Hey everyone, do u know wat would be cool, if we all begged the pope to allow the templar order to be reinstated and they were able to help us in afghanistan and iraq, not like knights, but like ultimate special forces, then we could rub it in to pathetic geroups like muslims against crusades and al queda, am i right people?
@StoneAngel123 The idea of templar order has been corrupted. Whole idea was captured by masonry. However the Order of Malta is still existing but now it is rather a society of old snobs.
@JLHOWARD40 Since this is a very old Catholic chant, I'm not surprised that it's influenced by Eastern Christianity, as the Byzantines had had a very significant cultural impact on Italy in the early Medieval ages.
The official language of the Eastern Roman Empire was latin until the beginning of the 7th Century, although, being in the east, the largest part of the population used greek as vernacular. The educated and the scholars did use latin, a tradition that began to wane after Greek became the official language of the State.
@JLHOWARD40 That s Byzantine Chant. In that epoque was only a church, the Ortodox church. After, Roman Church split from the others church of East in 1054.
The melody isn´t asdifficult as the bycantine choral. The reason is the western tone-system which has only 12 different tones. The greek music has a lot of more tone-steps.
@DLBBAM That's the Capella Palatina in Palermo, Sicily. It was built by the Normans in the 11th Century (different group from William the Conqueror - The Hautevilles). The chapel is a fusion of a western cathedral with byzantine mosaics and islamic woodworking - fitting for being in Sicily - perhaps the most invaded island in History.
2- these ancient times amaze me. back then, you could look in any direction from the walls of tiny Paris and see a green land to the horizon! broken only by trails and hedgerows. and the occasional cluster of farm houses. and those hairy viking guys in chainmail on 50 dragon ships sneaking up the river! ...they made things lively i must say! farm life can be sooo boring!
old Roman? western Roman?? its sounds very eastern Roman!=Byzantine. which brings up the Great Vocal Change! meaning that Gregorian chanting as we know it today, split from the original, universal, Orthodox chanting after the Great Schism!
@acerb45666555 Not quite, this is actually Old Roman from the 6th century and earlier and that is why it is in Latin. There is no "orthodox" chanting. Byzantine and Gregorian and other variations developed since the 5th century AD from this original style, long before the schism.
@Callixtinus I've was blessed to have had the chance to visit the Holy Churches of Ravenna. I stood in San Vitale and marveled. I highly recommend a visit to anyone who wants to see some of the most wonderful churches in the world.

Inveni David servum meum oleo sancto unxi eum. Manus enim mea auxiliabitur ei et brachium meum confortabit eum. Nihil proficiet inimicus in eo et filius iniquitatis non adponet nocere eum. I have chosen David my servant with holy oil I have anointed him My hand shall be with him and my arm will make him strong. No enemy shall outwit him nor shall the wicked defeat him. Ps 89
I am not sure about the date of composition but it was in use from roughly 7th century AD to 13th century AD. I'd say, lacking evidential data and as a rough guess, considering the style that it was composed during the early to mid 7th century. Next week I will be posting a 12th century transcription of an ancient (6th-7th century) Byzantine chant that has certain similarities to old Roman chants like this one.

Hoc letra est:
Inveni David, servum meum; oleo sancto meo unxi eum.
22 Manus enim mea auxiliabitur ei,
et brachium meum confortabit eum.
23 Nihil proficiet inimicus in eo,
et filius iniquitatis non apponet nocere ei.

More accurately: there was a Catholic Church (katholiki ekklisia) confessing an Orthodox (i.e. right/true) faith.
