Does The Irs Send Audits In Certified Mail

remarks on "Good News" by André de La

for info on the album and lyrics, http://www.viadelcampo.com/html/la_buona_novella.html


  • de André was not exactly a devout Christian It is obvious that the album is not simply set to music of the Gospels ...
  • a song such as Laudate Dominum has no reason to exist: it has no textual or musical merits, could well be included as the opening words of Mary's childhood it
  • Laudate Dominum Laudate Hominem and are the only 2 songs are not narrative, devoid of direct references to the Gospels, "timeless" It speaks, human attitudes that should be eternal ...
  • the title is the translation of the Gospel, but the album follows the Apocrypha, not to the Canons.
  • the title is the translation of the Gospel, the characters are those of the Gospels, especially the family of Jesus, but Jesus does not speak to the entire album ever, it is not even pronounced the name, and he is mentioned a few times and vaguely (a Nazarene, the Son of God, my son said to Mary).
  • Not only tracks 2 through 5 are consequential, ranging from childhood with the pregnancy of Mary through the proclamation and its revelation to Joseph. Ditto for the tracks from 6 to 9: Preparation of the 3 crosses, Cross, late of the mothers of the crucified and speech of a cross (Titus in the apocryphal is the good thief). The only strong detachment chronological (underlined by the music, see. the opening words of Mary in the carpenter's shop ) is one of the track 5 and 6, and the pregnancy of Mary, the Passion of Jesus 33 years to the day: in an album on the Gospels, André de skipped the life of Jesus . How, after all, the Resurrection: The album ends before his death!

Why all this? Why intessesse de André was not singing the God made man, but men pure and simple. So an album on the Gospels no miracles, no signs (the same ad is almost a dream, a hallucination) and that Jesus does not sing, but the men who surrounded and their relationship with the Good News.

And this is also seen from the structure of the album, which is a real journey: you start with Laudate Dominum (invocation canonical classic, which focuses on God), but you get to Laudate hominem ; exhortation to remember that Mary, Joseph, the robbers were men like us ... (I do not want / I / I can think of the Son of God, but the Son of Man, even my brother, "he used an expression of the Gospels, but in a different direction ...). And exactly halfway between the 2 "Lauda" (then in the middle of the album), the fifth song, Ave Maria : Laudate Dominum = classic formula and meaning, Laudate Hominem = formula and meaning twisted, Ave Maria = classic formula, meaning but overwhelmed is not a prayer to the Holy Mother, but the mother how many, because the common outstanding. "Ave Maria, now that you're a woman, ave to women like you, Mary. "

De André looked with suspicion the deification of the figure of Jesus, but they still recognized as the exceptional man: he Tito's will, the divine (the 10 commandments) is denied, useless but Tito is shocked "to see this man die ... piety that does not give in to anger ... and the man that counts, that makes the world ...
