RantWoman is amused by one accessibility specialist in her Twitter stream: he is observing an extended advent by posting a new technology hint every day. RantWoman has not gone looking for any theology behind the venture, but definitely different from little chocolate candies behind the doors of advent calendars.
RantWoman can tell from her Tweet stream that she is missing timing about celebrating the annunciation, the angel speaking to Mary of her pregnancy. RantWoman will get to the actual annunciation shortly. First, RantWoman offers her third and final meditation on music from the university Presbyterian Church 2019 Noel concert related to JS Bach Cantata No. 10.
First RantWoman DEEPLY appreciates a program with decent sized fonts and enough white space that RantWoman could actually read the program, including the bilingual English / German cantata text. RantWoman spent many a choral concert as a child reading different bilingual texts. The difficulty of doing so now is one of RantWoman's brain at sea pangs: RantWoman still has PLENTY going on and usually prefers to enjoy what she does have rather than focus on what she does not. For instance, RantWoman vaguely remembers some inspiring words she meant to pull out as a quote but that has not happened.
The concert had basically live program notes from the choir director. One was just a reference to old modes, sonic legos, building blocks used to create whole big compositions such as cantatas. RantWoman somehow found it significan to meditation on reference to modes that go back hundreds of years to medieval times, What all information what all story do the different modes represent? RantWoman mentions the story because one element in particular, the tonus peregrinus represents the Annunciation to Mary. RantWoman sort of means to do more research to tighten up the reference but may just note it for now.
Finally, in reference to the Annunciation, this post about consent.
It was enough for God--Post about Mary and consent.
RantWoman is interested in this understanding of Mary's consent, but RantWoman is also feeling argumentative about all the people who do NOT consent to getting the kinds of body-minds (to quote Lydia X Z Brown) that God gives them. Stay tuned for where the heck RantWoman is going with that, beyond too many people telling her she has no rights in a bunch of contexts and the concepts of conflicting access needs interdependence, but for tonight, just click and replay the video.
