Donald Macleod explores the early years in Benjamin Britten's creative storyBenjamin Britten was one of the most influential British composers of the 20th century, with celebrated works such as 'Peter Grimes', 'Friday Afternoons' or 'A Simple Symphony'. Music infused his very first moments in life and he started to develop his musical instincts from a very early age. Many of his future masterpieces can be traced back to the inspiration of his youth. This week, Donald Macleod explores these crucial early years in Britten's creative story, from his birth under the star of St Cecilia to his departure for America at 25 years old.Music featured:Hymn to St Cecilia, Op 27 Four Sea Interludes, Op 33a (from 'Peter Grimes') A Charm of Lullabies, Op 41 (arr for voice and orchestra by Colin Matthews) Five Waltzes Beware!

In deze aflevering van Kalm met Klassiek binnen het thema 'Heiligen' draait het om Sint-Cecilia. Zij wordt gezien als de beschermheilige van de muziek. Componisten droegen dan ook dankbaar muziek aan haar op. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de 'Ode for St Cecilia's Day' die Georg Friedrich Händel componeerde. In een aria uit dit grotere werk komt de kracht van muziek mooi naar voren. 'What passion cannot music raise and quel!' Laat dit lied ook nog eens heerlijk rustgevend zijn...

The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org
Friends of the Rosary, Today, November 22, we celebrate the Memorial of St. Cecilia, a virgin and martyr, one of the most venerated of Roman saints. Her martyrdom probably occurred during the reign of Emperor Alexander Severus, about the year 230. In 1599, her grave was opened, and her body was found incorrupt in a cypress wood coffin. Cecilia led a life of prayer and meditation. She had vowed lifelong virginity, but a youth named Valerian, relying upon the approval of her parents, hoped to marry her. When the wedding night arrived, she told Valerian, "There is a secret, Valerian, I wish to tell you. I have as a lover an angel of God who jealously guards my body." Valerian promised to believe in Christ if he could see that angel. Cecilia explained how such was impossible without baptism, and Valerian consented to be baptized. After he was baptized by Pope Urban and returned, he found Cecilia in her little room, lost in prayer, and next to her, the angel of the Lord was standing. Since the Middle Ages, Cecilia has been honored as patroness of Church music. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. Cecilia, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • November 22, 2024, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.Tunc simile erit regnum caelorum decem virginibus : quae accipientes lampades suas exierunt obviam sponso et sponsae. 2 And five of them were foolish, and five wise.Quinque autem ex eis erant fatuae, et quinque prudentes : 3 But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them:sed quinque fatuae, acceptis lampadibus, non sumpserunt oleum secum : 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in vasis suis cum lampadibus. 5 And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.Moram autem faciente sponso, dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him.Media autem nocte clamor factus est : Ecce sponsus venit, exite obviam ei. 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.Tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illae, et ornaverunt lampades suas. 8 And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.Fatuae autem sapientibus dixerunt : Date nobis de oleo vestro, quia lampades nostrae extinguuntur. 9 The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.Responderunt prudentes, dicentes : Ne forte non sufficiat nobis, et vobis, ite potius ad vendentes, et emite vobis. 10 Now whilst they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.Dum autem irent emere, venit sponsus : et quae paratae erant, intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias, et clausa est janua. 11 But at last come also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.Novissime vero veniunt et reliquae virgines, dicentes : Domine, domine, aperi nobis. 12 But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.At ille respondens, ait : Amen dico vobis, nescio vos. 13 Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.Vigilate itaque, quia nescitis diem, neque horam St Ceclia (or Cecily), of an illustrious Roman family, converted her husband, Valerianus, and her brother-in-law Tibertius, preserved her virginity, and was beheaded during the pontificate of St Urban I A.D. 230.

Idag får du vara med i ett samtal med författaren Cecilia Ekhem som har givit ut tre relationsromaner, en barnbok (9-12) och 2024 har hon två boksläpp till av barnböcker på gång! Avsnittstemat är att tackla utmaningar i skrivandet - både fysiska och psykiska. Alla vi som skriver behöver hantera utmaningar av olika karaktär, förr eller senare. Och jag kan lova att Cecilia är en stor inspirationskälla särskilt på detta område. Hon har nämligen skrivit sina böcker genom att producera mellan fem och åtta rader om dagen på grund av de begränsningar som sjukdomen ME sätter. Med stor envishet, klokhet samt lusten och glädjen i skrivandet har gjort att Cecilia har hittat sitt sätt för att göra det hon vill. Podden görs av författarna Stina Flodén och Anneli Olsson. Stina har skrivit Nu dör vi och Släpp mig fri, i Camilla Stensjö-serien. Anneli har gett ut Alva Bergman-serien (Fritt fall, Stormsteg och Solkurvor), romanen Tända stjärnor och skriver nu sin första fackbok och på sitt femte romanmanus. Stina och Anneli hittar du på Instagram: stina.floden och forfattaranneli och i Facebookgruppen "Podden skrivvänner". www.stinafloden.com www.forfattaranneli.se

Friends of the Rosary: Yesterday, we reflected on the Feast of the Presentation of Mary, marking an early commencement of the Advent season. The Universal Church of Christ inaugurates its new liturgical year on the first Sunday of December. Advent points us both toward Christ's Second Coming in glory at the end of time and also toward Christmas, the celebration of His first coming. Advent urges us to stay awake and vigilant, and and prepare for that great Day of the Lord. It's also an invitation to recognize His presence already with us while building together the Kingdom of Heaven. Our salvation is achieved in the community by exercising the grace of faith.

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.Tunc simile erit regnum caelorum decem virginibus : quae accipientes lampades suas exierunt obviam sponso et sponsae. 2 And five of them were foolish, and five wise.Quinque autem ex eis erant fatuae, et quinque prudentes : 3 But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them:sed quinque fatuae, acceptis lampadibus, non sumpserunt oleum secum : 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in vasis suis cum lampadibus. 5 And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.Moram autem faciente sponso, dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him.Media autem nocte clamor factus est : Ecce sponsus venit, exite obviam ei. 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.Tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illae, et ornaverunt lampades suas. 8 And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.Fatuae autem sapientibus dixerunt : Date nobis de oleo vestro, quia lampades nostrae extinguuntur. 9 The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.Responderunt prudentes, dicentes : Ne forte non sufficiat nobis, et vobis, ite potius ad vendentes, et emite vobis. 10 Now whilst they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.Dum autem irent emere, venit sponsus : et quae paratae erant, intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias, et clausa est janua. 11 But at last come also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.Novissime vero veniunt et reliquae virgines, dicentes : Domine, domine, aperi nobis. 12 But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.At ille respondens, ait : Amen dico vobis, nescio vos. 13 Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.Vigilate itaque, quia nescitis diem, neque horam. St Cecilia, (or Cecily), of an illustrious Roman family, converted her husband, Valerianus, and her brother-in-law Tibertius, preserved her virginity, and was beheaded during the pontificate of St Urban I A.D. 230.

Friends of the Rosary: Today, we celebrate the Memorial of St. Cecilia, a virgin and martyr in the 3rd century. St. Cecilia is one of the most famous and venerated Roman saints. Cecilia led a life of prayer and meditation. She was a witness of purity and praise, an example of a life lived in the world but not of the world, and of fidelity to Christ that is not afraid even of death. In 1599 her grave was opened and her body was found in a coffin of cypress wood. It lay incorrupt. Since the Middle Ages, Cecilia has been honored as the patron of Church music. Ave Maria!
