A reminder: Constantine put Jews to death for circumcising their (Christian) slaves; Boomers circumcise their sons for purported ‘aesthetic’ and ‘health’ reasons.

I used to give daily music recommendations on Twitter, but nobody really saw them. This might be a better platform for it, so we’ll start with a lovely rendition of Greensleeves

Today’s piece is from one of (or the) first piece commissioned for wind band that was not a march, Lincolnshire Posy. All six movements are English folk songs from the turn of the last century, the first one being ‘Lisbon Bay.’ Grainger, the composer of the piece, tried to find non-professional locals in England to sing the folk songs for him to transcribe so as to get the songs in their pure form. The Englishman that sang Lisbon Bay was a very old, dying warehouseman who, after hearing the then-modern recordings, accepted to sing it. Grainger remarked, "I thought he might as well die singing it as die without singing it." The lyrics are attached and the movement linked.

“The merit that Fascism has thereby won for itself will live on eternally in history.”

Why did the great classical liberal and economist Mises say this?

I was busy after the stream with Stephen yesterday, so I’ll drop two songs

The second movement of Lincolnshire Posy is Horkstow Grange, notable due to just how localized a song it was. The English tradition of music (inherited by the American tradition and particularly in the South) regularly saw songs being created, usually using the same tune as more popular songs, to commemorate events within a village or ever so slightly larger locality. Horkstow Grange details a fight between one John Bowlin’ and one Steeleye Span

The next movement, movement three, is Rufford Park Poachers. The song details a story originating in the year 1851, where ten gamekeepers were attacked by fourfold their number, with one of the gamekeepers dying. The last few stanzas sing of the trial of the poachers, with the murderer being sentenced to “fourteen years in convict slavery.” In the music itself, you can hopefully hear the saxophone in a very prominent part of the melody. This is significant, as this piece is one of the first major symphonic pieces to include the saxophone

For lyrics, I can actually share a channel given to me by Morgoth. I’m sure you will enjoy as much as I did:

Makes one consider, doesn’t it?

Israel Has Officially Banned Fluoridation of Its Drinking Water

Via: Newsweek:

On Tuesday of this week (Aug. 26), Israel officially stopped adding fluoride to its water supplies. The decision has “been lauded by various rights groups, but criticized by many in the medical and dental communities as a serious mistake,” as the Times of Israel put it.

The tasteless, colorless chemical is put into…

There will be no show tomorrow. I have a funeral to attend.

Before I arrive at the funeral, I figured I would post the next two movements to Lincolnshire Posy

Movement IV is named “The Brisk Young Sailor,” though the name of the folk song is commonly known to be “A Fair Maid Walking.” The piece was recorded in Barrow-on-Humber, sung by a “Mrs. Thompson” (this detail I think really underscores how genuine and authentic this symphony is, that all the melody and lyrics was collected from locals in small English villages). It is worth noting that this piece is not the same as the similarly named “A Brisk Young Sailor Courted Me.” The lyrics are provided as always, and a link to the movement is below:

The reason I post two movements today is because the fourth movement ends very abruptly and leads immediately into the fifth movement, “Lord Melbourne” or “Lord Marlborough.” The former is how the song appears in the symphony, but the latter is the actual folk song. As the lyrics suggest, this is the war song, and in the symphony it is written in what is called “free time,” that is, there is no discernible beat except for what the conductor gives. Legend has it that the movement is written this way because the gentleman that sang the song in the recording was drunk.

The absolute state of American Baptists

The pastor of the church pictured above left before we got to the grave side, so I had to conduct as much of the Burial of the Dead from the Book of Common Prayer as a layman is allowed to

The modern right is absolutely abysmal at helping its own and those around them that they nominally seek to defend. We have streamers, content producers, budding local organizations, basketweavers, families, authors, poets, musicians, and everything in between all of them, but not one organization dedicated and able to make sure none of our own fall through the cracks or survive being put out by the state and its fellow persecutors (which I will let you infer). The Blackshirts ran soup kitchens and breadlines. The remnants of the Confederates founded multiple societies and organizations, some still around today, to ensure that their own would be cared for when everywhere else was deadset on grinding them into the dust. The remnants of the White Army have a still functioning military union to care for those they could reach.

It’s all well and good to point out that mainstream “conservatives” will only offer jobs and support to leftist cosmopolitans kicked out of the left, but it’s pointless if we aren’t ourselves doing any better.

We do see a good start from Patriotic Alternative, and Krogan is absolutely right to say that everyone, especially Americans, should be taking notes.

A lot of people conflate Christian Nationalism with some Ill-perceived postmillenialism, so I thought I would clear something up and link to an article by a friend.

Christian Nationalism is not some utopian attempt to bring about the Paradise on Earth if only we forced everybody and everything to be Christian (as if anybody believes that faith can be forced into somebody by human might and will). Rather, Christian Nationalism is very plain and basic. It realizes that there is no such thing as neutral or progressive governance. It extrapolates from this what must be done; either the laws and rulers of the land are in line with Christ or against Christ with no in-between, void, gray area, or neutrality. It goes beyond the early 21st century conception of Christianity as a private affair that exists for utility of those around you and recognizes that Christianity must be defended from constant attack by the demons that plague us on the battlegrounds of our churches, our clergy, our leaders and governors, and our legal system.

One may think “Christian Nationalism simply wants laws and rulers in line with Christ? Wasn’t this just the Western World for millennia?” The answer is simple: yes, that is all it is.

My friend elaborates further here: https://news.gab.com/2021/12/14/christian-nationalism-is-the-only-godly-option/

Before the day ends, I’ll finish off Lincolnshire Posy by posting The Lost Lady Found

This is unique, as Grainger supposedly did not collect it and record it himself. Rather, he had previously written arrangements of the piece based on a recording that he received from a woman. The woman had recorded an old family friend singing the folk song around 1905. Grainger had collected the full lyrics though, which are provided as always

I’ve been posting from the Dallas Wind Symphony (and you can find the album playlist here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kggaiqXVCfeDfVkrkmk_OdnMN4A7YV5WE)

But it does not capture the feeling of the Posy for the simple fact that is splits the movements into several videos. This is much closer to what I remember it sounding like when I heard a symphony play it live: https://youtu.be/K1FDk8__Nv4
