Alexander Agricola (ca.1460-1525) Credo. Missa Secundi Toni ('Missa Auleni')

I've made some interesting musical discoveries. I've been experimenting a bit with digitally altering the pitches of the parts that I record. I don't know why I've never thought of it before, but what my music has been lacking is a decent bass and high range parts.

This is a Fortuna Desperata by Alexander Agricola. I recorded it in December 2022 for recorder consort (soprano, alto, tenor, and bass recorders)

And here's a version where I overdubbed the original recording with 2 copies, 1 an octave higher, and the other an octave lower.

The difference is astounding. It sounds so much fuller and more orchestral. Almost like an church organ.

It's such a profound effect. I'm definitely going to be doing this more often.

The Birds

Small, Bright, and Lively

Crack Willow and Bluebird in New Mexico by Akseli Gallen-Kallela

The Bluebird

A winged bit of Indian sky Strayed hither from its home on high.

—Alexander Posey

Havstrutar.Great Black-backed Gulls by Bruno Liljefors

A Bird

His haunts are by the brackish ways Where rivers and sea-currents meet; He is familiar with the sprays, Over the stones his flight is fleet. Low, low he flutters, like a rat That scampers up a river-bank; Swift, lizard-like, he scours the flat Where pools are wersh and weeds are dank, The fresh green smell of inland groves, The pureness of the upper air, Are poorer than his pungent coves That hold strange spices everywhere. Strong is the salt of open sea; Far out, the virgin brine is keen: No home is there for such as he, Out of the beach he is not seen. By shallows and capricious foams Are the queer corners he frequents, And in an idle humour roams The borderland of elements. —A. Y. Campbell

Stilleben mit Blaumeise/Still Life with a Blue Tit by Georg Flegel

The Titmouse

If you would happy company win, Dangle a palm-nut from a tree, Idly in green to sway and spin, Its snow-pulped kernel for bait; and see, A nimble titmouse enter in.

Out of earth's vast unknown of air, Out of all summer, from wave to wave, He'll perch, and prank his feathers fair, Jangle a glass-clear wildering stave, And take his commons there —

This tiny son of life; this spright, By momentary Human sought, Plume will his wing in the dappling light, Clash timbrel shrill and gay — And into time's enormous nought, Sweet-fed, will flit away.

—Walter de la Mare

I went to the Museo de Arte Decorativo again and this time I took a good picture of this portrait of Emperor Alexander I and Empress Elizaveta, by Karl Agricola

The inscription under Elizaveta's image reads "Drawn from nature in Bruchsal d. 10 April 1814", while the inscription under Alexander's reads "Drawn from life in Karlsruhe on November 17, 1813".

Since I went less than an hour before the Museum's closing I didn't have much time to take pictures this time, but at least I got a better photo of this one!

Ich bekomme folgende Gedanken "instantan" gesendet: Adalbert Wettiner Sport & Turn Adalbert Stifter Weg - Albert Kaserne Ebersdorf Leipziger Teilung Anno 1485 Ernest und Albert vom Wettiner Ernst Auftheilung des Landes und der Einnahmen aus dem Böhmischen Erzgebirge Sachsen Und Abgabenweiterleitung an die Kaiser Italien Spanien Portugal Egypt. Heute immer noch! Adalberts Dorf Olbersdorf Adelsberg Adalberts Berg Adalberts Adelabertis sind Namen eingewandert aus der Schweiz von Portugal Italien Spanien Egypt zum Kolonien bilden im Osten Europas. Albert Al-bert Ali Alexander bert Berta Bert b-ert ernest Bernest Bernsdorf

Albert Kaserne Ka-serne erne-s ernest Adalbernest Kasernest Albernest Kasernest Die Armee wartet auf Leitungsopfer --Jeder Mensch funktioniert mit seinem Namen und seinen Lebensweisen als leitungsobjekt ---

Wenn ich weiter meine Gedanken daran opfern lassen muss, passiert folgendes mit mir.

Meine bisherigen Lebensweisen werden durch neue Einflüsse geändert, d.h. das Denken und auch Körperbewegungen werden geändert und es entstehen Fehlbewegungen, bisher ungewohnte Bewegungen, was Unfälle und Verletzungen bedeutet!

- Ich würde Krankheiten bekommen und verschlimmerte Lebenszustände. - Das ist genau das, was die BRD mit der Bevölkerung tagtäglich anstellt. Immer neue Kopplungen ins Denken und die Lebensbewegungen. Deswegen die stetigen Verletzungen Unfälle Krankheiten Gebrechen und Sterben.

und: Bergstadt Freiberg - Fabricius Agricola Radioaktive Kleidung TU-Chemnitz TH-Karl-Marx-Stadt SDAG Wismut Sowjet - Das gesamte böhmische Erzgebirge ist ein Steinbruch. Joachimsthal_Der Welt-Dollar aus dem 14.Jhd.

-- Die BRD sucht händeringend stetig neue Menschenmaterial, dass sich auf diese Ankopplungen einlässt, um deren Lebensenergie auszunutzen für Expansion in die Welt. Die Menschen sind Opfer geworden und werden ausgesaugt bis auf's letzte, dann weggeworfen ins Grab.

Blasmusik-Kapellen: Ein Instrument Blasinstrument wie Tuba Trompete Posaune usw.. kostet schon 8000,- EUR. das gibt es Mitglieder in den orts-Musikkapellen, die aus Freizeit dort spielen und soviel Geld ausgeben. Und die Preise für Musikinstrumente werden höher und höer, wir sind bald bei 20.000,- EUR. Die Bewohner der Orte werden Extra zu Sport und Musik geworben, nicht um Kulturvielfalt zu erzeugen, sondern das Ziel ist: Geldeinnahmen. Die Klubmitglieder sollen kaufen! Kaufen teuerste Trachten Kleidung Sport und Musikalien!

Ich bin ja auch Musikbegeistert und spiele selbst mehrere Instrumente. Aber diese Preishorrors mach ich nicht mit.

-Was mit fehlt im gesamten böhmischen Erzgebirge (außer zu DDR Karl-Marx-Stadt Zeiten die Amati-Fabrik Tschechoslowakai und vorher schon mit Bongos) sind die Percussions-Musikinstrumente. Musikalische Percussion, wie Congas Kpanlogos Sambatrommeln usw. Das böhmische Erzgebirge spielt nur Blasmusik und Rock-musik. Im Musikhaus Markstein Hartenstein gibt es fast nur Rock-Ausrüstung für Rocker und Blasmusik. Und die Musikläden in Chemnitz sind fast alle niedergemacht. Sieht dünne aus. Alles wird eingeführt aus dem Ausland und nichts mehr selber produziert und geschaffen. Die Stadt Chemnitz Bezirk Chemnitz das gesamte böhmisch Erzgebirge einschließlich Bergstädte und böhm. Schweiz usw.. sind tote Hose geworden. Die lernen in den Ausbildungen nur noch Verkaufen und Kaufen. Jeglicher praktische Ausbildung und Anwendung wird im Bilduingsfach untersagt! -- Also verkümmert nicht für die BRD zum Käufer: sondern baut und schafft alles selber. da wird das Leben inhaltsreicher und Gesünder. Und unabhängiger!

Ich bekomme irgendwoher Anreize, Personen Worte Bilder Töne" und dann muss ich schreiben und meine Lebenszeit mit schreiben für die BRD versäumen. Das ärgert mich, aber an mir sitzen die BRD-Hebel "insrtantan" und zwingen mich dazu. --> das ist alles ""sonst so"" und noch viel mehr. tsenrE

Fourth Week of the Great Lent: Adoration of Cross. 

THE HOLY 40 MARTYRS MARTYRS AT SEBASTEIA LAKE (320)

In Memory of: Cyrion (or Quirio), Candidus, Domnus, Hesychius, Heraclius, Smaragdus, Eunoicus, Valens, Vivianus, Claudius, Priscus, Theodulus, Eutychius, John, Xanthias, Helianus, Sisinius, Angus, Aetius, Flavius, Acacius, Ecdicius, Lysimachus, Alexander, Elias, Gorgonius, Theophilus, Dometian, Gaius, Leontius, Athanasius, Cyril, Sacerdon, Nicholas, Valerius, Philoctimon, Severian, Chudion, Aglaius,and Meliton

In the year 313 Saint Constantine the Great issued an edict granting Christians religious freedom, and officially recognizing Christianity as equal with paganism under the law. But his co-ruler Licinius was a pagan, and he decided to stamp out Christianity in his part of the Empire. As Licinius prepared his army to fight Constantine, he decided to remove Christians from his army, fearing mutiny.

One of the military commanders of that time in the Armenian city of Sebaste was Agricola, a zealous champion of idolatry. Under his command was a company of forty Cappadocians, brave soldiers who had distinguished themselves in many battles. When these Christian soldiers refused to offer sacrifice to the pagan gods, Agricola locked them up in prison. The soldiers occupied themselves with prayer and psalmody, and during the night they heard a voice saying, “Persevere until the end, then you shall be saved.”

On the following morning, the soldiers were again taken to Agricola. This time the pagan tried flattery. He began to praise their valor, their youth and strength, and once more he urged them to renounce Christ and thereby win themselves the respect and favor of their emperor.

Seven days later, the renowned judge Licius arrived at Sebaste and put the soldiers on trial. The saints steadfastly answered, “Take not only our military insignia, but also our lives, since nothing is more precious to us than Christ God.” Licius then ordered his servants to stone the holy martyrs. But the stones missed the saints and returned to strike those who had thrown them. One stone thrown by Licius hit Agricola in the face, smashing his teeth. The torturers realized that the saints were guarded by some invisible power. In prison, the soldiers spent the night in prayer and again they heard the voice of the Lord comforting them: “He who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live (John 11:25). Be brave and fear not, for you shall obtain imperishable crowns.”

On the following day the judge repeated the interrogation in front of the torturer, but the soldiers remained unyielding.

It was winter, and there was a severe frost. They lined up the holy soldiers, threw them into a lake near the city, and set a guard to prevent them from coming out of the water. In order to break the will of the martyrs, a warm bath-house was set up on the shore. During the first hour of the night, when the cold had become unbearable, one of the soldiers made a dash for the bath-house, but no sooner had he stepped over the threshold, then he fell down dead.

During the third hour of the night, the Lord sent consolation to the martyrs. Suddenly there was light, the ice melted away, and the water in the lake became warm. All the guards were asleep, except for Aglaius, who was keeping watch. Looking at the lake he saw that a radiant crown had appeared over the head of each martyr. Aglaius counted thirty-nine crowns and realized that the soldier who fled had lost his crown.

Aglaius then woke up the other guards, took off his uniform and said to them, “I too am a Christian,” and he joined the martyrs. Standing in the water he prayed, “Lord God, I believe in You, in Whom these soldiers believe. Add me to their number, and make me worthy to suffer with Your servants.” Then a fortieth crown appeared over his head.

In the morning, the torturers saw with surprise that the martyrs were still alive, and their guard Aglaius was glorifying Christ together with them. They led the soldiers out of the water and broke their legs. During this horrible execution the mother of the youngest of the soldiers, Meliton, pleaded with her son to persevere until death.

They put the bodies of the martyrs on a cart and committed them to fire. Young Meliton was still breathing, and they left him on the ground. His mother then picked up her son, and on her own shoulders she carried him behind the cart. When Meliton drew his last breath, his mother put him on the cart with the bodies of his fellow sufferers. The bodies of the saints were tossed in the fire, and their charred bones were thrown into the water, so that Christians would not gather them up.

Three days later the martyrs appeared in a dream to Saint Peter, Bishop of Sebaste, and commanded him to bury their remains. The bishop together with several clergy gathered up the relics of the glorious martyrs by night and buried them with honor.

There is a pious custom of baking “skylarks” (pastries shaped like skylarks) on this day, because people believed that birds sing at this time to announce the arrival of spring. Forty “skylarks” are prepared in honor of the Forty Martyrs.

SAINT CAESARIUS OF NAZIANCE BROTHER OF GREGORY THE THEOLOGIEN (369)

Saint Caesarias lived for a long time at the court of the emperor Constantius (337-361), and was his friend and chief court physician. In the year 368 during the time of an earthquake he miraculously remained alive and was dug out from under the rubble. The saint with all his heart perceived, how the Lord watches over His servants, and how without His will not one hair doth fall from the head of a man. Saint Caesarias left the world and gave himself over completely into the service of God.

ISAIAH 26:21-27:9 

21 For behold, the Lord comes out of His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; The earth will also disclose her blood, And will no more cover her slain.

1 In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong, Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan that twisted serpent; And He will slay the reptile that is in the sea. 2 In that day sing to her, “A vineyard of red wine! 3 I, the Lord, keep it, I water it every moment; Lest any hurt it, I keep it night and day. 4 Fury is not in Me. Who would set briers and thorns Against Me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. 5 Or let him take hold of My strength, That he may make peace with Me; And he shall make peace with Me.” 6 Those who come He shall cause to take root in Jacob; Israel shall blossom and bud, And fill the face of the world with fruit. 7 Has He struck Israel as He struck those who struck him? Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him? 8 In measure, by sending it away, You contended with it. He removes it by His rough wind In the day of the east wind. 9 Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: When he makes all the stones of the altar Like chalk stones that are beaten to dust, Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.

PROVERBS 12:23-13:9 

23 A prudent man conceals knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness. 24 The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy man will be put to forced labor. 25 Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad. 26 The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray. 27 The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting, But diligence is man’s precious possession. 28 In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death.

1 A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. 2 A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth, But the soul of the unfaithful feeds on violence. 3 He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. 4 The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich. 5 A righteous man hates lying, But a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame. 6 Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless, But wickedness overthrows the sinner. 7 There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches. 8 The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, But the poor does not hear rebuke. 9 The light of the righteous rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked shall be extinguished.
