11/6/1967
the initial release date of War and Peace based on the historical novel by Leo Tolstoy published in 1867, 100 years before French invasion of Russia
Tchaikovsky's Overture was written to celebrate Russia's victory over Napoleon's invading forces in 1812, incorporating the "Marseillaise" with Russian anthems and folk music. Tsar Alexander I ruled the Russian Empire from 1801 to 1825 and was the leader who defeated Napoleon. Russian composers of the time were very patriotic, including Tchaikovsky. While appreciating European musical traditions, he embraced the Russian identity and incorporated Russian folk music and themes into his compositions. Often played on the Fourth of July, American Independence Day, the music is not associated with the War of 1812 between Great Britain and the United States. Indian tribes allied with both sides, many joining the opposing team. Riders and horses know how to fall.

As with Shakespeare, better choices for high school boys are Julius Caesar and Henry V. To this day, I despise Hamlet's indecisiveness as uninspiring.

Ut queant laxis resonare fibris translates to "So that with loosened voices, they may resound" or "So that with loosened cords, they may resound". The hymn is famous for its use of the syllables "ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la" to teach the notes of the musical scale. As we know, monks were the first educators of priests. Ha-ha. My musical theory is that the last priest on Earth or anywhere will precede Armageddon. Johann Sebastian, Lutheran 1643-1750

Old Testament Book of Jeremias, Latin with English subtitles https://www.drbo.org/chapter/28001.htm Saint Jerome translated the Old Testament into Latin. His translation, which also included the New Testament, became the standard Latin version of the Bible and is known as the Vulgate. Jerome completed this work between AD 383 and 404. He used Hebrew and Greek manuscripts for his translations.
The Douay-Rheims translators completed their work on the Vulgate in 1582 and 1609-1610, giving us the first English Bible. Bishop Richard Challoner (1691 - 1781), a leader of English Roman Catholics, made some revisions to the Douay, and it became the authorized edition for English Catholics. Music

He inherited the throne from his father, King Louis XIII, who died suddenly in 1643. Because Louis XIV was too young to rule, his mother, Anne of Austria, and his chief advisor, Cardinal Mazarin, served as regents. My writing student's middle name is King Louis.

Stay for the last few minutes because then they do the hard stuff. France Achille-Claude Debussy 1862-1918 He was much more impressed by the music of the 16th-century composers Palestrina and Lassus, which he heard at Santa Maria dell'Anima: ‘The only church music I will accept’. He was often depressed and unable to compose, but he was inspired by Franz Liszt, who visited Debussy's piano students and played for them. In June 1885, Debussy wrote of his desire to follow his own way, saying, ‘I am sure the Institute would not approve, for, naturally it regards the path which it ordains as the only right one. But there is no help for it! I am too enamoured of my freedom, too fond of my own ideas!’ Wikipedia Comment: I cannot give glory to God for my own work if I am not enamored with it first.

Latin, Father of All Romance Languages and English Some will say that Latin is not an essential part of the Mass or anything else, such as writing. However, Latin has given me a better understanding of the language I speak and write every day, and my grasp of English is a critical part of the thousands of hours expended developing this website. Moreover, an understanding of Latin will assist a concentration in English and reading fine literature, as found in my Reading List. Prior to the middle of the last century, all or most American and British students were reading Latin, and, it puts one closer in time to Christ. He spoke it, and what about Peter and Paul? Catholic homeschoolers are. There is no manipulating a static language. Manipulating English is constant.

Igor Moiseyev Ballet Americans are infernally stupid about ballet and sadly infected by Puritanism, present tense, or its opposite, decadence, present tense, which makes them impervious to art, culture, and music. Our Catholic tradition is overflowing with the last three, but even many of our brothers are stung by Puritanism, so stifled that they cannot read classical literature, and so fearful of God and Rome that they cannot diverge from the line or think for themselves. If you realize that person might be you, listen and be shocked Revelation |
