The melody featured in these 6 seconds is an hymn dedicated to Saint Lutgardis (protector of the women in labour), worshipped every 16th June in his chapel at the Basílica of Sants Just i Pastor in Barcelona. It has been composed by M. O'Callaghan in 2020, from some verses written by E. Cubas in 1924 appearing in a printed version of the lyrics for an hymn to Saint Lutgardis whose original melody has been lost.

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 day of Saint Lutgardis, 16th June (26º♊︎), the corresponding micro-note is D# -34; so this is the note that the bassline plays in this segment of track.

Then the melody has been composed in a Dorian mode over a D# -34 major tonality, in order to mantain the maximum harmonic continuity within the context of the full track.

Full production by Marc O'Callaghan in 2020; mastering by Roc J. de Cisneros in 2021.

The melody featured in these 6 seconds is an hymn dedicated to Saint Friedrich, bishop and martyr, worshipped every 18th July in his chapel at the Basílica of Sants Just i Pastor in Barcelona. It has been composed by M. O'Callaghan in 2020, following the metrics of some verses printed in 1890.

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 day of Saint Friedrich, 18th July (27º♋︎), the corresponding micro-note is F -27; so this is the note that the bassline plays in this segment of track.

Then the melody has been composed in an Aeolian mode over a F -27 minor tonality, in order to mantain the maximum harmonic continuity within the context of the full track.

The melody featured in these 6 seconds is an hymn dedicated to Saints Justus and Pastor, two schoolboy brothers who were martyrized by the romans, worshipped every 6th August in his chapel at the Basílica of Saints Justus and Pastor in 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 Saints Justus and Pastor, 6th August (14º♌︎), the corresponding micro-note is F# -14; so this is the note that the bassline plays in this segment of track.

Then the melody has been composed in an Locrian mode over a F# -14 minor tonality, in order to mantain the maximum harmonic continuity within the context of the full track.

On top of this melody, two more melodies have been added. First one is another hymn ("goigs") dedicated to Our Lady of Montserrat, who together with Justus and Pastor presides the main altar at this church. The other one is the melody of the responsorial chant "Ave Maria Dominus Tecum", which very same words are inscripted in the frize across the stucture of the altar.

Full production by Marc O'Callaghan in 2020; mastering by Roc J. de Cisneros in 2021.

The melody featured in these 6 seconds is an hymn dedicated to Saint Lawrence, worshipped every 10th August in his chapel at the Basílica of Saints Justus and Pastor in 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 Lawrence, 10th August (18º♌︎), the corresponding micro-note is F# +14; so this is the note that the bassline plays in this segment of track.

The melody pitch has been shifted 5 semitones downwards in order to make it fit with the bass, specifically in a Locrian mode in order to mantain the maximum harmonic continuity within the context of the full track.

On top of Saint Lawrence's melody, this segment also contains the melody of an hymn dedicated to Saint Francis Xavier, whose statue lied over the ground of this same chapel in the moment when this information was compiled.

Full production by Marc O'Callaghan in 2020; mastering by Roc J. de Cisneros in 2021.
