Forsaken by all and church. Slandered at church and no apology. Priority of apology friends don't perceive.
What makes Francis evil is that he equalizes all religions. Somewhere in his Vatican there is a coexist bumper sticker covering over a Crucifix. Orthodox, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, etcetera, none of them evangelize, none of them send out missionaries. The direct command was issued, and the apostles spread the faith everywhere. Francis can swim around in boiling stew with equal amounts of potatoes, vegetables, and tripe, but I am moving on, past this little caesar, this little napoleon. We are living through events as acute as the Great Schism of 1054 and the protestant revolt in the 1500s. The major difference now is that the pope is leading. And San Francisco is done, to resurrect only after another Great Fire and Earthquake.

 Title: Violin Concerto in D Major
Orchestra: National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America Composer: Peter Tchaikovsky 1840-1893 Place composed: Clarens, Switzerland Music style: Russian Romanticism Date: 1878 The first time I heard the music was in college. The school library had a room with earphones and a large collection of records. Mr. T was a pianist! How did he accomplish this? Josef Kotek, violinist and friend, talked to him about the violin. I could never have taken to this instrument. It's too close to the face. Piano keys are the right distance away. Dominican St. Antoninus 1459 — “In the case in which the Pope would become a heretic, he would find himself, by that very fact alone and without any other sentence, separated from the Church. A head separated from a body cannot, as long as it remains separated, be head of the same body from which it was cut off.”
Jesuit St. Robert Bellarmine 1610 — “A Pope who is a manifest heretic automatically ceases to be a Pope and head, just as he ceases automatically to be a Christian and a member of the Church.” Salesian St. Francis de Sales 1622 — “Now when the Pope is explicitly a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church …” Steinway pianos: broad range of tone
Bechstein pianos: romantic tone, bell-like to my ear A new Steinway grand, flagship (top of the line) Model D, which is designed for the concert stage and has 15 coats of shellac, ranges from $148,000 to $164,000. I suppose a few concert pianists own a Model D, maybe used. Pianos last longer than a car and need regular tuning at least once a year to keep them up to pitch and playing the correct notes. Strings stretch a great deal during the first year after purchase, and the piano should be tuned twice. My first piano had real ivory keys, and unlike everyone else in the orchestra, a pianist memorizes all the notes. That's the rule, but at Kayden's level, there is a lot of finger memory. Pianists develop quirks, if they don't already have them at the start, which make him more lovable. Yes, I admire a 16-year-old. Tune a piano after it is moved from one building or house to another. It is inexpensive and takes about an hour. Please leave. It will drive you nuts. Tuners look normal.

17:16 Op. 15, No. 1 in F major. Andante cantabile (slow and song-like). This is my favorite music in the whole world. It makes me cry, has made an appearance in my blog several times, and is rededicated to a friend for whom I can do very little but listen. When he said that the sound of F Major is “joy, passing regret, religious sentiment”, Helmholtz was close. There is also frustration and anger. The performer is François Chaplin. Piano students play Scarlatti but not this way. Watch the video before you read my comments. Okay. This is not an AI body with hands. What he did was program 3D software, like Disney's animation. The hands are animation, and he had to program the animated hands so that the fingering was correct. Consumatum est. It is consummated.
30 Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost. And there you have a slice of the history of the English language brought to you by the Douay-Rheims 1582. (King James published 1611, 29 years after) Don't be afraid of the French name. They were Englishmen living across the English Channel because Betty I would kill. English title: The Bat Alternate titles: The Flittermouse and The Revenge of the Bat Date: premiered in 1874 Genre: Operetta, Comedy of Errors Composer: Johann Straus II Similar to Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, which premiered in 1895, this play left me wondering, "Which husband belongs to which wife?" He says, "To hell with your husband," and she says, "I think he's already there."
Written when he was 22, the melody is contained in 14 notes... for a particular and for true believers like myself who go through periods of unbearable sadness. I wish I had my playing hands back so I could play for him.

Khachaturian Juventino Rosas Iosif Ivanovici Eugen Doga Shostakovich Tchaikovsky Strauss Strauss II I wonder if Jesus and Joseph danced with Mary.
My father and I danced with my mother. She was very leadable. In the living room, they demonstrated dancing on the balls of the feet. Love birds they were not, but physically a total match and they knew how to dress, like the man (sans mustache) and woman painted. My father was an amateur boxer from 16 to 26. He died in 1997, she in 2017. The pain of separation has intensified. April 30, 1975
Attendance at the only Sunday Mass in the 50s and 60s was very high, around 75%, and Father Joe Devlin SJ of San Francisco was on board that helicopter. June 13, 2024 Attendance at the New Mass is hovering at 8% in the US, and at the Latin Mass it is virtually 100%. Wherefore two kinds of Mass? Abolish the New. (The original music is "Way Down We Go" by KALEO.) News reports seem to indicate that the political tide in France is coming in for the right and going out for the left, and prospects seem to be the same in the USA. The Latin Mass is strongest in France and the USA, and that Mass alone, or nothing, can save Western Civilization. Meantime, the Vatican ship of state floats on the waves of the Beach Boys.
Aristide organa fecit, quae sunt in toto orbe terrarum. Aristide made organs, which are all over the world. The man is way up there.
love these classicists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cole_Thomas_The_Course_of_Empire_Destruction_1836.jpg
Title: Destruction Artist: Thomas Cole 1801-1848 Series title: The Course of Empire Genre: landscape painting Date: 1836 Medium: oil Dimensions: height 39.5 in; width 63.5 in Collection: New-York Historical Society Accession number: 1858.4 Place of creation: USA Thomas Cole was founder of the Hudson River School turning out art that flourished in the mid-19th century. Influenced by Romantic and realistic styles, and father of five, the English-born American painted nature in detail. Latin was originally in all caps. TLM'rs, please stop arguing over the Latin Mass. You bring others down. The Latin Mass has improved my life extraordinarily. If you discuss the ways in which it has changed your life, that helps everyone.
Technicalities are like fine print. No one reads it. If the fine print catches up with me, fine, I know that God understands my decision to not return to the inferior version of it, ever, even if the Latin Mass disappeared. He is the One Who formed the conscience of the recusant-nonconformist-loner, not you. That is enough of the right amount of human respect I can give anyone. Enough distressing hours awake and asleep got me to this place, with more likely to come. 15th century Francis of Paola 1416: born 1464: Francis wanted to cross the Straits of Messina to reach Sicily, but a boatman refused to take him. Francis laid his cloak on the water, tied one end to his staff to make a sail, and sailed across with his companions. 1507: died 19th century Franz Liszt 1811: born 1833-39: Franz had three children with his mistress. 1862: He wrote "St. Francis Paola Walking on the Waves". 1865: He became a Franciscan tertiary (disputed) and took the four minor orders of the Roman Catholic Church, though he never became a priest. For more than a year he did not touch the piano. During this period Liszt took an active dislike to the career of a virtuoso. 1886: died Two sources gave the information sought. One was Reddit, and the other was a dissertation from Washington University in St. Louis.
1729 – born Olot, Spain 1736 (age 6) – enters the choir school of the Monastery of Montserrat 1746 (age 17) – appointed Choir Master in Lleida 1752 (age 23) – admitted to the Monastery of San Lorenzo del Escorial 1753 (age 24) – begins studying under Domenico Scarlatti & José de Nebra 1783 (age 54) – dies Father Soler's birthplace, Olot, is between the Fluvia River and the Pyrenees Mountains. Known for a 20-hour workday, he was appointed music teacher for the Infantes Antonio and Gabriel, sons of King Carlos III. He reminds me of John Vianney, known to hear confessions for 12-14 hours a day, which is quite a contrast to New Order churches where confessions are heard for one hour on Saturday. At Latin Mass churches confessions are heard every day.  Title: Retrato de Carlos III, niño (Carlos III at nine)
Artist: Jean Rank Curator: Museo del Prado https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Carlos_III,_ni%C3%B1o.jpg In this short scene, several times the ballerina must hold herself on pointe without his support, and that is what everyone is watching.
The 1991 performance is the best version I've seen and is full of images of love and chivalry. Lights are dimmed for a reason: you get my drift. At the end he almost tips backward, live, not pre-recorded, and from the male point of view, I mean, look at who the composer and choreographer are, and you might think that the man is in charge, but look again, at her hands and the placement of them! This is a great visual for the writer to develop characters. Look at her eyes: she is always aware of where she is. He is an imbecile, just happy about what he's done. You didn't know so much was packed into a few minutes of ballet grace. I'm here to help. Composer: Frenchman Daniel-François-Esprit Auber 1782-1871 Choreographer: Russian Victor Gsovsky 1902-1974 (1949) Singer: Sara Mingardo
Music: RV 644 Juditha triumphans Composer: Father Antonio Vivaldi Review: stars above 17. Aria "Agitata infido flatu" Agitata infido flatu Diu volatu Vagabundo Maesta hirundo It plorando Boni ignara. Sed impulsu aurae serenae Tantae cito oblita poenae In dilecta Dulcia tecta Gaudi ridet haud avara. 17. Aria "Tossed by a treacherous wind" Tossed by the treacherous wind in its long flight, the wandering sad swallow goes weeping, unaware of good. But pushed by a fair breeze, suddenly forgetting such sorrow, in its delightfully tender nest. Before any translation I heard anguish. |
