This is from a YT video I found called Gregorian chant for inner peace. Apologies if I butchered Latin.
Lyrics: Cor vestrum non turbetur,
Ne formidet umbram noctis.
In lumine Dei requiescit anima,
Et in fide manet cor purum.Audi, Domine, preces nostras,
Et infunde pacem in corda hominum. -

I think I saw this on the most recent Red Means Recording on "what makes a good melody", but honestly, it's fascinating

Quote of the day, 11 January: Conrad de Meester, O.C.D.
Profession of
St. Elizabeth of the Trinity
Sunday, 11 January 1903“My Mother, here is the Bridegroom!” (L 155).
After the 8 o’clock Mass, the community, in their white mantles and a large candle in their hands, go up the grand staircase to the chapter room, singing the O gloriosa Virginum (“O glorious Virgin”) to Mary. As a small cell of the Church, the community experiences the profession as a great moment of universal significance, an offering for the universal Church. United in intimacy, it’s also the family that’s going to grow. At the end of the procession, the prioress leads the novice by the hand.
The account of Sister Mary of the Trinity, plainly taken up again in the Memoirs (S 107), introduces us to this supreme act:
“Her profession was still made entirely in faith, but already in peace since her visit with the priest. She tells us that she was taken up by the idea of sacrifice and immolation alone. Especially as she climbed the steps, going up to the chapter room, she was strongly taken, seized by this thought and then told us that she had found her whole state of mind in the day’s reading: ‘Offer your bodies to God as pure, holy and pleasing hosts to God’” (cf. Rom 12:1).
Climbing the stairs reminds Elizabeth of the symbol of the mountain, whether it be Tabor or Calvary—like Abraham going up to the top of the mountain indicated by Yahweh to sacrifice his son Isaac (cf. Gen 22:1-19), like Jesus Christ on his way to the Cross. Each stair-step is a decisive movement towards total self-giving to God, prayer, and sacrifice for the Church.
Detail of the grand, spiral staircase in the ruins of the first Carmelite monastery on Mount Carmel. As a tradition, many monasteries of Carmelite nuns are built to include a monumental, spiral staircase. See the complete photo here.
Image credit: biblewalks.comUpon arriving in the chapter room, the Prioress sits on the left side of the altar. Elizabeth kneels before her. Mother Germaine asks her the same questions as on the day she took the habit. The same answers resound—standard, formulated answers—but with great density, essential expressions of what one is seeking. After Elisabeth has thus sought “the mercy of God, the poverty of the Order and the company of her sisters,” the Prioress reminds her of the demands of the narrow path she is following forever.
Then, with her hands joined in those of the Prioress, Mother Germaine of Jesus, Elizabeth Catez repeated the formula of her profession three times: “I, Sister Mary Elizabeth of the Trinity, make my profession, and I promise chastity, poverty and obedience to God, Our Lord, and to the Blessed Virgin Mary,” in obedience to the superiors “according to the primitive, unmitigated Rule of the Order of Mount Carmel until death.”
Translator’s Note—In English-speaking Discalced Carmelite monasteries, the formula was: I, Sister N. of N., make my solemn profession and I promise obedience, chastity, and poverty to God, to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel, and to you, Rev. Mother Prioress, and to your successors, according to the primitive Rule of the Discalced Carmelites and our Constitutions, until death.
In this very sparse setting, the words resonate…
After the prayers offered by the Prioress, as on the day she took the habit, the newly professed is clothed in her Marian scapular and white mantle to symbolize the new life received from the Risen One. Now she lies on the floor in the form of a cross on the wool carpet decorated with flowers while the community sings the Te Deum. After she has been sprinkled with holy water, a reminder of the water of Baptism, Sister Elizabeth of the Trinity rises, kneels before the Prioress, kisses her hand, embraces her, and goes to kiss all the sisters as they sing Psalm 133, Ecce quam bonum: See how good it will be to live together as true sisters.
On Sunday, 11 January 1903 it was freezing in Dijon. The temperature was -5 (23 F) and a snowstorm would arrive the next day in eastern France. This photo, however, was taken by Sister Geneviève some days after Elizabeth received the black veil on 21 January 1903. The remaining snow from earlier in the month appears in the garden.

See the complete image here.She receives her profession crucifix, on the back of which she has had St. Paul’s words engraved in Latin: “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me” (Gal 2:20). She also receives her copy of the Constitutions of the Order and the Prioress places a crown of flowers on her head, which she wears all day long, she who is Christ’s bride.
During the day’s prayers, she is the one who presides. At meals and evening recreation, she sits between the Prioress and the Sub-Prioress, her place in the refectory being adorned with flowers. The community has “license” today to visit each other, but the newly professed remains in silence, in a prayer of gratitude and love, until the joyful and emotional gathering during the evening recreation.
After Compline, the Prioress removes the crown from Elizabeth who will place it in front of the statue of Our Lady of Grace in the cloister, the Queen of Heaven, of whom she wants to remain more than ever the daughter, the mystical Spouse of Jesus.

@sapiens What a wonderful resource! I enjoyed the short video intro explaining how a database of Latin chants started for academic research has proven useful for art historians, museum curators, choir directors... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMmGrUxhPj4

#CançóDeLaSetmana: Tria sunt munera (cant gregorià)
Mentre esperem que passin els Reis, una proposta gens habitual: cant gregorià arranjat per a veu i viola de roda. A veure què us sembla, jo ho trobo preciós.

@ovro Distraction and focus are something creatives must deal with. Your tuning is fascinating. BTW, #house #trance #progressive work well when I need the cpu cycles in my brain to be #overclocked. When not, I love #Gregorianchant.

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

Let's talk about the Sibyl of the Rhine, a.k.a. Hildegard of Bingen.
Born around 1098, she was crazy enough to push the boundaries of #GregorianChant, not to mention founding her own abbey, creating her own language, and writing theological, botanical, medicinal works, and one of the first musical plays.
🔉 #NowPlaying "O Euchari in Leta Via", featured in episode 9 of season 1 of Hannibal ("Trou Normand").

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...

#GregorianChant notation looks kind of funny. Notes are placed on a 4-line staff, there's a C clef and an F clef, and they have this concept of "nuems", groups of notes to be sung one after the other (remember, two different notes at the same time is one too many).
I found this reference that's pretty easy to read (if not fully complete) for you curiouser folks: http://traditionalcatholic.net/Tradition/Information/Chant_Notation/index.html

#NowPlaying "Alleluia" by the Monks Of The Abbey Of Notre Dame.
You can hear the composer *almost* coming up with the lick, multiple times.

During my extremely unprofessional explorations of #GregorianChant, I learned a new word: #melisma.
> In singing, the term melisma refers to a passage of music that has a group of notes that are sung with just one syllable of text. This is the opposite of syllabic singing, which is singing one note per syllable.
(from https://takelessons.com/blog/2021/02/what-is-melismatic-singing)

Are you chanting along?
Maybe, it's just me. I already feel calmer. I have gotten lots done today with a #GregorianChant in the background. And, I do feel somewhat #Enchanted.
With my language barrier I can't be sure what this one is about. It's short. But, It's beautiful...ზარზმელი ბერების გალობა, შენ უბიწო

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.
