Now #live - #piano stream - https://twitch.tv/jazzaria_

I'll be musing on the theme from Dies Irae, since #GregorianChant is the #GenreOfTheWeek ⛪

The #GenreOfTheWeek is #GregorianChant - and happily, I actually have an almost-appropriate past track: https://jazzaria.bandcamp.com/album/a-mourning-prayer

Perhaps for my improvisation stream tomorrow I'll muse on the Dies Irae theme...

I asked the AI chatGPT to write a #GregorianChant about #SaintLucy #SantaLucia and this is what it came up with:

Sancta Lucia, virgo martyr,
Lux et splendor mundi,
Tu lucem mentibus infudisti,
Et tenebras pellisti.

Ora pro nobis, sancta Lucia,
Ut in tenebris lucem videamus,
Et a mortis periculo liberati,
In caelis cum Christo regnemus.

Gloria Patri, et Filio,
Et Spiritui Sancto,
Sicut erat in principio,
Et nunc, et semper,
Et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

*

Saint Lucy, virgin martyr,
Light and splendor of the world,
You infused light into our minds,
And chased away the darkness.

Pray for us, Saint Lucy,
That in the darkness we may see the light,
And, freed from the danger of death,
We may reign with Christ in heaven.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning,
And now, and always,
And for ages of ages. Amen.

#Christianity #ChristianSaints #ChristianWomen I think this AI chat mostly is not great tbh but I thought this request turned out pretty good!

…And the theses and the ictus, but those don’t make me cackle when I’m underslept!

I generally love performing at early and late candlelit services, but today’s 5:30am call time was not my friend.

Era il 2014.
Fu uno spettacolo bellissimo per San Martino, dove scoprii e studiai un bel repertorio di sequenze per il santo, gli inni di Venanzio Fortunato, e poi c'era ancora il gruppo del Canto Fratto, e tante altre realtà riunite insieme.
Restano molte foto, e il ricordo nel cuore.
E poi l'aveva scritto il Tano ❤️

But then...

"In other words, once he smelt a whiff of opposition from his subordinates, Paul pretended he had never actually meant the things he had written. Just a few weeks afterward, Weakland directed the monks at Sant’ Anselmo, who had prayed together for centuries, to split their prayer lives into six different language groups in order to “unite the community.”"

It's a mystery to me why Benedictine #monks would want to give up #GregorianChant .
