Olivier Messiaen: O Sacrum Convivium (1937).

John Rutter, director

The Cambridge Singers

En el recuerdo alegre y devoto de Olivier Messiaen, dos piezas muy diferentes acerca de su grandeza estilística y formal. O Sacrum Convivium es, además, una joya formal, debido a la ambigüedad que desarrolla entre una pieza eminentemente tonal (en fa sostenido mayor) y lo que posteriormente el compositor teorizará como modos de transposición limitada, basados en la escala de tonos completos y que explorara ya previamente con éxito Claude Debussy.

I suffer from rewatcher/rereader syndrome to the point that reading about a concept I already know expressed in a slightly different way usually excites me more than reading about something new.

The General Masterlist

As the General of the Roman army, General Marcus has strengthened his reputation as a strong, capable, brutal man. You can't help but want him though, and he can't seem to help himself either.

a/n; There is no overarching story for these two, there will be no end, I want this to be a world we can dip back into at any time. Please feel free to send asks about them, to ask for headcanons and details. A warning though; this isn't a relationship in the traditional sense. There is a huge power-imbalance and for the purposes of the story, it will not change. We're also going quite rogue here since the movie hasn't come out. (Edit; I lied. They have feelings and the story is definitely going somewhere. There is still room to dip in between the beginning and the end though so ask away and I will make it work!)

Wine in the Ancient Mediterranean

Wine was the most popular manufactured drink in the ancient Mediterranean. With a rich mythology, everyday consumption, and important role in rituals wine would spread via the colonization process to regions all around the Mediterranean coastal areas and beyond. The Greeks institutionalised wine-drinking in their famous symposia drinking parties, and the Romans turned viticulture into a hugely successful business, so much so, that many of the ancient wine-producing territories still enjoy some of the highest reputations in the modern wine industry.

Wine was drunk on social occasions such as the Greek symposium, or drinking party, where elite male citizens would discuss politics and philosophy and be entertained by musicians and courtesans (hetairai). Special drinking vessels developed such as the shallow stemmed kylix which could easily be lifted from the floor by a drinker reclining on a couch. Large pottery vessels known as kraters were made so that wine could be easily mixed with water. The Roman equivalent to the symposium was the convivium where respectable women were added to the guest list and food had a greater emphasis.

Besides being a tasty drink and social lubricant wine had other functions such as in the pouring of libations to the gods in religious ceremonies. Wine, often healthier than unreliable sources of water, was also sometimes prescribed as a medicine by ancient doctors. This remedy was to be taken in moderation, though, as the ancients early identified the dangers of excessive drinking including insomnia, memory loss, a distended stomach, character changes, and early death. Wine was a gift from the gods but not to be over-indulged in or one would end up meeting them earlier than one hoped.

Okay can you tell me facts about Poseidon wife Amphitrite

"AMPHITRITE, the consort of Poseidon, was generally thought to have been a daughter of Nereus (although an alternative tradition presented her as a daughter of Okeanos, and it is stated in one source that she was the mother of the Nereids) [Nereid, Hes. Theog. 243; Okeanid, Apollod. 1.2.2, 1.4.5; consort of Poseidon, ibid. 931–4, Pi. Ol. 6.104–5, Bacch. 17.109–11; mother of Nereids, Mel. adesp. 21]. She was a reluctant bride as was commonly the case with the Nereids, who preferred to live a carefree life as virgins in the company of their parents and many sisters. According to one account, Poseidon abducted her from the island of Naxos after she had emerged from the sea to dance on the shore with her sisters [Schol. Od. 3.91]; or else she fled from him when he tried to court her, and hid herself in the depths of the Ocean near Atlas (i.e. in the far west). In the latter case, Poseidon sent many envoys in search of her, including his special beast the dolphin, who discovered her in the outer Ocean and carried her to Poseidon on its back (or at least let him know where she was hiding). The god was so grateful that he declared the dolphin sacred and placed an image of it among the stars (as the northern constellation Delphinus) [Hides "near Atlas" and after being won over by the dolphin agrees to mary Poseidon, Eratosth. Catast. 31, Hyg. Astr. 2.17; Hides in the Halls of Okeanos and the Dolphin reveals her location to Poseidon who carries her off against her will, Oppian. Halieutica 1. 38]. After finally becoming the wife of Poseidon, Amphitrite lived at his side in his golden palace beneath the sea, enjoying high honour as the queen of the seas. Although she is depicted quite frequently in works of art as a goddess of noble aspect, often enthroned beside her husband, she rarely appears in mythical tales. According to a fairly ancient legend, she offered a gracious reception to Theseus (here regarded as a son of Poseidon) when he threw himself off a ship to prove to Minos that he was a son of the god of the sea [she presents him with a purple robe and a wreath or crown that she had received from Aphrodite as a wedding gift, an alternative version of the origin of Ariadne's crown, Bacchylides. F. 17, Paus. 1.17.3; Hyg. Astr. 2.5]; and a story of later origin claimed that she caused Skylla to be turned into a monster after discovering that her husband had embarked on a love affair with her [Servius ad Aeneid 3.420; Tzetzes ad Lycophron 45]. Poseidon and Amphitrite are credited with only a single child in the Theogony, the sea-god Triton, ‘who holds the depths of the sea and lives with his mother and the lord his father, a fearsome god’ [Hes. Theog. 930–3]. Apollodorus adds two daughters, Benthesikyme (Wave of the Deep) and Rhode, the nymph or personification of the island of Rhodes [Apollod. 3.15.4 and 1.4.5 respectively]." – Routledge Handbook of Greek Mythology 7th Edition, Robin Hard.

She also attends the birth of Apollo along with other goddesses [Homeric Hymn 3 to Delian Apollo, 89–102], demands the sacrifice of a lesbian maiden [Plutarch. Septem Sapientum Convivium 163b; De sollertia animalium 36], transforms the Alkyonides into halcyons when they leap off Kanastraion, the peak of Pellene [Suidas s.v. Alkyonides], and transforms Skylla (here the daughter of Nisos, though confused with the monster of the same name) into a Ciris bird (perhaps an Egret) [Appendix Vergiliana. Ciris 478].

Lastly, she's most frequently attested as a metonym or personification of the sea [eg. Eurip. Cycl. 702; Ov. Met. 1.14], and is hailed as mother and/or nurse of dolphins, fish, seals and other sea creatures [eg. Aelian On Animals 12.45; Homer Od. 4.404, 5.422, 12.97].

Ferragosto?

Personalmente la trovo una festività inutile, l'ultimo che ricordo perché poi mi sono dissociato da festeggiare ... cosa? Mi sembra risalga al 93, sicuramente perché c'era anche Andrea e camminava ancora con le sue gambe, poi ebbe un incidente in moto e restò in carrozzina 😥. Gli anni successivi c'era sempre qualcuno che mi chiedeva "Cosa fai a ferragosto?", "Niente, mi sto a casa" e li giù di "Ma come, è bello ci sono i falò, si beve, quelli con le chitarre, è divertente", sarà divertente per voi non per me che odio la sabbia, i menestrelli da falò li brucerei con tutta la chitarra, bere? bevo lo stesso non c'è bisogno di una festività per bere. Se pensate che è stato istituito dall'imperatore Augusto nel 18 secolo AC e che era il primo di Agosto per festeggiare la fine dei lavori faticosi nei campi e poi fu spostata dalla chiesa al 15 per accorparla come sempre ad una festa religiosa, l'assunzione, in questi tempi moderni a cosa serve se non coltiviamo più la terra e della religione non frega più niente a nessuno? Rusticum convivium, giusto per restare in tema romanico imperiale. La cosa che mi ha sempre intristito dell'Italia è che il sistema romano vige ancora dopo più di 1500 anni dalla sua caduta, il sistema del favore, del nepotismo e di quelle pratiche che solo noi italiani conserviamo gelosamente come se fossero giuste e accettabili in una società che oramai è proiettata verso un futuro iper tecnologico e oscuro per quanto mi riguarda. Detto questo, e sicuramente ci sarà qualcuno che avrà da ridire, ma mi spiace io la vedo così una 'festa' inutile, passiamo oltre.

Ieri avevo pensato di andare a letto presto quando sul tubo mi appare un documentario sui minimalisti, penso "beh, vediamo di cosa si tratta", 2 ore e passa di storia di quel periodo, dei compositori maggiori che vengono anche intervistati, manca John Cage eh beh è morto nel 92. Non sono riuscito a finirlo perché quasi alle 2 di notte non ci stavo più dietro, oggi lo completo. Quello che mi ha evidenziato il docu-film è che questi compositori avevano trovato una strada alternativa per creare qualcosa di nuovo dietro un concetto che era figlio di quei tempi, la modernità, si parla degli anni 60 il boom negli USA e delle varie correnti culturali che si erano create in quel periodo. E' bello vedere quei pionieri raccontare il periodo che hanno vissuto dove facevano altri lavori e cercavano una strada per proporre la loro musica e le loro idee, mi ricorda qualcosa 😅.

Come diceva Kandinskij "ogni opera è figlia del suo tempo", ma sappiamo che spesso, e quando si parla di musica ancora di più, non è facile proporre qualcosa che col periodo ha poco a che fare, Cage infatti qualche decennio dopo Vasilij disse "La musica è in continuo movimento, l'ascolto no", una frase forte che fa capire come ci si debba spremere per creare qualcosa che sia ascoltabile dalle persone del nostro tempo ma che abbia qualcosa di nuovo, qua ci starebbe bene anche il discorso di Gaber sui tre tipi di musicisti, cerco di sintetizzarlo, "c'è il tipo che fa quello che vuole il pubblico e passa alla cassa, prostituzione, quello che fa quello che vuole e muore di fame, e quello che cerca una via di mezzo", poi ognuno la vede come vuole e non biasimo chi fa brutte cose solo per fare una vita agiata.

Nella mia carriera musicale a singhiozzo dove spesso mi trovavo a suonare da solo e sporadicamente per via del lavoro intenso che mi toccava fare per pagare i conti, dopo 10 ore tra i tavoli non arrivi a casa con la voglia di prendere la chitarra e suonare credimi, a volte mi trovavo a suonare, le famose jam, con personaggi assurdi, poche volte mi sono trovato a suonare in situazioni tranquille, il divertimento è un'altra cosa, ma suonare in tranquillità senza dover per forza prendere ordini ed eseguire alla lettera le note che tizio o caio nella loro egoespansione mi intimavano quasi mafiosamente ad eseguire, andavo sempre via da quelle situazioni, ad uno gli dissi "Si, io posso suonare tutto quello che vuoi, ma se non ci posso mettere neanche 4 note, che ci dovrebbero stare in realtà, allora mi devi pagare". La musica nelle band è spesso legata a uno stile o a quello che gli piace fare a loro, io non mi sono legato mai a nessuno stile, non ho mai fatto parte di una fan base, nel senso che ascolto tantissima musica e stimo moltissimi musicisti, mi piace la loro musica, ma se qualcuno mi dice che fa cagare non me la prendo come se fosse mio fratello, un esempio...boh...I Guns che in qualche modo mi piacciono, molti mi hanno detto che sono una band commerciale e che fanno cagare, io non li conosco mica Slash, Duff e Axel, che me frega se a te non piacciono, oramai non li ascolto neanche più, va bè avete capito. C'è questa forma di tifoseria calcistica anche nella musica, vi rendete conto che è ridicolo? E' come se io ti dico che non mi piacciono gli asparagi e tu mi insulti perché a te piacciono tantissimo, non ha senso 😅 fa anche un pò ridere sta cosa, è come se io amo Mozart e tu dici che era un coglione perché nel film (quello di Milos Forman) lo dipingono come un bimbominkia dedito al divertimento e allo sfarzo, si magari era anche quello, ma era anche uno che passava ore a scrivere note su un foglio di carta, ma non me la prendo se a te non piace. Va bè, chiudo con una frase di un jazzista, che non ricordo il nome, che dice "Oramai non frega niente più a nessuno della musica, le persone pensano solo a come è vestito il tizio, con chi va a letto, che droghe usa, della musica non importa più", questa frase risale agli anni 50, la fine se non erro, quando il jazz perse il podio di musica mainstream ed arrivò il rock'n'roll, però fa capire in che direzione siamo andati visti i risultati che abbiamo in questo periodo storico nebbioso.

Be ever mindful of the Genii of the Flask: That which is written by mortal hands reveals only the lesser portion of our Sacred Wine. The path betwixt […] illumine yet greater and ever more subtil arcana […]

Know then, that the perfection of the Arte is consummated within the Viridarium Umbriis, the Pleasure-Garden of Shadow; that Hidden Cubiculum of Plant Mysteries enclos'd by the coils of the Serpent of the Wise. And within the blood-bound troth of this Emerald Convivium shall the Tree of Wisdom […] stretch its limbs and bear the most precious of fruit.

Our Garden has no portals, and is Watched and Warded […] Despite this, some may gain admittand: Those Green [Sorcerers] call'd truly by [ the Woodwose of the Sorcerers], and the Children of the Royal Bloodline of Arte. Yet only the Ordeals of the Path and eternal wandering of the haunted Wilderness […] shall this Oasis be attain'd.

And many are the unworth, they who would confront the Sentinels standing at the Garden's quarters; those who would deign scale the Pleasure-Garden's walls to attain this Tree's hidden fruit. Yea, they shall be impaled on the thorns of the great […] infernal Tree of the Profane […]

Let the Wise Sorcerers, they who possess the Hidden Virtue, shun the folly of these! [P] Let the Wise stand unique, each as a Tree: Silent; strong; industrious; rooted firm within the Blood-Plot of its own domain, yet grasping the Heavens for what lies beyond; visible only when need be, and bearing good fruit. For there is another operation known to the Dwellers of the Grove, which will attain the miraculous Arbour of Desire.
