Composed by J. Xandri in 2000, the melody featured in these 6 seconds is an hymn dedicated to Saint Honoratus of Amiens (patron saint of the bakers), worshipped every 16th May in the his chapel at the Basílica of Our Lady of Mercy in the Old Quarter of Barcelona.

According to Claudius Ptolemy, the zodiac equals to 2 octaves of the diatonic scale. Then we can establish a division in 360 microtones, (180-TET)where every grade of the zodiac, and thus every day of the year has its corresponding micro-tone.

For the feast day of Saint Honoratus, 16th May (27º♉︎), the corresponding micro-note is C# -27; so this is the note that the bassline plays in this segment of track.

Then the melody pitch has been shifted 3 semitones upwards in order to make it fit with the bass, specifically in a Lidian mode in order to mantain the maximum harmonic continuity within the context of the full track.

On top of Saint Honoratus' melody, this segment also contains two extra melodies. One is the hymn dedicated to Our Lady of Alta Gracia (composed by E. Ross and O. Robles) being an image of the Virgin Mary that is also present in the same altar at this chapel of this church. The other is the antiphonale chant «Alleluia verbum caro factum est» whose original lyrics contain the words ET HABITAT IN NOBIS that are displayed on the roof over this chapel of this church.

This adaptation, together with the full production, has been carried by Marc O'Callaghan in 2020; and finally mastered by Roc J. de Cisneros in 2021.

The main melody featured in these 6 seconds is an hymn dedicated to Saint Yves (patron saint of the lawyers), composed by M. O'Callaghan in 2020 by putting music to the anonymous and mute verses of a barcelonian song ("Goig") from 1804 dedicated to this saint, worshipped every 19th May in the his chapel at the Basílica of Our Lady of Mercy in the Old Quarter of Barcelona.

According to Claudius Ptolemy, the zodiac equals to 2 octaves of the diatonic scale. Then we can establish a division in 360 microtones, (180-TET)where every grade of the zodiac, and thus every day of the year has its corresponding micro-tone.

For the feast day of Saint Yves, 19th May (30º♉︎), the corresponding micro-note is C# -07; so this is the note that the bassline plays in this segment of track.

Then the melody pitch has been composed to make it fit with the bass in a Mixolidian mode, in order to mantain the maximum harmonic continuity within the context of the full track.

On top of Saint Yves' melody, this segment also contains the antiphonale chant «Ora Pro Nobis Beate» (s. XII) whose original lyrics contain the words UT DIGNI EFFICIAMUR PROMISSIONIBUS that are displayed on the roof over this chapel of this church.

This adaptation, together with the full production, has been carried by Marc O'Callaghan in 2020; and finally mastered by Roc J. de Cisneros in 2021.
