Mass is the title song of Eric Levi's album Mass in 2003. In order to surpass the classics, a large number of symphonies are used, and Mass, which collides with classical music, pop music and rock music, is magnificent and rich in auditory scenes, giving people infinite reverie.
It is said that the Mass comes from a poem by mana Brana/Bran.
Bran's poems are immortal masterpieces in the history of music. As a kind of writing, Bran's poetry has a long history and profound cultural background. This is a mysterious poem from13rd century, which has been hidden in Bavarian monasteries for centuries. Once made public, it shocked the world. This is the best-preserved medieval poem with the highest artistic value. As if it came from heaven, not from human beings. As a poem, Bran's poems come from 13 to 14 century wandering poets. They were wandering scholars and clergy in medieval England, France and Germany, and they were famous for writing satirical rhymes and poems praising wine, revelry and debauchery. Bran's poetry embodies the creative style of wandering poets. These poems have different themes and styles, including wine songs, solemn love poems and indulgent love songs, religious poems and pastoral lyrics, and satirical poems directed at the church and the government.
Orff was shocked when he read the German translation of Bran's poems on 1935. He gave this strange poem a new and eternal life with rough, powerful and passionate music. Orff's music "Bran Poetry" was completed on 1936, and its overall title is "Bran Poetry, a secular song with instrumental music and wonderful stage scenes for solo and chorus". The lyrics are primitive Latin. Composer Orff gave this strange poem a new and eternal life with his rough, powerful and passionate music. This magnificent musical work premiered in Frankfurt, Germany on 1937. This work has been the most infectious and exciting classic choral work since it came out and left a recording. It is also an important teaching material to test the strength and cooperation ability of conductors, bands and singers.
The following is a translation, which is not accurate.
Oh, fate,
Like the moon
Changeable,
Alternate surplus and deficiency;
Hateful life
Put suffering
Interwoven with happiness;
Rich or poor?
Yu Fu Gui
They all melt and die like ice and snow.
Terrible and nothingness
Wheel of fortune,
You turn around mercilessly,
You're vicious and vicious,
Destroy all happiness
And good expectations,
Shadow over
punch-drunk
You also knocked me down;
Unfortunate arrival
My naked back
Crushed by you mercilessly.
Fate is destroying.
My health
And will,
Strike mercilessly
Cruel oppression,
I've been enslaved all my life.
now
Don't hesitate;
For the most fearless warrior
Also crushed by fate,
Let the strings ring,
Cry with me!
That song, from my heart,
Full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit, full of energy,
Bring me endless strength and hope,
Inspire me to be brave, forge ahead and go all out,
Depression and pain,
Just undulating notes,
Make the whole song more passionate and powerful.
Come on! Demon!
Your existence will be the music of my life
Add more foreshadowing and surprises!
How can a miracle happen without you!
Come on! Frustration!
Without your training,
How can I become a dazzling diamond!
Come on! My weakness!
If I can't see you,
How do I become strong!
Come on! Opponents!
Who am I competing with without your participation?
Without your participation,
How can my potential be aroused!
This movement has just begun. ......
