Old-time musicians

As the dozen or so electric lights with the brightest lighting were taken down, the entire "semi-open-air" bandstand returned to a state of darkness.

When the clergy on the stage shouted the announcement, the civilians and soldiers who had crowded together to watch the performance began to squirm and separate. Some people hurriedly returned to their production jobs to make up for the work they had missed due to fighting or avoiding air raids during the day. Others lined up in long lines in the aisles with warning strips according to the "musical instrument registration" arrangement. .

According to the current price, "3 pence" or "1 pence" is no longer enough to fill an adult's stomach for a day, but it can be exchanged for a musical instrument, a set of tutorials, and a series of games in the already almost withered entertainment life. With all the opportunities to 'catch up' with regular public sessions by the best of country musicians and buskers, it's simply unimaginable.

And the clergyman's final "an important announcement" three times in a row attracted everyone's attention.

"Confession?"

"Does Bishop Lavoisier do the confession himself?"

Based on the different emphasis on the purpose of the sacrament, the original sacrament of Penance was subdivided into many other names: the Sacrament of Penance, the Sacrament of Conversion, the Sacrament of Confession, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Those who want to confess do not necessarily have to bear the burden of the sacrament. The serious sins that need to be repented may be minor sins committed, blasphemous thoughts in the mind, or physical and mental doubts and pain, grudges and disputes with relatives and friends. Of course, no matter what it is, the words of the priest can be used. Talking to the Holy Spirit and relieving depression are both "holy things" and "comforting things".

In the entire clergy hierarchy of Holy Sun Church, the lowest person qualified to perform the sacrament of confession is a priest.

On weekdays, such an opportunity is already relatively precious, and can only be arranged once every few months. When a bishop is in charge, it is something that only comes once in several years and needs to be fought for.

And now, it’s Bishop Lavoisier!

Bishop Lavoisier personally listened to the worries and answered questions!

I am afraid that in the minds of many people, it is difficult to distinguish between this and the significance of the Pope’s personal visit! It’s something you may not encounter once in your life!

"Two days feels like a long time, but in fact, with so many believers and extremely limited opportunities, is this a blessing that ordinary civilians can also receive!?"

Everyone was watching in suspense, and even the people queuing up to apply for musical instruments were asking each other in low voices about their doubts.

"Mr. Father, what do you think of Mr. Fan Ning's "Choral Fantasia" in C minor, which I recommend to be performed tonight?" asked Luo Yin, who had retreated under the church pillars.

"I think Miss Luo Yin means it." Fan Ning expressed her approval.

"Of course, I love this song very much."

The girl next to her smiled again after hearing this, and turned her face slightly to one side.

It seemed that there was another suitable opportunity to inquire. Her eyes followed the bishop and looked at the crowded people in the distance, and her mind began to secretly move again.

A suitable opportunity to make insinuations. At the same moment, Fan Ning's mind turned a little faster, and he spoke loudly, as if chatting without leaving a trace:

"After the confession is completed two days from tomorrow, I will leave Janus and go all the way south. Marquis MacAdam is visiting the Holy City this time to conduct a 'modern music seminar' with our church. It is disrespectful to wait too late. Please Miss Luo Yin will convey this on your behalf."

"Ah? Modern music seminar?" Luo Yin smiled doubtfully, "Father, will he come to Janus in a few days?"

"It's a secret to others, but Miss Luo Yin hasn't heard about it either?" Fan Ning glanced at her.

"No one really told me the specific schedule of this seminar. However, recently our school has indeed been encouraging musicians to try to conduct 'technical research in the post-impressionist era', such as atonal music and the like. Yes! I remember it was Aunt Hermosa who made this suggestion."

Luo Yin suddenly had an impression after recalling it. He turned to the old lady next to him and asked: "Aunt, do you know that dad is coming to Janus soon?"

"I know." Hermosa nodded, "This is a secret seminar attended by only a few high-level leaders of schools and churches, as well as a few representatives of academic and church musicians. Because the Marquis didn't call you, I You are not the arbiter of making changes to the scope of the personnel involved, but since you are the eldest lady of the school, now that Father Lavoisier has mentioned it, it is not an important mistake. "

The discerner made eye contact with Fan Ning, who was standing across from him: "Your Excellency, the Bishop, is a master of writing about medieval styles and religious genres. I never expected that he would also pay attention to the creation of these avant-garde music."

"I think it's good." Fan Ning commented thoughtfully, "Artistic matters also need to be raised higher. These people carrying lamps to explore the dark places ahead are paying tribute to the 'candle' The secret of his inspiration can be regarded as sacred. Such expressions as "twelve-note sequence", "expressionist trend", "limited shift mode" and "mysterious chord system" have been truly precipitated and purified. , and will leave behind something worth highlighting.”

"Your Excellency, the Bishop, attaches great importance to tradition and cares about innovation. This kind of philosophy and character are rare in the world." Hermosa moved the corners of her mouth and praised with a smile that caused the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes.

"I'll go up and have a rest. Best wishes." Fan Ning stopped chatting and without looking at Luo Yin again, he walked into the dark church with his hands behind his hands.

"Good night, Mr. Father." Luo Yin saluted calmly.

But what Father Lavoisier said just now suddenly aroused the sense of vigilance in her heart!

Mysterious chords! ?

She remembered clearly what Mr. Fan Ning said when he used Lianmeng to contact everyone.

——If one day you find out in the music industry that there is a tendency to use "mysterious chords" in any style, genre, work or theory, tell him as soon as possible! Because this thing is related to Mr. F! The "mysterious chords" implanted in the fragmentary notes were also created by Mr. F!

It doesn’t matter if it really shows up now.

It actually appeared in his own school! ?

Moreover, the original suggestion was Aunt Hermosa, and the initiator of this secret seminar was my father! ?

Recalling the details of getting along with each other after coming to Janus, she really didn't find anything unusual.

Bishop Lavoisier mentioned this point in his words, most of which were "say what you have to say", unintentionally bumping into his own intention.

But Luo Yin believes that Fan Ning's judgment will definitely not be wrong!

"Aunt, I'm going to say hello to a few more priests, and then we can go back and rest first." She pointed to the distance.

Under the gas lamp there, stood another group of figures who had moved over after the performance.

Including Priest Jacob of Tocharan Diocese, Priest Duerke of Laubken Diocese, and the acting priest of Hedgewell War Zone Church, as well as several other deacons and deacons, they are planning to confess in the next two days. Arrange the details of the matter.

"Go. That seminar is of great significance. It is normal to organize a second and third seminar in the future. Now that Bishop Lavoisier has informed you, I will discuss with the Marquis whether you need to participate." He Moosa lowered his eyelids.

"good!"

Luo Yin's heart tightened, and he responded obediently. He walked forward as if nothing had happened and walked towards the priests at a leisurely pace. When he got there, he finally lowered his voice and said:

"Mr. Durk, regarding the confession that will begin tomorrow, I would like to ask you to ask me something."
