You might call it a hymn, or a song. For me, it’s a song. The music was not originally written for the organ, but for guitar and drum, and keyboard / piano, most likely in that sequence of primacy of musical instruments. That does not mean it should be played…
The news about Voyager 1 passing Ultima Thule is fascinating. It’s beyond my capacity to understand the “how” of operating such an aircraft to pass precisely that point. I recall a hymn that might be familiar to some, it has ‘earth’ in its title, first word: Earth, Rejoice, our Lord is King!. The…
Continuing from … previously All of us exist in multiple social circles, and in each we might behave slightly differently, uphold a different set of cultural norms etc. Even we don’t come across these circles for a very very long time (eg in decades of solitary confinement), we think of…
