  • Nel corso della presentazione il decano dei vaticanisti, Arcangelo Paglialunga, dopo aver offerto una testimonianza sul modo con cui i giornalisti accolsero la promulgazione[...] del primo documento conciliare, ha svolto una accorata perorazione a favore dell’uso del gregoriano durante le celebrazioni liturgiche.

  • Oltre che nell’Epistola 153, la posizione di contrarietà alla pena di morte è ribadita da Agostino [...] nel capitolo 8 del Sermone XIII, con questa appassionata perorazione: «Noli ergo usque ad mortem, ne cum persequeris peccatum, [...] perdas hominem / Fa’ sì che la condanna dell’uomo non giunga fino alla morte, perché non accada che per punire il suo peccato tu lasci perire l’uomo»; «Noli usque ad mortem, ut sit quem poeniteat: homo non necetur, ut sit qui emendetur / Non una pena fino alla morte [...]: l’uomo non va ucciso, affinché possa emendarsi». As well as in Epistola 153, the stance against capital punishment is reiterated by [...] Augustine in chapter 8 of Sermo XIII, in this impassioned peroration: “Noli ergo usque ad mortem, ne cum persequeris peccatum, [...] perdas hominem/Ensure that the sentence of the man does not go as far as death, lest it happen that to punish his sin you lose the man”; “Noli usque ad mortem, ut sit quem poeniteat: homo non necetur, ut sit qui emendetur/Not punishment unto death [...] : the man is not to be killed, so that he may emend himself”. - Linguee  
  • A novembre 1908 ebbe luogo la prima americana al Metropolitan Opera di New York, dove un critico pubblicò alcune sue riflessioni sul difficile stato dell'opera post-wagneriana del tempo, con le due uniche eccezioni di Hänsel e Gretel e Salomè: se da una parte il primo atto dell'opera di d'Albert era considerato troppo lungo, dall'altra era indiscusso che [...] contenesse "le scene di gran lunga più brillanti e drammatiche, perorazioni profondamente commoventi ed emozionanti che l'opera moderna è in grado di mostrare In Novomber 1908 it had its American premiere at the Metropolitan Opera in New York., where a critic reflected on the parlous state of post-Wagnerian German opera at the time, with the two exceptions of Hansel und Gretel and Salome: while the first act of d'Albert's opera was considered too long, [...] the second was acknowledged to contain 'by far the most vivid and dramatic scenes, profoundly moving, thrilling perorations that modern opera can show. - Linguee
