Wonderful music. Poignant stuff.

Music in very meditative. Polyphony is excellent. Words are meaningful.

I tried hard to understand the older generations' mentality. They profoundly felt to find out: What's our life? If we don't well know Phylosophy and Theology, it's very hard to understand and answer it.

Our life is in transit, in which we must fulfil our souls with good deeds, typically No pains, no gains.', for Eternity. We've lost IT since Eve. We must redo IT now, otherwise we'll not have IT in the World to come.

nice poetry, better than most stuff today imo

A beautiful madrigal, but it's kinda sad knowing that this is the last piece of poetry that a guy wrote before he was executed.
