Music by Dimitri Arnauts


To dear Russia,

To my vast and colourful land
Patchwork of people
Cluster of faiths sincere
Beacon of hope at its best
Torch of fear at its worst

Russia, that suffered since ages
By an unspeakable tragedy
Whispered or cried about
That was blessed since ages
By a blissful divine light

To its leaders and its guides,
To its artists and thinkers,
To its workers and peasants,
To its soldiers and mourning ones,
To its mothers and fathers,
To its sons and daughters.

May they never forget
The voice of their brothers
Alive, dying or gone away

Crying from their soil
Fallen as heroes
Murdered as prisoners
Slaves unfree from slavery

Believers scorned and bruised
By the horns of Evil
By the might of Lucre

Crying from distant shores
Exiled from terrors
Fleeing old furores
Butt loving still the shores
Of seas and rivers dears
Where their ancestors lived

I know your warm hearts
I long for your smiles
I love your kind soul
I am in awe for your faith
I fear for our souls
I fear for our lives

Please, do not forget
The price paid to forgetting
When strength become violence
When defence become vengeance
When service becomes slavery
When faith reverts to ideology

You are faithful people
You are courageous people
You are servants of God
And heirs to His promises

Please, leader of Russia !
Do not let yourself by pushed
Into a heart of steel
Into a soul of fire
Into a mind of vengeance
This would be Satan's victory

As you walked and desired
To come and stay closer to God
The One who blesses you

Do not let in the temptation of Evil
That lurks the powerful
That swamps the creative
That kills the powerless
That darkens the soul
That lowers your joy
That aborts your future

But it has two sides
One from the outside
Easier to condemn and fight
One from the inside
Heavier to refrain and overcome

I have no right nor dignity
To lecture lessons
I have no light or purity
To offer answers

I just pray the Russian people
The People of Russia
Will not suffer again
Unspeakable tragedies

Wil not cause to suffer
Unneeded tears closing eyes
Unwanted graveyards lining the fields
Any more further or longer

Alexander's empire did not last
Alexander's words still have:

"Men had forgotten God;
that is why all this has happened.

One word of truth
outweighs the world.
   
Let the lie
come into the world,
let it even triumph.
But not through me."*

Pro Memoria Prelude

CONCERT PART I / PRO MEMORIA PRELUDE

Prayer for Peace across the whole Rus

A symphonic poem on the note=letter melodies: ‘RUS’ & ‘MIR’ - Nation and Peace...

I share again the People of the World's prayers and hope for the return of peace, relief, safe return, reparation and reconciliation - if once possible, in all of Ukraine ! - and if once this dream could happen: between the whole West and East of the shattered and divided Christian world.

I wish to Mr. President Volodymyr Zelensky and to Mr. President Vladimir Putin - or to any Ukrainian or Russian - no other victory than that of peace, penance, reparation and hopefully reconciliation between brothers separated by Evil, when time will perhaps have softened the pain and grief for lost brothers, children, fathers, uncles, mothers, elders.

You were starved and persecuted by the Evil of Bolshevism
You were annihilated and exiled by the Evil of Nazism
You were scourged and oppressed by the Evil of Tyranny
You were wounded and bruised by the Evil of Apostasy
You are now bleeding and dying by the Evil of Greed and War

What has opposed you, has always been Evil

What has united you, and could unite you again, can only be Goodness, Faith, Sanctity and Mercy

May Saint Michael and Saint George protect, defend and save the Ukrainian and Russian people from the snares of Evil and from the Scourge of War.

PSAUME 27 - Pour Rosh Ha-Shana 2024, à nos frères Juifs.

De David. 

1 L'Éternel est ma lumière et mon salut: De qui aurais-je crainte? L'Éternel est le soutien de ma vie: De qui aurais-je peur?

2 Quand des méchants s'avancent contre moi, Pour dévorer ma chair, Ce sont mes persécuteurs et mes ennemis Qui chancellent et tombent.

3 Si une armée se campait contre moi, Mon coeur n'aurait aucune crainte; Si une guerre s'élevait contre moi, Je serais malgré cela plein de confiance.

4 Je demande à l'Éternel une chose, que je désire ardemment: Je voudrais habiter toute ma vie dans la maison de l'Éternel, Pour contempler la magnificence de l'Éternel Et pour admirer son temple.

5 Car il me protégera dans son tabernacle au jour du malheur, Il me cachera sous l'abri de sa tente; Il m'élèvera sur un rocher.
...


Fleur de Lumière

Je te chante, 
Mon pays aimé
Toi dont les cimes
Désirent la paix

Je te dis un rêve
Un songe d’enfant
Descendu d’en-haut
Verser son sang

Je vis un rocher
Dur tel un trône
Fendu par l’éclair,
Le cri d’un pauvre

Et l’eau en jaillit
Intimant aux flammes
La trêve de Dieu
Amour sans fin

Le flot descendit 
De vallée en plaine
Vers les cités humaines
Éteignant les pleurs

D’un bout du ciel
À l’autre couchant
On vit naître là
Une fleur de lumière

Elle frappait les cœurs
Brisait les forts
Confondait l’esprit
Chassait le mal

Montagnes d’Alborz
Du Cèdre, de Sion
Avez-vous reconnu
Le parfum de cette fleur ?

C’est l’aube du Messie
La grande Reverdie
Pétales de la Loi
Donnée aux Prophètes

Ses rameaux chantent
Le retour du Roi
Et par la Grande Porte
La Paix entrera

Voilà tout mon chant
Mes vers de poète
J’ai déjà trop oublié
Qui me les a donnés

Je vous chante,
Collines, monts, vallées
L’espoir qui naîtra
Du cœur de la fleur

Je te chante, 
Mon pays aimé
Toi dont les abîmes
Désirent la paix

Psaume 27 - Le Seigneur est ma Lumière et mon Salut (Choeur)

KYRIE SENZA VOCE for Pope Francis

An die Friede ! Pax Christi ! Mir ! Dona Nobis Pacem !

In honorem Papa Leo XIV - May the love of God and of one another lead us into peace and reconciliation... and may the Lord's glorious light lead the way - as the reigning sun above the mountains of the Andes - unto this divinely ordained  path of conversion, forgiveness, reparation and penance.

Music written on the letter-notes of the new Pope's name, his ancient civil name, the name of his Peruvian diocese, and on the word Peace in several languages (latin, greek, Russian ,etc..)

Two traditional Inca flutes are intertwining the main melodies, as an echo of the Peruvian shepherd songs sounding through the Altiplano...

SALAM - INSTRUMENTALIS

To the Esteemed President of the United States of America, Mr Donald J. Trump
To the Esteemed President of the Russian Federation, Mr Vladimir Putin


Ten days

Ten days are not enough
To empty the oceans 
Of toil, tears, and blood
Carved bare and rough
Into peoples’ nations
Tainting fields’ mud ?

But ten days are good
To unfold balled fists
Into the open hands
Usher a noble mood
To clear out the lists
Of feuds between lands

It does not matter who 
Is Jacob, and who Esau
For it is Abel’s cry
Unto us, Cain’s foe
That in this morning glow
Refuses to go die

Has God himself to bow
To His Earth in pains
Chastising the violent ?
Or will this dawn’s glow
Hear that peace remains
Our aim benevolent ?

I am a poor fool lone
Grasping David’s harp
To soften hearts angry:
By these chants alone
Will no sword unsharp,
But words are less hungry

So, pleased be God
Peoples, poets and mothers
And may a table be set
At a look, at your nod
To welcome sides, others
And us alive be let

Technotropic Music : the March of Jacob Mourning

TECHNOTROPE I / Jacob's Lament

A sad march and wailing song for the bruised dignity and wounded integrity of the people and the youth of Thailand.

Tears for Siam

O rich man,
Weep upon your faults,
Your immense sin

For if the All-Wise
At the foot 
of the Banyan tree
Still lets flow
His golden tears
At the world’s feet 
You who are rich
Who descend 
from the heavens
Will you not weep
For a time, with me?

For Siam weeps
Her cheeks worn
By smiles
Tears, sorrow

Her flower plucked 
from the rocks
Plucked before dawn
Her fruit from the palm tree
Still green, 
trampled to the ground

And the river rolls on
Telling of her people
To the weeping heavens
Counting her tears
Friends and guests
Of her gentle banks

And if the sun
The joy of the days
The laughter of newcomers
Finally granted
Returns to families
Shines as before
Her gold is that
Of God's tears

O wounded face
From tears, 
from clashes
From hours of misfortune
Will you forgive me
My gaze
My forgetfulness?

You too then,
O rich man,
Bow your head
And weep, bitter,
Weep for your faults,
Your immense sin

.

Pleurs pour Siam


O Homme riche,
Pleure tes fautes,
Ton pêché immense

Car si le Très-Sage
Au pied du Banian
Laisse encore couler
Au pied du monde
Ses larmes dorées 
pour le pauvre
Toi qui es riche
Qui descends des ciels
Ne pleureras-tu pas
Un temps, avec moi?

Car Siam pleure
Ses joues usées
Par les sourires
Les larmes, la peine

Sa fleur des rochers
Avant l’aube arrachée
Son fruit du palmier
Encore vert, foulé à terre

Et le fleuve roule
Contant son peuple
Aux cieux pleurants 
Comptant ses larmes
Amies et hôtes
De ses rives douces

Et si le soleil
La joie des jours 
Le rire des venants
Enfin accordés
Rapportés aux parents
Brille comme avant
Son or est celui
Des larmes de Dieu

O face rougie
De pleurs, de heurts
Des heures de malheur
Me pardonneras-tu
Mon regard 
Mon oubli?

Toi aussi alors,
O Homme riche,
Baisse la tête
Et pleure, amer,
Pleure tes fautes,
Ton pêché immense
