Der dritte Sonntag: Gaudete! – Freut Euch!
Der dritte Sonntag im Advent unterscheidet sich schon farblich von den anderen. Statt Violett kann der Priester an diesem Tag die liturgische Farbe Rosa als aufgehelltes Violett tragen. Einige Menschen haben an ihrem Adventskranz auch für den 3. Advent eine rosa Kerze. Dieser Brauch ist vor allem in Irland und England beliebt. Vielen ist dieser Sonntag auch unter dem Namen "Gaudete" (lateinisch "Freut Euch!") bekannt. Das kommt aus dem Eingangsgesang, der es in sich hat: "Gaudete in Domino semper!" – " Freut euch im Herrn allezeit!" Dieser Vers aus dem Philipperbrief sagt: Der Herr ist nahe, es dauert nicht mehr lange. Der Imperativ verstärkt die Intention.

Am vergangenen zweiten Sonntag im Advent ging es umdie harsche Umkehrpredigt des Johannes. Heute erfahren die Gläubigen, wie Jesus über ihn denkt. Im Evangelium nach Matthäus (Mt 1t, 2-11) geht es an diesem Tag noch einmal um Johannes den Täufer, der die Menschen auf die Ankunft des Messias vorbereiten soll. Meist wird es so verstanden, dass Johannes im Gefängnis Zweifel ander Messianität Jesu kommen. Entspricht Jesus nicht seinen Erwartungen, ist er ihm zu zurückhaltend? Möglich ist aber auch die um-gekehrte Sicht: Johannes hört vom Auftreten Jesu und fragt sich, ob er vielleicht „der Kommende“ ist.

The third Sunday: Gaudete! - Rejoice!
The third Sunday in Advent differs from the others in terms of color. Instead of violet, the priest can wear the liturgical color pink as a brightened violet on this day. Some people also have a pink candle on their Advent wreath for the third Sunday of Advent. This custom is particularly popular in Ireland and England. Many people also know this Sunday by the name "Gaudete" (Latin for "Rejoice!"). This comes from the opening hymn, which has it all: "Gaudete in Domino semper!" - " Rejoice in the Lord always!" This verse from Philippians says: The Lord is near, it won't be long now. The imperative reinforces the intention.

Last second Sunday in Advent was about John's harsh sermon on repentance. Today, believers learn what Jesus thinks about him. On this day, the Gospel according to Matthew (Mt 1t, 2-11) is once again about John the Baptist, who is supposed to prepare people for the arrival of the Messiah. It is usually understood that John has doubts about the Messiahship of Jesus while in prison. Does Jesus not meet his expectations, is he too reserved? However, the opposite view is also possible: John hears about Jesus' appearance and wonders whether he is perhaps "the coming one".

If you use AI in any form to create "your music", don't bother with my profile, you are not welcome here.
AI music generation detector: https://www.submithub.com/ai-song-checker
I do not support the use of generative AI in music creation. I will not support people who use such technologies nor will I use them. The two songs I posted only serve to raise awareness of the existence of such technologies and as a warning.

At the beginning I would like to sincerely apologize that I am responding to comments late and I am sometimes unable to keep up with listening to your work, but I still work full-time in a profession that has absolutely nothing to do with music and I have my duties towards family and home.

To everyone who flew into my corner on SoundCloud: I am grateful for your support with likes, shares and thank you for the great comments. Please don't hesitate to suggest changes to my music in them. Thanks to this, the next songs will be better and better.

All my music is MIDI (except some drum loops), played/created by me and edited in Ableton Live.

---------------------------

Born in 1970. Music fan since 1985. Now heaving fun with making music. I'm self-taught, playing everything by ear. Started in 1990's but due to certain circumstances left in 1998 until April 2022. My music is created in Ableton Live 11 Intro (until december 2022) and 11 Standard with mostly free plug-ins. Fan of soundtracks (my personal heros are John Williams, Clint Mansell, Philip Glass, Thomas Newman, Hans Zimmer and much more), world music (Dead Can Dance), chillout (Bent, Zero7, Groove Armada, St. Germain, Air, Röyksopp, Kosheen and more), trip-hop (Massive Attack, Portishead), acid jazz (Us 3), fusion (Pat Metheny Group, Dirty Loops), progressive rock (Porcupine Tree), classical (Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Debussy, Orff, Mussorgsky) electronica (Imogen Heap), IDM/House (Moderat, Apparat, Plaid) and electronic music (Vangelis, Kraftwerk, Isao Tomita, Marek Biliński, J.J. Jarre).

Still learning how to produce music.

Welcome to my page.

I appreciate all the comments, likes and repost that you leave me in my compositions.

I make music for fun and to get away. I have multiple styles, although my biggest influence is in electronic music.

I am self taught and learned with Music Studio 2 on a first generation ipad 11 years ago. I have never composed before. Perform more than 80 songs a year for the first 6-7 years to learn about the program and develop creativity to compose. I have listened to different types of music throughout my life and maybe that has helped me.

I still compose only with an ipad (last generation), but I no longer work only with native MS2 instruments since I have expanded my instrument library with programs such as Audiokit, Digital D1, kv331, Sunrizer, etc ...

My music can be downloaded, but not used for commercial purposes (my authorization is required).

During the last two years I have encouraged myself to collaborate with professional or self-taught musicians like me. Are these:

Annie Smart

Dan DT

Loue ghazi

Lukowig

Mirjam Keijnemans

Nathalie B20

Subzero

Vicent

Winkanwoo

Wypernet

Thanks to them for their generous timeshare and patience.

You can contact me by sending me a message through SC.

Thanks for visiting.

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.

Thanks for your musical curiosity. Art and beauty build peace and love.
