Orgue de l'abbaye Notre Dame de Randol
C'est un orgue de style baroque de facture anglaise (Thomas J. Robson), qui aurait grand besoin d'être relevé car il ne tient plus l'accord.
Le récit est injouable 350 jours par an, et je ne parle même pas des anches...
Sinon, il possède un très beau cromorne au GO, généralement juste.
Son pédalier est étroit et RADIAL, ce qui le rend particulièrement difficile à jouer quand on a l'habitude des pédailers normaux c'est à dire droits.
World War I, Preview Episode 6, Champagne Journal
Champagne Journal is an 8 part video series on the history of champagne filmed in France.
In 1914, France and Germany declared war on one another yet again. In 1915, on average, 1500 German bombs a day fell on Rheims. By the end of WWI, 98% of the city would be destroyed. This horrible bombardment forced 20,000 citizens of Rheims to live underground in the large, limestone cellars of the champagne houses for protection.

ЄВРОПА ПОВИННА ПОВЕРНУТИСЯ В КИЇВ-КАРАЧЕВСЬКИЙ-ВОВК УМТКСтолиця(ч.1 далі буде)
Anna Yaroslavna [Анна Ярославна; Jaroslavna], b 1024/25 or 1032 in Kyiv, d after 1075. Daughter of Grand Prince Yaroslav the Wise of Kyiv and Ingegerd, daughter of King Olof Skötkunung of Sweden; the third wife of King Henry I of France; and sister-in-law of kings Andrew I of Hungary and Harald III of Norway. The sonless, twice-widowed Henry arranged to marry Anna to secure Yaroslav's support against the Holy Roman Empire, to obtain a male heir, and to comply with the church's regulations forbidding marriage with close cousins. Their marriage took place at the Reims Cathedral on 19 May 1051, and the first of their three sons, later King Philip I, was born in 1052. The name ‘Philip’ was very rare in France prior to that time, and was likely inspired by Saint Philip who converted Scythia, an area identified with Kyivan Rus’ in the Middle Ages. After Henry's death in 1060, Anna (Anne) ruled France as co-regent while Philip was a child. In 1061 she married Count Raoul III of Valois, resulting in their excommunication by Pope Alexander II because Raoul already had a wife. After Raoul’s death in 1074, Anna returned to Philip’s court. The place and date of her death are unknown.
Anna's signature in Cyrillic on a French royal charter from the 1060s is the only known example of a Capetian queen's signature on parchment and the only known (pre-13th century) signature of a member of the Riurykide dynasty. It is the oldest extant example of Old Ukrainian handwriting. A medieval fresco depicting her and her mother and two sisters is preserved in Kyiv’s Saint Sophia Cathedral, and two 20th-century full-figure sculptures of Anna are found in Senlis near Paris in the church of Saint Vincent's Monastery, which she had founded.
Le grand orgue de la Cathédrale Saint-Vincent de Mâcon - Toccata de Loïc Chamonard
Vidéo enregistrée le lundi 21 octobre 2019 a 17h30. Dans cette vidéo, je joue mon morceau que j’ai nommé « Toccata » mais cette fois ci a la cathédrale . Il est rare d’entendre les grandes orgues ici ainsi qu’à st Pierre. À st Pierre vue que je joue souvent et que j’ai tendance à les mettre facilement, on peux les entendre un peu plus. Vous remarquerez aussi à la parti douce du morceau (au début) que l’on entend des sifflements désagréables quand je joue. Il s’agit des fuites d’air dans certains tuyaux de l’orgue ! Sinon à part ça cet orgue est très bien malgré qu’il soit pas en très bon état.

അനുദിന വിശുദ്ധർ (Saint of the Day) January 10th St William of Bourges
അനുദിന വിശുദ്ധർ (Saint of the Day) January 10th St William of Bourges
William Berruyer, of the illustrious family of the ancient counts of Nevers, was educated by Peter the hermit, archdeacon of Soissons, his uncle by the mother's side. He learned from his infancy to despise the folly and emptiness of the riches and grandeur of the world, to abhor its pleasures, and to tremble at its dangers. His only delight was in exercises of piety and in his studies, in which he employed his whole time with indefatigable application. He was made canon, first of Soissons, and afterwards of Paris: but he soon took the resolution of abandoning all commerce with the world; and retired into the solitude of Grandmont, where he lived with great regularity in that austere order, till seeing its peace disturbed by a contest which arose between the fathers and lay-brothers, he passed into the Cistercian, then in wonderful odour of sanctity. He took the habit in the abbey of Pontigny, and shining as a perfect model of monastic perfection, was after some time chosen prior of that house, and afterwards abbot, first of Fountaine-Jean, in the diocess of Sens, (a filiation of Pontigny, founded in 1124, by Peter de Courtenay, son of king Lewis the Fat,) and some time after, of Chaalis, near Senlis, a much more numerous monastery, also a filiation of Pontigny, built by Lewis the Fat in 1136, a little before his death. St. William always reputed himself the last among his brethren. The universal mortification of his senses and passions, laid in him the foundation of an admirable purity of heart, and an extraordinary gift of prayer; in which he received great heavenly lights, and tasted of the sweets which God has reserved for those to whom he is pleased to communicate himself. The sweetness and cheerfulness of his countenance testified the uninterrupted joy and peace that overflowed his soul, and made virtue appear with the most engaging charms in the midst of austerities.
On the death of Henry de Sully, archbishop of Bourges, the clergy of that church requested his brother Eudo, bishop of Paris, to come and assist them in the election of a pastor. Desirous to choose some abbot of the Cistercian Order, then renowned for holy men, they put on the altar the names of three, written on as many billets. This manner of election by lots would have been superstitious, and a tempting of God, had it been done, relying on a miracle without the warrant of divine inspiration. But it deserved not this censure, when all the persons proposed seemed equally worthy and fit, as the choice was only recommended to God, and left to this issue by following the rules of his ordinary providence, and imploring his light, without rashness, or a neglect of the usual means of scrutiny; prudence might sometimes even recommend such a method, in order to terminate a debate when the candidates seemed equally qualified. God, in such cases, is said sometimes to have miraculously interposed.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
French art consists of the visual and plastic arts (including architecture, woodwork, textiles, and ceramics) originating from the geographical area of France. Modern France was the main centre for the European art of the Upper Paleolithic, then left many megalithic monuments, and in the Iron Age many of the most impressive finds of early Celtic art. The Gallo-Roman period left a distinctive provincial style of sculpture, and the region around the modern Franco-German border led the empire in the mass production of finely decorated Ancient Roman pottery, which was exported to Italy and elsewhere on a large scale. With Merovingian art the story of French styles as a distinct and influential element in the wider development of the art of Christian Europe begins.
France can fairly be said to have been a leader in the development of Romanesque art and Gothic art, before the Renaissance led to Italy becoming the main source of stylistic developments until France matched Italy's influence during the Rococo and Neoclassicism periods and then regained the leading role in the Arts from the 19th to the mid-20th century.
ISLANDE DE GLACE et de FEU
Ce diaporama est composé de photos prises en 2012, lors d'un voyage en Islande, je suis partie en avion avec un vol low cost, et j'ai parcouru ce pays merveilleux avec mon sac à dos, en utilisant les bus qui le sillonnent j'y est retrouvé mes amis. Tous ces paysages sont gravés dans ma mémoire, que démotions devant la puissance, la beauté et la pureté des éléments.
La distance qui nous sépare du monde subtil semble ici s'effacer.
La vie est partout, dans le cœur de ses volcans, recouverts de leurs glaciers pour calmer le feu qui les anime, dans ces cascades majestueuses qui charrient dans un grondement d'une puissance inouïe l'eau de la fonte des glaces, dans les fumerolles, dans ces geysers qui explosent en larmes brûlantes, et cette odeur de soufre qui vous envahit...
La nature y est en perpétuelle création.
Je tenais à remercier de tout cœur Est motorcycles qui a dynamisé ce voyage.
