Diaghilev & Stravinsky: Art Imitates Life

Rite Art — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:30:59 +0000

Taken from both the BBC’s “Riot at the Rite” and Janos Darvas’ 2001 Documentary on Igor Stravinsky, an interesting accuracy as to what transpired between Sergei Diaghilev, owner of The Ballet Russes who would be dancing to the piece, and the composer who would, with this composition, change the direction of classical music at the first playing of the piece. This was 1913 and these men were in their 20′s. Diaghilev’s company of course went on to perform Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring) to this shocking music which was exacerbated further by the incredibly advanced choreography of Vaslav Nijinsky, the Ballet Russes star who would from then on be considered out of his mind when he was merely years ahead of his time. Stravinsky, conversely, emerged a genius. Fatova Mingus.

Fantasia 1940 – The Rite of Spring – Part 1: Genesis

Rite Art — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:25:59 +0000

The Rite of Spring from Disney’s Fantasia. Stravinsky’s omonimous score was supposed to be about primitive human rituals, but Disney’s animators took a completely different inspiration from it and decided to tell the history of Earth up to the extinction of the dinosaurs. The combination of music and animation is perfect. This first part shows the evolution of Earth before the appearance of life. Please comment and rate. Thanks. Update: No creationism vs evolutionism discussions here. You can say what you think in the “IMVHO” form. In any case, this page is about Fantasia, Disney, Animation, Art and how awesome dinosaurs are.

Traditional Latin Nuptial Mass – 1962 Rite Wedding Ceremony – Part 1 of 3

Rite Art — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 06:25:59 +0000

My personal wedding video Part 1 of 3. Tridentine/1962 Extraordinary Form Nuptial Mass. Full Nuptial ceremonial and Missa Cantata following. Note: Version of vows used was the standard “Old English” used in England, Pre-Vatican II. The wording, along with the moving of the wedding ring on every finger was considered by us to be more traditional. It was a personal artistic choice. The choir didn’t have time to get “O Bone Jesu” in during communion and post-communion so Dick Valletta made the call to do it during the Last Gospel. Oh well! He’s the one who studied at Solesmes France so I am not going to question him. No one chants exactly like Dick. You should hear him when he plays a Requiem Mass. The last song sung before the Recessional is a Slovak hymn. My wife was born in Slovakia. Dick did that special for my wife. Poor Fr. Cyprian. We didn’t know if we would even be able to have the wedding because Fr. came down with a terrible stomach/intestinal flu that morning. That’s why his voice isn’t super strong on the video but he’s normally fantastic at chanting. He made it through though! Thank you Fr. Cyprian!

7. Ready for Assembly: Art, Architecture, Furnishings

Overview of Chapter 7 of Fr. Anthony Cekada’s Work of Human Hands: A Theological Critique of the Mass of Paul VI. www.philotheapress.com ($24.95 + shipping) â€¢ Why do so many churches built for the Mass of Paul VI look so “un-churchy”? â€¢ Why does the priest face the people now for Mass? â€¢ Why did the tabernacle disappear? â€¢ Why are there so few statues and images? The answer isn’t fads or bad taste. It’s bad theology â€” specifically the modernist theology of the Mass as assembly. Naturally, understanding the Mass primarily as an assembly supper rather that as a sacrifice offered to God will have a profound influence on the externals of the rite. Chapter Seven of Work of Human Hands examines how assembly theology affected the new legislation governing the externals of the Mass of Paul VI â€” church architecture, the altar, the tabernacle and the rest. If the last Catholic church you were in looked like a food court or a Pizza Hut on the inside, you’ll find the explanation here. ———- “Thoroughly researched and eminently readable… marshals an impressive array of evidence… excellent… a thorough scholar.” â€” Dr. Stephen McInerny Campion College, NSW Oriens Journal www.doctrinaliturgica.com

Art – Painting Dinosaurs

Rite Art — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 06:15:59 +0000

Artists love the grotesque, and dinosaurs certainly fit that description. Also, since we know so little about living dinosaurs I(what color were they? Did they have feathers or scales?), the artist is allowed to use his imagination. We could do many more of these, separating them into specific dinosaur types, if they prove popular enoufgh. Be sure to watch the final portion of the video, dealing with the extinction of dinosaurs. Extinction theories have provoked some strong art. Music is Igor Stravinsky’s “Le sacre du printemps” (or “Rite of Spring”), which has been used many times for the early evolution of the Earth, including Disney’s first Fantasia. Because Stravinsky’s piece is over 36 minutes long, I’ve worked with just the first 10-and-a-half minutes to match the art. The video is over when you reach the word “Extinction.”
