Wow, wonderful LION in READING where Mike Oldfield was born!!! :)

You know, lions are also a symbol of Christ.

In Christian tradition, the lion is often assumed to represent Jesus. Many Christian organizations and ministries use the lion of Judah as their emblem or even their name.
The phrase appears in the New Testament Book of Revelation 5:5; "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof."
The use in C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia of a lion as a messianic figure is seen as a potential reference to this section of Revelation.

I recently discovered a photo where Mike is wearing a t-shirt that curiously has a LION on it

*From the Ashes actually means a Phoenix, a symbol of RESURRECTION.

*Return to the Origin (listen to the "water sounds")

*Tr3s Lunas (The Eye of the Spirit is watching you

*Viper (The Serpent, symbol of the "Mastermind"/ "God")

*Thou Art in Heaven (isn't that an old use or biblical pronoun? I think it's part of The Lord's Prayer, or Our Father)

I want to make clear that I'm not talking about religion, just "spiritual associations or connections" I find (in my opinion) in Mike and Mike's music.

Let there be Light lyrics

Apparently there is a mix of English and Latin. The woman says: "BURNING", "MELTING", "PEACE ONLY". And the man says (this is what "I can listen") "ANIMUS", "FULTUS", "SALUS".
The Latin words means: "COURAGE", "SUPPORTER", "SALVATION". Personally I would translate this message like: "Courage or have faith, God, is the salvation"

Hibernaculum Lyrics

I think is partly Latin. This is what I make of it:

First: Hibernaculum means wintertent, winterplace or winter "quarters". Must have something to do with events in the book. Anyone read it? (If you have the bonus video in the Songs of Distant Earth CD, you can actually see Mike in the spaceship's hibernaculum room)

Maybe the Magellan had to stay on Thalassa (Greek: sea) for winter. Magellan...also reminds me of Strait of Magellan, which is coincidently a "strait" in the sea (Thalassa) connecting South Atlantic and South Pacific Oceans. And guess what? It is here in Argentina!!! and Chile.

Annalus comito
(Passivus) comito

Pleni sunt caeli (sentence from the original, Roman-Catholic 'Sanctus' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctus)
Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis. benedictus...


Annalus comitto
Tacitus comitto

Pleni sunt... etc.

Comitto means to "entrust".

Maybe something completely different is said. The 'annalus' I'm not quite certain about.
The middle part (pleni sunt...) does mean something, though. That's the very same part that "Enigma" uses in their song:


PRISM OF LIFE

I am hunted by the future
Will the future be my past?
Or is time a fade out picture
Of my everlasting cast?

Love is phasing
Love is moving
To the rhythm of your sight
I get closer
To the crossing point of light

Sanctus, sanctus dominus deus sabaoth.
Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis. benedictus...
(translation: Holy, holy, lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are filled with thy glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest)

Let us try to live our lost illusions
They're the sun at night
If we don't well never taste
The spice of life

And when it seems that were in a dead end street
Theres no reason to cry
Cause we have a helping hand whos always aside

FOREVER LIGHT

AMOR,

SIRIUS

IAO | O |

Bueno, pero kien es este hombre misterioso

Esto tiene pina de ser un bot . . .

Pleni sunt caeli (sentence from the original, Roman-Catholic 'Sanctus'
Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis. benedictus...


Annalus comitto
Tacitus comitto

Pleni sunt... etc.

Comitto means to "entrust".

¿será el propio Mike Oldfield, que se le ha ido la olla ?

k wena, la letra de HIBERNACULUM!!! jejej, y yo que cantaba lo que m parecía....pos ya sé la letra

 ¡Me aburrooooo!

Osea que el gregoriano de la cancion tiene la letra del sanctus de la reforma gragoriana que unifico las liturgias europeas en la alta edad media, que weno esto se lo llevo a mi profe de Historia de la musica del conservatorio que seguro que la hace gracia.

 Recuperando el hilo... para traer una pequeña curiosidad.

Leyendo la biografía sobre Mike de Héctor Campos (págs. 384-385), incluye información sobre la composición y grabación de Hibernaculum que al menos yo no conocía. Cuenta que en 2017 contactó con Andrew Grand, quien dirigió al grupo The Tallis Scholars, especializado en grabaciones de música sacra renacentista, fundado por Peter Phillips, y que hizo las grabaciones de canto gregoriano para The Songs of Distant Earth.

Los temas compuestos por Mike y arreglados por Grant fueron: Amarus Dormitor, Dominus mundus saliu, Libera me I y Libera me II. 

Por tanto, ¿la letra del primer verso de Hibernaculum podría ser "Amarus Dormitor", en vez del "Annalus comito" que veníamos aceptando hasta ahora? 

¿Y a qué fragmentos en gregoriano del TSODE corresponderían los otros 3 temas que compuso Mike? 

Pues tiene toda la pinta. Aunque con la letra de Hibernáculum me pasa como con las psicofonías: acabo oyendo hasta un espíritu del siglo XIX si me ponen una frase que pegue. xD

Pues sí 

Del Sanctus que indicó goyo en su mensaje en 2007 sí viene el verso "pleni sunt caeli"... pero faltaría el "et terra gloria tua". Y del resto de versos, incluido el "Amarus dormitor" que menciona Campos, no he encontrado nada.

Vamos, que los The Tallis Scholars se quedarían a cuadros cuando viesen que tenían que cantar latinajos sin sentido 

----------------------------------

EDITO: Acabo de caer... Ese "Dominus mundos saliu" es sin duda el fragmento coral gregoriano de Let There Be Light, antes de que Deborah Roberts, también de The Tallis Scholars, interprete una parte como solista de la que hasta ahora no hemos sabido la letra. ¿Tal vez serían las composiciones "Libera me" I y II?
