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.

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

The Lord Bless You and Keep You

“Now more than ever, I have learned that, when people die, they truly do live throughout those who love them.”                                  ~Caroline KennedyLet the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty…
