Chapter 470 The Glorious Wheel
Bishop Tukville repeatedly glanced at the reminder card with "Festival Agenda" written on it.

The previous part of the "Little Mass" is an antique hymn "Entering the Stage" in the form of "Organon";
A "Sacred Scripture" for organ and soprano duet;
A pentatonic a cappella "Lamb Prayer" with a short "After Communion" ending.

The duration is no more than 10 minutes, all are single movements, and the orchestration is also very simple.

The Pope only accepted the works of three candidates for the priesthood.

There are 21 candidates vying for five places, and these three will definitely have the upper hand, because under the current new control situation, the attainment or potential in the field of art is related to the number of people who will be promoted to understanders later.

Although this threshold is difficult to cross, but if you bring high-ranking people with artistic attainments to key positions for training, if they have opportunities for promotion later, they will not be restricted for a long time, and there is always hope that they will reach the "Forged Lion". If it is "great" enough, it will be a matter of course.

Therefore, the current situation made Tukeville feel a little bored and unfair.

If five minus three leaves two, the road is narrow and the opportunities are small.

In the jurisdiction or department they are in charge of, it is probably the idea of ​​all bosses to win a capable subordinate to be the person in charge, and Tucville is no exception.But in the past few days when he followed up and paid attention to this matter, he did hear some "rumors" related to Lavoisier, except that the Special Inspection Office was expected to receive no support, and it seemed that even the nobles of the aristocratic family, the The attitudes of politicians and the military are also somewhat subtle.

It must be that they think that the entrustment of people like Lavoisier will touch their interests-Tucqueville understands the joint after a little thought, so in addition to writing a recommendation letter and sending music scores to the headquarters, he also I went to "walk around" extra, but he is not very good at dealing with the world among the high-level church, and he is a little powerless.

Fan Ning responded calmly with a smile: "The official business of selecting songs is like following the example of the Lord to choose people. If things are accomplished and things are not accomplished, you should not go out in a hurry or run away, because the Lord will leading in the front, and shall be our rear.”

"Father Lavoisier is right."

Turkville, who is more competitive, after hearing his persuasion, somehow seemed to calm down a little bit, and agreed with some admiration and emotion: "I have never participated in art creation and selection, but this truth may It’s also the same as the promotion on the mysterious side, the beginning of my church’s secret book emphasizes that learning “candle” is not for being brave and fierce, but for rising higher, shining farther, and seeing the essence of things in high places more clearly.”

The baptism festival officially began soon. The Pope, whom he had just met in a dream, took the stage under the attention of tens of thousands of people, and delivered a short opening prayer in a low tone.

At this time, the sky is not very clear, the light is white when it hits things, but it is not bright enough to be bright yellow. Following the Pope’s speech, the gas street lamps on the square and several fountains on the outer edge were closed one after another. The noise also gradually stopped, and it seemed that even the wind was no longer whistling.

The Pope stood with his hands upright, turned his palms slightly forward, and looked up at the sun:

"Our light-bearers in heaven, bear witness for the subjects of Janus,

testify of my worship to your Father,

That is written in the Garden of Light,

It is written on the Trembling Throne. "

The clergy lit torches in an arc around the sacristy, added frankincense to the incense boats, and offered topaz and rhodochrosite into copper basins.

"Then the Lord of Enlightenment was passing by;
The storm rages, and the mountains are broken, but the Lord is not in the storm;
After the wind there is an earthquake, and the Lord is not in the earthquake;

After the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire;

The subtle sound of the wind till after the fire, is the beginning of the song, the beginning of the curse, the great wheel of the shining throne;

Joy, Joy, Throne of Light;

Sing, sing, the high seat;

Marvel, marvel, one miracle after another"

With the input of the radiant essence, a circle of intense incandescent light burst out from around the altar, and then, as if being pulled by a steel cable of a crane, it was lifted inch by inch from the "plane" of the square, transforming Created a halo giant wheel that reaches a height of [-] meters vertically in space!

"call!!!"

Six wings with prominent brilliance spread out from both sides of the giant wheel, and the sense of gaze from the saint in the dream reappeared.

The body feeling of winter is no longer bitterly cold, and there is a warm atmosphere flowing around.

"This should be the altar 'Great Wheel of Glow' that they have passed down to this day, relying on the church headquarters and the underground of the square. When necessary, it is very likely to descend into it as a 'chariot'. In a sense, this It can't be regarded as the church's "hole card", at best it can only be regarded as a "bright card". Rich doesn’t even dare to take it lightly!.”

Fanning had seen Poglerich twice in dreams, and he understood that his strength had reached a level that he could not comprehend, and only the remaining divine power of the Lord of Witnesses could temporarily delay it.

But at present, with Fanning's limited vision, he can't judge the level of the two!

Compared with mortal creatures, the divine energy of this "Great Wheel of Glow" is too magnificent, pure, fiery, and boundless. The difference in both quantity and power has lost the meaning of comparison, so that it is impossible to feel it at all. Oppressive and dangerous, the entire holy city is swimming in this sacred torrent, and the spirituality of the people is all cheering!
After the choir took the stage, the chant of "Entering the Stage" sounded.

This kind of "Organon" antique style is the earliest origin form of polyphonic music in the Western Continent.

At first, priestly musicians just added a parallel line of [-]th or [-]th degree under the chant of a single melody, forming a simple "harmonic" effect. Movement-diagonal confluence” mode, further rhythmic interlacing and improvisational ornamentation
When these priestly musicians grasped the balance between "religious seriousness" and "musical liveliness" and fixed the long and short case relationship of counterpoint into six modes, "Organon" gradually evolved into "Disconte" , so the polyphonic music system of the Western Continent was gradually established.

After sorting it out in this way, Fan Ning thinks that "Endless Fugue" probably played some extremely important enlightenment role in the evolution of polyphonic music, and "Old Days" is the ritual instrument of "Endless Fugue". , which shows that both of them may be related to the "Unfalling Fire", but on the other hand, the seven source gods are clearly the study objects of the "Great Court School" of the Turangalian Dynasty
"The Special Patrol Office has sprung up for more than 2000 years, but the Church of the Holy Sun has been inherited for more than [-] years. What is the overlord of the era and what is just a passing cloud? I am afraid that their perspective in their eyes is really different from that of us. Waiting for my position in the church After gradually improving, you may be able to get in touch with some deeper knowledge, and there must be some unknown secret history in it.”

This candidate for the priest took the initial interval of a Requiem by Tarakani as the material. It should be with the creative intention of comforting the dead of war. In addition to the sad and solemn atmosphere, there is a sense of tranquility.

"Mr. Lavoisier, what do you think of the creative level of these people?" During the break during the small mass, Tucville did not look back, and asked the question in a very low voice.

"It looks good to me." Fanning praised sincerely.

"Well, your "Mass in B Minor" is definitely not bad. It may be limited by the length and scale. If it is performed in the small service, the whole festival schedule will be a bit top-heavy. His Majesty's vision has always been Quite right, maybe not being selected for the show doesn't mean he doesn't like it."

Tukeweier's tone was sullen, and the content seemed to be comforting the other party, but it sounded like his mentality had returned to the beginning.

Fan Ning nodded: "They take this as an example, and they must be able to receive this inspiration with joy, and take over those cities to keep the law and justice, and they will also thank His Excellency Bishop for the sincere words spoken on their behalf."

He still thinks about those other people he nominated?Turkville suddenly felt extremely ashamed, and was speechless for a while.

Could it be that after being a bishop for so many years, the structure has become narrower and narrower.
I couldn't remember the reason for it for a while, I just stared at the "Great Wheel of Light" in a daze, and suddenly I was surprised by the new changes on the altar and said:
"No. Isn't the orchestra in charge of the baptismal music the San Porto Philharmonic? It's true that the principal violinist belongs to them, but the trumpeter is obviously from the 'Unflammable' Festival Orchestra, no, this one is the oboe How does it look like the principal of the sacred Janus Symphony Orchestra?"

In the first two rows, Janus' military and political officials, the inspection team from the Special Inspection Office, and other distinguished guests and artists watching the ceremony frown, and Roy also had some doubts on his face.

The few spectators couldn't help but communicate in a low voice——

"Am I blinded?"

"Why did so many musicians and singers come up all of a sudden?"
