Old-time musicians

Some unexpected situations occurred in the distant front and back alleys, and on the altar, as the conductor waved his hand, the choir's position changed rapidly.

The left side merged with the left rear, the right side merged with the right rear, and the choir members who were originally separated in the main choir seats at the rear also merged again.

On the surface, the number of areas was reduced from six to three, but in fact, there was a more subtle subdivision inside, and each area was a complete four-part choir.

"Hosanna! Hosanna!"

"Cheers, resounding through the sky!"

The three large blocks of four-part choirs composed of a twelve-part chorus, alternately presenting and imitating the cheering tone of the 23rd part!

Bach wrote four parts for the "Sanctus", namely "Sanctus", "Hosanna I", "Blessing", and "Hosanna II". In the doctrine, "Hosanna" means the cheers of the people when the "unfading fire" rises again. It originally meant "request for help" and "request for salvation", and later it was extended to praise and amazement.

Like the previous song "Holy", it is also based on the 3/8 beat of the D major similar to the Paspiel dance, and even the composition form of the melody motive is quite similar, which makes the jubilant mood of "the heaven and earth are full of glory" rise to a higher level.

"Blessed are those who come in her name."

In the 24th part "Blessing Sutra", the tenor sings a pastoral aria, and the flute and violin provide melodious accompaniment. A kind of simple and soft rationality quietly wanders in the pastoral mood of the valley plants and flower beds.

This is an interlude sandwiched between the previous and subsequent "Hosannas", with a mysterious temperament of self-admiration. Soon the cheers of the 25th part come, forming a radiant and exquisite ABA arch reappearance structure.

"Hosanna! Hosanna!"

"Cheers resounded through the sky!"

Those church leaders who always paid attention to "whether allusions were used", "whether it was refined", "whether the style was pure", and "whether it was full of theological metaphors" found that every note from the Creed to the Sanctum Sanctorum still perfectly corresponded to the doctrine.

In such a complex nested structure, all ideas and inspirations were presented extremely clearly.

"This is definitely a masterpiece that can only be composed with the personal teachings of the "Unfallen Fire"!"

The chief inquisitor Melaltin, who sat on the left of Luo Yin, was a thin, stern-faced, and three-level powerful man with a burning cross on his white robe. At this moment, he felt his knees a little weak

Not only because of the music on the stage.

He had already felt that more than a dozen people in this square had been promoted.

Yes, among the more than 30,000 people, there were more than a dozen newly promoted knowledgeable people!

Theoretically, the people who can enter the square, especially those in the front area, have a higher proportion of people with prominent backgrounds or extraordinary talents, and can get better enlightenment effects, but there is a larger base number outside the square farther away, and I am afraid that the number will be quite large when the statistics are counted later!

Melaltin's eyes flashed under his two thick eyebrows and thought: "Lavoisier has naturally become the top candidate for the priest this time. Only he has a position reserved, and no one else has occupied his position. I don't know how far this person is from the limit of the high rank. Judging from the "Lai Biqi Rescue Operation" reflected that night, it will not be too far."

"More importantly, it is not difficult for him to be evaluated as a "Forged Lion" character, and the Special Patrol Office cannot object. This means that there will be no obstacles for him to use the key of the "Lamp Shadow Gate" of my church in the future."

It is almost inevitable that Lavoisier will become a profound person. When thinking of this, the reactions and complaints caused by Lavoisier's arrival and the reasons behind the instigation seem to be easy to explain.

Melaltin, who can be the presiding judge, is definitely not a soft-hearted person.

First, it is a highly vigilant security. Secondly, if such a genius is really killed by the Special Patrol Office, he will at least assassinate three or five so-called geniuses of the Special Patrol Office who are one level lower, and take equal revenge!

The latter's determination must be made.

In fact, the Pope standing on the stage now has similar ideas as him.

"Even, even, with Lavoisier's perception, will there be the possibility of creating a key to climb up? It is said that such a person needs to complete the discussion of the structure of the pagoda when he passes through the door for the first time. There are only a few in thousands of years, but my church is not without precedent, the ancient Saint Sebastian who bathes in light"

If you can really create your own key and have terrifying strength and potential far beyond the same realm, then the revival era of the Holy Pride Sun Church

The jubilant and enthusiastic chorus subsided a little, and the alternating prelude of the first and second violins brought the music into a broad, long and meditative state.

The mass ceremony finally entered the last link, which is also the most peaceful and joyful link, "Lamb's Prayer".

At first, the prayer was three identical prayers, and the content of calling on the Lamb of the Lord was "Have mercy on us", but later the words of the third prayer were slightly changed, "Have mercy on us" was changed to "Give us peace", forming the AAB three-part lyrics that are still used today.

In fact, Bach made a more dramatic treatment when composing the music.

He divided the "Apostle of the Lamb" into two sections, "Lamb of God" and "Give us peace". In order to highlight the hard-won final prayer for peace, the material of the first section was greatly lengthened, and the close connection and response techniques were used to "call and request" again and again -

"Lamb of the Lord who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us."

“Have mercy on us, the Lamb of the Lord, who takes away the sin of the world.”

In the balanced continuo, this 26-minute contralto aria sings the only G minor with a flat in the mass.

This may also be a way of depicting the "imminent return to normal", making the audience eagerly look forward to the arrival of the "peace" prayer that follows.

Until the 27th double fugue finale arrives as promised.

“Peace, the Lamb of the Lord, who takes away the sin of the world”

Lasting nearly three hours, from the Sutra of Mercy, the Sutra of Glory to the Creed, the Holy Sutra and then to the Lamb's Sutra, this huge and magnificent religious masterpiece finally came to an end, with the baptism interspersed in between. Ritual sessions such as the reading of oaths and the Eucharist also came to an end successfully.

All the instruments returned to the big band in a moist and silent manner. The voices of the four chants of the three choruses came from all directions like a warm tide, like the pure, peaceful and boundless source of the "glow wheel" in mid-air. .

What surprised and moved all the listeners was that the melody and harmony material of this finale was exactly the same as that of Part 6, which embodies "praise, praise, worship and display".

It's just that due to the lyrics, some half notes were changed to whole notes, or quarter notes were changed to half notes.

Even later, they discovered that even the number of bars was 46.

"Part 6 is the emotional center of the Book of Glory. He wanted us to hear 'Glory to the Lord in the Highest' again at the end of the Mass." Bishop Tukwer had tears in his eyes. light flashes,

"This Lavoisier is not asking God to grant him peace, but to thank God for granting peace to all those who truly believe in him. This is a film of exquisite form and profound connotation. Mass music, a pious work filled with divine glory, flesh and blood, and humanistic care."

"On the surface, it looks like a five-stage frame for a regular mass. In fact, it includes all the special situations defined in the canon. This is the crystallization of my inheritance for thousands of years, Janus, and it is an insurmountable peak in the history of religious art!"

The Pope was filled with emotion. He looked at Lavoisier, who had closed his eyes and listened with a calm face, under his seat, and then looked at Galinitz on the stage.

The master conductor also closed his eyes and smiled, and gently lowered his baton, letting the sound of the last chant slowly dissipate in the peaceful silence.

The sky is clear of all the clouds, and is as clear as water. The warm winter sun is shining, and the gentle breeze is blowing.

The rustling sound of clothes was heard.

First it was Judge Melaldine, and then dozens of church leaders.

From the front row of seats to the entire square, from the main streets to the streets and alleys, the crowd stood up and stood in silence.
