Sometimes I get a word stuck in my head. Something will make me think of a really random word, and then I’ll be like, Where did THAT come from??

This evening the word “caelestis” came into my head. And I’m like, Where do I know that word from? I never took Latin. I know it means “heavenly” tho...

And the moment I knew the meaning of the word, a longer phrase popped into my head: “rex caelestis”. Heavenly king. And I realized we must have sung a religious song in Latin that had the phrase, which meant it was a song I sang in County Chorus, because that’s the only place I ever sang in Latin.

And then a moment later the actual TUNE for that phrase of the song came into my head! And I was like, “It’s from Movement 2 of John Rutter’s “Gloria”, which we sang my senior year, which was 2004. Which was 19 years ago. ...How the FUCK do I still remember this tune??”

That was a ride...

Anyway, I looked it up, and there’s a REASON I remember that bit of the tune: because it is DRAMATIC. Movement 2 is really beautiful--parts of it sound like Tolkien elf music!--and the phrase “Rex Caelestis” is the climax of the movement. It happens precisely at 4:00 here (it’s hard to tell what they’re singing there because the accompaniment is so loud). If you want to hear the build-up to that climax, you can try starting at 3:10.

Rutter’s “Gloria” was a pain in the ass to sing because it was FORTY-TWO PAGES LONG (and that was just the choral music!), but it’s fun listening to it again. I may have to download it.

here’s a @sundayhymnsing contribution from me! I was looking for something that lent itself to a Thanksgiving mood, so here’s verse 1 of For the Beauty of the Earth (John Rutter version, which I adore).

how many more masses until I have the right to judge which one slaps the hardest because heck I got Ryan Cayabyab on my standards, Giacomo Puccini on my archive, and now Rutter and Kook for the end of this semester

Olivier Messiaen: O sacrum convivium (1937).

The Cambridge Singers

John Rutter, director

Una pieza relativamente temprana de Messiaen en estilo prioritariamente tonal, pero conservando sonoridades procedentes de los modos de transposición limitadas descubiertos por el compositor. Es una materia de debate aún. Me satisface más la idea de pensar que hay texturas distintas ocurriendo en el mismo fresco. Es curioso resaltar que John Rutter, director de esta grabación, es además un excelente compositor de música sacra.
