One L priceless, terrible, rejoicing

So translating these three words into Latin they would appear in the respective titles along with the L word?

Hmmm, I know little Latin so wouldn't know the right liturgical words for these, except rejoicing is exultate.............

James MacMillan is the only composer I know who wrote a piece of music for Pescarden Abbey - or is it the monks themselves singing?

Though he wrote a 'laudi'. As did many composers.

Not getting very far on this.

google translate gives inaestimabilis for priceless - which turns up in a motet by Victoria (I think) and who knows what else
Victoria was an organist - but for the Jesuits ?
I've trawled through a list of Macmillan's works and found something for organ premiered at Pluscarden called Gaudeamus in loci pace which at least gives us an L word of sorts
terribilis or horribilis for terrible ?

Bruckner, organist St Florian (Jesuits ?) - Locus iste
Locus iste a Deo factus est, Inaestimabile sacramentum, irreprehensibilis est.
This place was made by God, a priceless sacrament; it is without reproach.

Terribilis est locus iste - by ........... a Franciscan ........ ?

Charpentier was an organist for Jesuits, that much I know, but I think most of his titles are French. Rameau was also an organist for Jesuits, but he didn't write anything liturgical afaik.

I suppose locum doctor Flay might be likely to choose the word locus/loci (?)

I hope so! Gaudeamus fits "rejoicing" as well.

Yep

<< The Old Cathedral in the Town Hall District of Linz was originally a Jesuit church. It was called St. Ignatius Church until 1909 when the new Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception was finished; since then it has been known as the Old Cathedral. >>

This was where Anton hung out.

MacMillan: Gaudeamus in Loci pace, for solo organ, written in 1998 to celebrate the golden jubilee of the re-foundation of Pluscarden Abbey, the Benedictine community near Elgin.

Terribilis est Locus iste by Blasius Ammon (1558 – June 1590), an Austrian composer, singer and Franciscan monk.

I think Mercs wins it

couldn't have done it without the prickles help, I'm sure we would have found the Franciscan eventually

I thought you had done well enough. I've never heard of Blasius Ammon. One for CoTW perhaps?

Perhaps not.

Perhaps not - but it'd be great in Scrabble.

Several, but not all, sported distinctive moustaches, all were friends of Maurice Ravel, all were part of the larger group called the Apaches, but neither that nor their theme-tune from Borodin helps a lot. The clincher is, surely, that the movements of Ravel's MIROIRS were dedicated to the Mighty five.

you've cracked it (thereby causing seven years of bad luck) - yes several possible Ms but Miroirs was what was on the card - well done

FiNe, Mercia, although my Naughty brain had igNored N and got to work on O - so I'd better try to be the first to aNswer my N test.
