue", but the piece played first today was obviously of modern style, and it should be "Twenty Meditations on the Holy Infants".

Could it be that Master Lavoisier wanted to arrange it the other way around, with the finale of "The Art of Fugue" as the final ending of the whole process?

"Now it should be the 18th song of Twenty Meditations on the Holy Infants. Let me see the name in the catalogue, 'The Gaze of the Awesome Anointing of the Holy Christ.'" Melaltin looked down.

"Well, the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick or the Sacrament of Extremes is one of the seven sacraments I teach. Through the anointing of the sick or seriously ill or injured believers with holy oil, they can receive special comfort and rely on God's mercy to resist the final attacks and temptations of the devil."

The Pope, who was sitting in the middle of the first row of the audience, murmured to himself. He felt the ubiquitous comfort contained in this song "Gaze".

The ending of the piece is the opposite of the introduction. Fanning's notes spread from the center of the keyboard to both ends. The notes in his left hand gradually increase in value, while those in his right hand gradually decrease, showing a broad and majestic crescendo, pushing the music into a deep and loving state.

"The anointing with oil consecrates a person to the Lord, or to be holy to the Lord"

“This mimetic prayer language, this musical language.”

Many of the Enlightened Ones, including Walter, looked up thoughtfully.

They seemed to have figured out some pattern again and understood why their strength had increased so greatly recently!

Originally, the church had a unique set of mystical vocabulary for invoking the "Eternal Fire", and in this work, Master Lavoisier used music to show those who knew how he optimized it!

This kind of vocabulary can be called "harmonic litany"!

"A group of melodic fragments consisting of several notes are repeated. In the process of repetition, chords with strange regular "limited shift mode" are configured. For example, in bars 20-26, the simple "sol-fa-sol-fa" two notes are alternated and repeated 11 times like a prayer!"

Many artists or priests write revelations in their notebooks with shining eyes in scribbled handwriting.

"Well, the chords configured in it. For example, the fourth overlap, the addition of the dominant note, the reversed "Father's Theme", the tight resonance chords, etc. The delicate, subtle and elusive color combination is as strange and changeable as a kaleidoscope, as if adding the secret atmosphere of sensory bliss, exuding a charming fragrance that pleases the Lord."

"Just like the 'secret of devouring' implied in The Rite of Spring provides southerners with a set of ancient keys to pass through the door of the 'pond' phase, it seems that the 'harmonic litany' technique of 'Twenty Holy Infants Meditations' is used to reveal another angle of the 'candle' phase secret, the secret from Saint Sebastian."

The artists from the seminary were deeply inspired, but the members of the Special Inspection Hall's "inspection team" who were watching the performance were looking at each other in bewilderment.

Today, the inspection teams have arrived in relatively large numbers, with most of the dozen or so groups scattered across several continents and different county towns coming - this is also because the "Seven Days Ceremony" is approaching, and they will indeed gradually gather in the Holy City.

Moreover, several heads of "art supervision", including Laxus, did receive more specific instructions.

They were asked to quickly cooperate with the Secret History Research Institute to conduct research on the newly revealed key of the Lord of Witness, and to quickly use "phantoms" to fill the spiritual positions!

But Laxus was really dumbfounded at this moment.

This is bullshit cooperation!

The "secret of devouring" in "The Rite of Spring" is already confusing enough, and now there is a "harmonic litany".

Given a few years, perhaps a method of occupying the "phantom" position could be developed. But, quickly? Haha, why don't those people at the Secret History Research Institute do it "quickly" themselves?

These hidden knowledge carriers are all works of art! Much more troublesome than language carriers! Moreover, "The Art of Fugue" is barely okay, and the other two are avant-garde music, so the traditional hidden knowledge interpretation method is completely useless!

Do those people from the Secret History Research Institute understand it?

He also asks his people to report progress every day.

"Amateurs guide professionals!"

Lassus, a senior musicologist, felt dizzy again when he heard the series of bizarre chords and extremely complex rhythms on the stage.

Even my neck feels a little itchy.

"At least, those southerners were so eager to hype it up that they published the score of The Rite of Spring right away, but now this Twenty Meditations on the Holy Infants is out."

"Damn it, it's a question of when I can find the piano score!"
