... what you see is the oeuvre of very many people of different times ...
! it seems to me that !
- in the sweat of their faces -
those people were eager to create something for generations to come
!!! something almost everlasting !!!
? what do we, contemporary people, create for generations to come ?
! better don't think about that !
: to see my point :
a
! provocative - downright heretical - question !
? suppose ?
Goldman Sachs Group Inc, Deutsche Bank AG, Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation Holdings Plc and Société Générale SA
would have been consortium leaders in the many centuries lasting endeavour of building these cathedrals
along with McKinsey & Company Inc. as project consultant
________________________________________________________________________________? would you see then what you see ?
I
hardly think
!!! !! so !! !!!
... it seems to me that ...
in contrary to contemporary Western "Christian" societies
people in those days have had more in mind than naked profit
notwithstanding that
(Judaism - Catholicism - Calvinism)
should be regarded as a !!! "core value" !!! in Judaeo-Christian culture
not intentional - maybe - but factual sadly
?auf*richtig* folge*richtig* in Christis Nachfolge <> stock - verstockt - katholisch, armselig versessen !
... Mei (with me)
Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu Dir
Out of the depths I cry, Lord, to Thee
Herr, höre meine Stimme
Lord, hear my voice
lass deine Ohren merken auf
let your ears notice
die Stimme meines Flehens
the voice of my pleading
(Johann Sebastian Bach)
Aus de(r)(n) Tiefe(n) rufe, ich, Herr, zu Dir = Erbarme Dich, Gott, unser aller und meiner
From the depth(s) I, Lord, cry to Thee = Have mercy, Lord, on us all, and on me
Miserere Nobis Deus : Miserere Mei Deus
a kind of thread throughout the millennia / centuries
to show you what I mean see
Cardinal Silvio Valenti Gonzaga
('cause he's a material man - living in a material world')
... regarding matters of earthly (material) richness ...
Lord Christ Jesus' teaching is crystal clear
! however !
>> It is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven <<
_ to substantiate the Lord's stance _
I'd like to draw your attention on the following painting
which might have been titled
"Christ Jesus intervening on Wall Street"
(Luca Giordano)
! connoisseurs of the gospels know !
... it only happened once that ...
showed anger - even aggression
!!! namely when he saw banking and trading on the doorsteps of the temple in Jerusalem !!!
as you can see on another painting which might have been titled
(Valentin de Boulogne)
→ a smashed table "bank" or "counter" - to signify - banker's and trader's blunt insolvency ←
→ banqueroute - bankruptcy - bankrott ←
and yet one more which might have been titled
(Cecco del Caravaggio)
: aka :
the bank is closed - closed is the bank
! forever!
... disdaining worldly possessions ...
himself would
! rotate in his grave !
if he could see the art-loving cardinal along with a bunch of Calvinist courtiers wallowing in their property and possessions that are obviously so dear to them
provided that the former
still
would
be
what
!! according to the testimony of resurrection witnesses was not the case !!
Lacrimosa Dies Illa qua !!! Resurget ex Favilla !!! Judicandus Homo Reus
... in case you have not noticed this yet ...
the
Virtual
. ... ... .... ..... ...... High Mass ...... ..... .... ... .. .
you are encountering is of true ecumenical nature
because
the Cherubim Hymn (here by P. I. Tchaikovsky, Y. S. Sakhnovsky and D.S. Bortniansky)
is the most salient and memorable musical element within the Greek and Russian Orthodox Church
as
the Miserere (Mei / Nobis) (here by J.D. Zelenka, A. Allegri and H. Górecki)
and
the Stabat Mater (here by G.B. Pergolesi)
and
the Lacrimasa (picture: Cupid and Psyche by Antonio Canova) as part of a Requiem (here by W. A. Mozart)
is the most salient and memorable musical element within the Roman Catholic Church
as
the Toccata and Fuge by J. S. Bach
and
Seven Last Words of our Lord Christ the Redeemer (here by J. Haydn -although - Haydn was Roman-Catholic from his cradle to his grave)
is the most salient and memorable musical element within the Protestant Lutheran / Calvinist / Anglican / Presbyterian / Baptist / Methodist Church
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
! a very last remark !
this
bubble is aimed as a kind of
dedication
commemoration
to
↓ ↓ ↓
(impressions of the very beginning .. and .. the very end of a common life on earth)
a humble man without formal education with some usual human weakness well of course
I
! liked my father and my father much liked me !
(lux aeterna as vital part of agnus dei)
!!! although I caused mental distress - almost more than a man can bare !!!
!!!! lacrimosa !!!!
! his passion and fervour throughout his entire life had been !
!!! church music !!!
what admittedly made a deep impress on
me
here
in
creating this magic bubble
he
- my father -
my so heavenly father
guided my hand right from the supposed Heaven
and
since I am blind in that aspect whatsoever
! this is pretty damn remarkable isn't it !
