Bach - Vater unser im Himmelreich

Bach - Vater unser im Himmelreich
Johann Sebastian Bach - Vater unser in Himnelreich "Vater unser im Himmelreich" (Our Father in Heaven) is a Lutheran hymn in German by Martin Luther. He wrote the paraphrase of the Lord's Prayer in 1538, corresponding to his explanation of the prayer in his Kleiner Katechismus (Small Catechism). He dedicated one stanza to each of the seven petitions and framed it with an opening and a closing stanza, each stanza in six lines. Luther revised the text several times, as extant manuscript show, concerned to clarify and improve it. He chose and possibly adapted an older anonymous melody, which was possibly associated with secular text, after he had first selected a different one. Other hymn versions of the Lord's Prayer from the 16th and 20th-century have adopted the same tune, known as "Vater unser" and "Old 112th". The hymn was published in Leipzig in 1539 in Valentin Schumann's hymnal Gesangbuch, with a title explaining "The Lord's Prayer briefly expounded and turned into metre". It was likely first published as a broadsheet. The hymn was translated into English in several versions, for example "Our Father, Thou in Heaven Above" by Catherine Winkworth in 1863 and "Our Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth" by Henry J. de Jong in 1982. In the current German hymnal Evangelisches Gesangbuch (EG) it is number 344. For more: https://ift.tt/1hjos7X

How to Play Dialect RPG | How To Game with Becca Scott
Dialect is an RPG about language and how it dies. In this game, you’ll tell the story of the Isolation by building their language. New words will come from the fundamental aspects of the community: who they are, what they believe in, and how they respond to a changing world. Players take away both the story they’ve told and the dialect they’ve built together.

The Funeral of a Great Myth (of Popular Evolution) by C.S. Lewis Doodle

The Funeral of a Great Myth (of Popular Evolution) by C.S. Lewis Doodle
C.S. Lewis on Evolution: This is his academic banquet - a 6 course argument. If you want an enjoyable, but take-away version, see: https://youtu.be/8t0UDoKImBs Notes: (1:17) Lewis echoes a famous Shakespearean phrase “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.” The speech curiously, brilliantly does the opposite and enrages the Roman crowd against Caesar's conspirators. (3:43) There was a drought on one of the Galapagos Islands, it is thought that due to this event the average finch beak size became larger. However, this proved not to be the end of the story. When the drought stopped, average finch beak size became smaller again. (8:03) Wagner's myth: see Lewis’ essay 'The World’s Last Night' for more on this aspect. (9:48) Did atheists search all of creation to find some part of God’s creation where change could be considered "self-improving" & then attribute the whole creation to this process in order to remove God from His own creation? This would be like attributing the iphone not to Steve Jobs or Apple, but to the self-improving AI technology embedded within the iphone's camera function or saying that the process that makes your cousins' family tall or short, is the same process that made humanity. Darwin found one such aspect in animal breeding. Humans have long known (Genesis 31.5-12,38-41) that man can breed certain traits in herds to increase height, fat quantity, or milk capacity & remove defects by slaughtering weak or deformed offspring. He does this by breeding strong animals with the strong, and healthy with the healthy. And this was seen in human reproduction as well. Obvious if you remove the shepherd from breeding, you get a lot more weak animals in the population. Darwin found if you remove man, only a remnant of the animal population will be strong, & the weak and defective will not so easily survive so long or out run predators etc. Here, Darwin found a part of God's creation may result in minor “self-improvement”, & which, he theorised, if expanded exponentially, could explain, not just minor change, but CREATIVE change and brand new function. (12:26) The actual theorem of evolution makes no metaphysical statements, i.e. statements about whether there is a God beyond Nature. (13:56) “Sidereal”(from Latin: ‘stars’) i.e. the distant stars (the constellations or fixed stars, not the sun or planets). (15:05) Molecular Biology has progressed since 1944, they show evolution of even one useful individual DNA protein is so unlikely as to be impossible: “It’s easy to see that the total number of possible sequences is immense. It’s easy to believe (although non-chemists must take their colleagues’ word for it) that the subset of USEFUL sequences—sequences that create real, usable proteins—is, in comparison, tiny. But we must know how immense and how tiny. The total count of possible 150-link chains, where each link is chosen separately from 20 amino acids, is 20 to the power of 150. In other words, many. 20 to the power of 150 roughly equals 10 to the power of 195, & there are only 10 to the power of 80 atoms in the universe” (Giving up Darwin, David Gelernter). (23:30) New Humanist Paul More’s insight into the "enormous error" of secular humanists was that when the religious impulse is replaced by "mere 'brotherhood of man,' fratricide is not far distant." (24:01) "How has it come about that we use the highly emotive word 'stagnation', with all its malodorous & malarial overtones, for what other ages would have called 'permanence'? Why does the word 'primitive' at once suggest to us clumsiness, inefficiency, barbarity?" ('De Descriptione Temporum'). See also the 'Poison of Subjectivism' on the use of the word "stagnation". (29:33) For "the nation", I’ve shown a communist board, which is essentially a violent mob which took undemocratic control of the whole Russian nation, but I could have shown a violent mob of any sort. The contrast in the doodle is between a lawless ‘Minority Violent mob’ & a 'Majority Rule Democracy’ & rule of law. (33:33) "For I take it there are two things the imagination loves to do. It loves to embrace its object completely, to take it in at a single glance & see it as something harmonious, symmetrical & self-explanatory. That is the classical imagination: the Parthenon was built for it. It also loves to lose itself in a labyrinth, to surrender to the inextricable [impossible to disentangle]. That is the romantic imagination: the Orlando Furioso was written for it. But Christian Theology does not cater very well for either" ('Is theology Poetry?').

A note on our interpretation: We wanted to be as literal to the book as possible with this song. In the book, Sam was searching for Frodo in the tower of Cirith Ungol, but couldn't find him. Overcome with frustration and grief, he sank to the floor right beneath where Frodo lay imprisoned. The song starts with Sam singing an old song of Bilbo's from his childhood. He then feels a strange inner strength fill him and he sings his own original song. Frodo hears him singing below and weakly sings along at one point in the song. Sam hears Frodo singing as he stops, but then hears footsteps approaching... We are unable to get permission to sell this song so we are posting it here free for your enjoyment.

Lyrics: Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way In western lands beneath the Sun the flowers may rise in Spring, the trees may bud, the waters run, the merry finches sing. Or there maybe 'tis cloudless night and swaying beeches bear the Elven-stars as jewels white amid their branching hair. Though here at journey's end I lie in darkness buried deep, beyond all towers strong and high, beyond all mountains steep, above all shadows rides the Sun and Stars for ever dwell: I will not say the Day is done, nor bid the Stars farewell.

Get our logo on shirts, mugs, phone cases and more! https://goo.gl/552Hev Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ClamaviDe A note on our interpretation: The song on which this piece is based is taken from Chapter 19 of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion. The chief feature of the piece is the back-and-forth sensation created by the movement from a ‘Sauron’ theme in the beginning to a series of heroic Elven themes and then back to Sauron themes at the end. This back-and-forth movement represents the battle between Sauron, the lieutenant of Morgoth, and Finrod Felagund, the king of the Noldor, shortly before Finrod’s death. The initial Sauron theme, impressing the feel of the dungeons of the Necromancer, is met by determined Elven resistance that is eventually entirely overcome. The poem represents the fall of Finrod to Sauron in many ways, the most obvious of which is Finrod’s losing the battle, a battle, remarkably, of song. It is noteworthy, however, that Finrod is subjugated by Sauron in the tower called Tol-in-Gaurhoth, Island of Werewolves. This tower was built by Finrod himself, who called it Minas Tirith, Tower of Guard, since it was built to guard the pass of the River Sirion, but it was taken by Sauron for Morgoth. This makes it Sauron’s original Dark Tower, acquired by theft and mutilation, a den of wolves and vampires. Sauron’s mutilation of things high and beautiful and Elven is one of the recurring musical features of the piece. Another element of interest is the thought represented by the Elven interludes between the verses of the poem. The words sung are: “Nai hiruvalyë Valimar. Nai elyë hiruva. Namárië! Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva? Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!” These are taken from the famous lament for Valimar sung by Galadriel in Lothlorien in the Fellowship of the Ring. They are translated, first: “Maybe thou shalt find Valimar. Maybe even thou shalt find it. Farewell!” And then, “Who now shall refill the cup for me? Now lost, lost to those from the East is Valimar!” They help to communicate, first, the sensation that Valimar and its power, a power that Finrod invokes in vain one last time, have been lost by the Noldor through the Doom of Mandos, and, second, the link between Finrod and Galadriel, his sister, both at the moment of his fall, and much later, in a different age of the world, in memory.

Artwork by: Michael Howe https://ift.tt/39AC3L6 Please no bad language in the comments. We want this to be family friendly:) Thank you! Lyrics: The Battle of Sauron and Finrod Felagund He chanted a song of wizardry, Of piercing, opening, of treachery, Revealing, uncovering, betraying. Then sudden Felagund there swaying, Sang in a song of staying, Resisting, battling against power, Of secrets kept, strength like a tower, And trust unbroken, freedom, escape; Of changing and shifting shape, Of snares eluded, broken traps, The prison opening, the chain that snaps. Nai hiruvalyë Valimar. Nai elyë hiruva. Namárië! Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva? Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar! Backwards and forwards swayed their song. Reeling foundering, as ever more strong The chanting swelled, Felagund fought, And all the magic and might he brought Of Elvenesse into his words. Softly in the gloom they heard the birds Singing afar in Nargothrond, The sighting of the Sea beyond, Beyond the western world, on sand, On sand of pearls on Elvenland. Nai hiruvalyë Valimar. Rómello vanwa, Valimar! Then in the doom gathered; darkness growing In Valinor, the red blood flowing Beside the Sea, where the Noldor slew The Foamriders, and stealing drew Their white ships with their white sails From lamplit havens. The wind wails, The wolf howls. The ravens flee. The ice mutters in the mouths of the Sea. The captives sad in Angband mourn. Thunder rumbles, the fires burn- And Finrod fell before the throne.
