  Agarther....We were discussing "Name of the Rose." Here's a good exert, which includes a scene, introducing the crazy, heretical hunchback, Salvatore....

  The current diplomatic spat between Great Britain (+Australia+America) and FRANCE, is best summed up by this famous Monty Python sketch....😅 Diplomacy with France has always been difficult for we English...And indeed, for the Anglosphere itself, as demonstrated....lol

  In a recent cabinet reshuffle, the renowned UK Minister for Trade; Liz Truss, has been promoted to Foreign Secretary....Since she has made such a good job on global trade, securing multiple bi-lateral trading agreements and also, applied for CPTPP membership, her move to the Foreign office is certainly promising for us...😇
  
  As the UK makes strides in global trade and defense, we see an angry and bitter EU, barking disapproval, like a small dog snapping at our heels...Maybe a French euro-poodle, even...?? 🤔 "sacré bleu....!!"
  
  Truss hails UK's huge deal, after EU backlash against AUKUS...

  I agree, Ivy....A divine masculine aspect.
  
  Moreover, like Jesus himself, the Knights (especially de Molay) represented the 6th ray energies of devotion to the ideal...This theme ran throughout the age of Pisces...The themes of sacrifice, martyrdom, crusader, questing for the illusive (astral) holy grail and many more themes touched upon by the literary works of knight and writer; Wolfram von Eschenbach, who created fictional works based upon true tales of adventure...Mainly to teach the ideals of the age...Noble and knightly that he was.....;-)
  Remember his work, Parzival...??
  
  BTW, did you enjoy my posted Brandenburg concertos...?? ;-)

  yes, the blind monk who was troubled about the Aristotle book and the humour in it, which he thought undermines the faith in authority, great :)

  Splendid....And it does not come as a surprise, as technically, the Templars were an order of monks, albeit, warrior-monks, who crusaded....
  I could never contemplate being a monk myself.....I always think of the film, "Name of the Rose," with Sean Connery.....If I remember rightly, he played a Franchescan friar....and was commissioned by the Benedictine Abbot, to undertake a murder investigation, within the unnamed (in the film) Abbey....
  
  Of course, the inevitable chanting and singing by the monks...That and creeping through back passages, entering a labyrinth and getting lost in it, meeting a crazed hunchback, having sex with a peasant girl and being chased by the "holy" inquisition.
  
  lol 🤔 What fun it must have been in the 15th century...

  listen what bass these men are singing
  the legend is that Knights Templar thwarted an attack because they sang these songs all night and heard the Moslem coming. there is a whole album by ensemble organum with Templar chants

  Another classic by JS Bach - Prelude and fugue in B minor BWV 544 - Organist is Te Lindert of the Netherlands Bach Society....
  Very well played and demonstrates all that is good in a well co-ordinated rendition..A hard piece to play and this lady is superb...impressive..😅
  
  NB:
  Note, starting half-way through this video, is the fugue part of the piece and that part is truly brilliant..my favorite.

  Dear ACC.....Many members speak English as a second language and try so hard to meet the linguistics standards of the language...The site is stipulated as English speaking and I recognize the language as international in scope and use. Very much as Latin was in ancient times. A unifier..In Roman times, the Gaul could speak to the Syrian, in Latin and commerce and learning was made easier..English does this in the modern world...Bringing all together..
  
  Some on ACC may seek to improve their English, especially their British English...
  I'll attach an amusing video, which covers the topic of improving your standards of "posh" English and as some might say; the Queen's English....It's a bit long, so watch if you sincerely seek to glean a few awfully good and spiffing tips...😇
  Cheerio, Drekx
