Debussy - Prelude No. 10 “La Cathédrale Engloutie”

Debussy - Prelude no. 10 “La Cathédrale Engloutie”

For Debussy’s birthday I want to pay more attention to one of my favorite preludes by him. I fell in love with the Sunken Cathedral back in high school mostly for the evocative imagery, a great Gothic church under a blue hue, choral gently waving around it, fish swimming up in the buttresses and rafters like birds, a familiar building in an alien world. It is based off of a Breton legend of a city named Ys which sunk into the ocean, and every morning the cathedral of Ys would rise up and one could hear its bells, its organs, its singers. This prelude is full of chords and passages trying to evoke the sound of muted church bells and organ music. The melodies are gorgeous over mostly pentatonic harmonies, and the passages act like a chorale and are bursting with energy.

If You Want To Learn A Liiiitle Bit Of Astronomy(or Just Like The Stars), This Might Come In Handy ^^

If you want to learn a liiiitle bit of astronomy(or just like the stars), this might come in handy ^^

Fun fact: Yesterday I told one of my friends to get me into an astronomy club (I know awesome) and sadly there are too many people already. I guess the universe didn’t want it to happen.

List of things I wished they would've included in Turn

-John Laurens -Lafayette sucking at dancing -Lafayette crying at John Andre’s hanging and Hamilton trying to defend John Andre by saying he’s too beautiful to be hanged -Flashbacks of Ben and Nathan -Lafayette and George taking a nap after the battle of Monmouth -the duel between John Laurens and Charles Lee -Baron von Steuben -the fucking way Baron von Steuben came into the fucking camp like some sort of god -Baron von Steuben falling in love with Benjamin Walker -FLASHBACKS OF BEN AND NATHAN -the time everyone thought Hamilton died and then he stood in the doorway dripping wet -Scenes with Lafayette, Hamilton and Laurens doing things that actually happened like pushing their beds together or spending whole nights on the grass outside and just talking about politics -just the three of them being besties -JOHN LAURENS!!!!

I mean there are obviously more things and probably more important things but this the stuff they easily could have included on the show.

My parrot has a vague understanding of the word “no.” He knows to stop doing what he’s doing when he hears it, and he knows how to say it.

He knows it’s a word that is used when he’s doing something he shouldn’t be doing. However, being told “no” doesn’t make him stop doing it in future.

If he’s ever out of my sight or if I’m not paying attention, I know exactly when he’s doing something bad.

Because he says “no” to himself as he does it.
