Composed by A. Català in 1957, the melody featured in these 6 seconds is an hymn dedicated to Saint Rita of Cassia (patron saint of the impossible causes), worshipped every 22th May at the Church of Saint Augustine 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 Rita, 22th May (2º♊︎), the corresponding micro-note is C# +07; so this is the note that the bassline plays in this segment of track.

The melody pitch has been maintained in its original tone so it fits with the bass in a Lidian mode, in order to mantain the maximum harmonic continuity within the context of the full track.

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.

Composed by M. O'Callaghan in 2020 but maintaining the metrics of some traditional anonymous verses from a "goigs" sheet, the melody featured in these 6 seconds is an hymn dedicated to Saint Monica of Hippo (mother of Saint Augustine of Hippo), worshipped every 27th August at the Church of Saint Augustine 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 Monica, 27th August (5º♍︎), the corresponding micro-note is G +27; so this is the note that the bassline plays in this segment of track.

The melody has been composed in a G minor tone (Aeolian mode) in order to mantain the maximum harmonic continuity within the context of the full track.

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.

Composed by Eduardo Hontiveros in 1960, the main melody featured in these 6 seconds is an hymn dedicated to Saint Lorenzo Ruiz (martyr and patron saint of the Philippines), worshipped every 28th September at the Church of Saint Augustine 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 Lorenzo Ruiz, 28th September (6º♎︎), the corresponding micro-note is A +34; so this is the note that the bassline plays in this segment of track.

The melody pitch has been maintained in its original tone so it fits with the bass in a Phrygian mode, in order to mantain the maximum harmonic continuity within the context of the full track.

On top of Saint Lorenzo's melody, three additional melodies are present: the hymn of Our Lady of Antipolo, the hymn of Our Lady of Peñafrancia, and the hymn of Our Lady of Piat. The three virgins are present as little statues on the left wall of the same chapel where Saint Lorenzo Ruiz is venerated in this church, a chapel that is being taken care by the Filippino community of Barcelona.

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.

Composed by Lluís Millet in 1938, the main melody featured in these 6 seconds is an hymn dedicated to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, worshipped every 1st October at the Church of Saint Augustine 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 Thérèse of Lisieux, 1st October (9º♎︎), the corresponding micro-note is A# -47; so this is the note that the bassline plays in this segment of track.

The melody pitch has been maintained in its original tone so it fits with the bass in a Dorian mode, in order to mantain the maximum harmonic continuity within the context of the full track.

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.

Composed by Carlo Colafranceschi in 1993, the melody featured in these 6 seconds is an hymn dedicated to the Christ of Divine Mercy, who appeared to Saint Faustyna Kowalska, who has an altar dedicated to her at the Church of Saint Augustine 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 Faustyna, 5th October (13º♎︎), the corresponding micro-note is A# -20; so this is the note that the bassline plays in this segment of track.

The pitch of this hymn's melody has been shifted 1 semitone downwards so it fits with the bass in a Dorian mode, in order to mantain the maximum harmonic continuity within the context of the full track.

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.
