Ut queant laxis - Hymn to St. John the Baptist sung by Donna Stewart

mignarda.bandcamp.com/album/adoro-te-gregorian-chant-hymns-marian-antiphons
"Ut queant laxis" or "Hymnus in Ioannem" - a medieval Latin chant hymn for the feast of St. John the Baptist (June 24th), is the source for what we have come to know as the solfege syllables (Ut, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La). A creative mnemonic device, the first syllable of each phrase begins on an intervallic step above the previous, creating six tones of a musical scale, and the basis for the hexachord.
Sung by Donna Stewart (of Mignarda), from the 2014 album Adoro Te: Gregorian chant hymns & Marian antiphons, available at www.mignarda.com
The chant is sung at our preferred pitch standard of A=392, which we use in all of our music. But if you read the chant notation, you will notice the voice transposes the chant up to a comfortable pitch that optimizes delivery of the text. This common-sense approach of pitching the chant to where the voices are most comfortable is and always has been standard practice for any schola involved in singing Gregorian chant for the Latin Mass.
For the convenience of those reading the chant and singing along using the modern standard reference pitch of A=440, the voice begins on the pitch of Bb, a minor third higher than the initial notated pitch (G).
recorded live at the Shrine Church of St. Stanislaus, Cleveland, Ohio.
Ut queant laxis resonare fibris
Mira gestorum famuli tuorum,
Solve polluti labiis reatum,
Sancte Joannes.
Nuntius celso veniens Olympo,
te patri magnum fore nasciturum,
nomen, et vitae seriem gerendae,
ordine promit.
Ille promissi dubius superni
perdidit promptae modulos loquelae;
sed reformasti genitus peremptae
organa vocis.
Ventris obstruso recubans cubili,
senseras Regem thalamo manentem:
hinc parens nati, meritis uterque,
abdita pandit.
Sit decus Patri, genitaeque Proli
et tibi, compar utriusque virtus,
Spiritus semper, Deus unus,
omni temporis aevo. Amen
St. John, release the sins of our lips in order that your servants may be able to relate your wonderful deeds with full resound.
A lofty messenger comes from Olympus, revealing to your father your impending birth, your name, your conduct, and the sequence of your life.
That unbelievable heavenly promise set forth in a few words, when proven true by your birth, restored voice to the voiceless.
Lying darkly cradled in your mother's womb, you perceived the King abiding also in his chamber. Henceforth each set of parents, with hands outstretched, concealed their children's merits.
Glory be to the Father, and to the begotten Son and to you his comrade, of equal virtue. One God, for all times, all seasons, all generations.

[@corynicolas3175]

So basically Ut, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La are Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G which would be the first six notes of the Bb major scale and she is singing them with a tonal center that gives the song a Dorian feel (C Dorian). Re = C sounds like home. When I spontaneously sing worship songs they often have this feel for some reason , that is to say, they are often a mode as opposed to a major key (which is actually also a mode = Ionian).

Translation: O, for your spirit Holy John, to chasten lips sin polluted, fettered tongues to loosen, so by your children might your deeds of wonder mightly be enchanted. Lo! A swift herald from the skies descending, bears to your Father promise of your greatness; how He shall name you, what your future story duly revealing. Scarcely believing message so transcendent. Him for a season power of speech forsaketh. Till Your wondrous birth, again returneth, Voice to the voiceless. You, in your mother’s womb darkly cradled, knew your great Monarch, biding in His chamber. Whence the two parents, through their Offspring’s merit, Mysteries uttered. Praise to the Father, to the Son begotten, and to the Spirit, equal power possessing, one God whose glory, through the lapse of ages. Ever resounding, Amen (or Alleluia) Beautiful prayer if you actually know Latin. It is basically a comfort to St. John outlining that he will live on through his children. Also Jesus, His parents, His birth, His credence to God the Father, the miracles He performed, and the Holy Trinity for divine eternity. God bless you ❤

But I've recently learned that the proper musical range of 417 hertz was changed to A440 that is a disruption in the proper frequency that We Should be hearing music in and is Not Good. I have to look more deeply into this as I do most other Conspiracies.

[@Mignarda]

Sadly, there is a great deal of misinformation constantly circling the globe that manages to find its way to the impressionable. In western music, we generally credit the ancient Pythagoras with developing the formula for deriving the distance between pitches of tones of the hexachord. John Harrison (1693 - 1776) even used the ratio of the diameter to the circumference of the circle (Pi) as the basis for his natural scale. The fact is, A=440 Hz is just another pitch standard among many that eventually was accepted by the International Organization for Standardization, and actually only officially as late as 1955. For those of us blessed with the sense of hearing, even our own two ears will often hear a reference pitch differently. Pitch, tonality and the division of scale tones is a subject that preoccupies many people who would likely find life much easier and more fulfilling if they would just tune their ears to the message of the music.

[@Suave007]

@@Mignarda so is A440 bad or not?

[@Mignarda]

@@Suave007 Of course A=440 is not bad. It's just one choice of pitch reference standard among many, as is A=415, A=392, A=430 or any other. Since all people hear pitch with slight variation, there is no one true pitch standard, only one that is convenient. The pitch standard should be whatever suits the voices or the instruments at any given time in any given context. The one pitch standard that is patently absurd due to faulty reasoning and laughable historical justification is A=415, which has become accepted today as the pitch standard for baroque music. The only reason it was chosen as a reference pitch for baroque music is because performers in the mid-20th century thought old pitch should be lower, so they chose one-half step below A=440.

[@Xx8BALxX]

So basically what he’s trying to tell you is no, he didn’t change it away from 440hz. No matter how long of an excuse he drags out, doesn’t change the reality that different frequencies channel different imaging through mediums that can be seen physically such as water and grains of sand/salt for example
