Ketika mencari maksud lagu Conquest of Paradise daripada Vangelis, aku mendapat tahu bahawa perkataan di dalam lagu tersebut bukanlah bahasa Latin, Rom atau pun Spanish, sebaliknya adalah 'word painting' ataupun teknik untuk menulis muzik (mereka yang terlibat dalam dunia muzik pasti tahu tentang ini).Menariknya apabila aku merujuk mengenai word painting kepada Prof. Wiki yang serba tahu, aku terjumpa fakta ini:
Tone painting of words goes at least as far back as Gregorian chant. Little musical patterns are musical words that express not only emotive ideas such as joy but theological meanings as well in the Gregorian. For instance, the pattern FA-MI-SOL-LA signifies the humiliation and death of Christ and His resurrection into glory. FA-MI signifies deprecation, while SOL is the note of the resurrection, and LA is above the resurrection, His heavenly glory ("surrexit Jesus"). Such musical words are placed on words from the Biblical Latin text; for instance when FA-MI-SOL-LA is placed on "et libera" (e.g. introit for Sexagesima Sunday) it signifies that Christ liberates us from sin through His death and resurrection.
Hmmm....ada juga yang tersirat rupanya.
