COMPOSER
Veni Creator Spiritus: ("Come Creator Spirit") is a Catholic hymn believed to have been written in the 9th century. It is often sung at occasions such as the entrance of Cardinals to the Sistine Chapel, when electing a new pope, as well as at the consecration of bishops, the ordination of priests, when celebrating the sacrament of Confirmation, the dedication of churches, the celebration of synods or councils, the coronation of kings, the profession of members of religious institutes and other similar solemn events..http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15341a.htm
highly, till all healthy appetites were sick and until the music was nothing but pepper.”
AUTHOR: Sergei Prokofiev
"Dissonance in music (different sounds that do not blend pleasantly
together) should be used like spices are used in food; overuse will
spoil the product."
