	Monk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At its height it was not uncommon for coenobitic monasteries to house upwards of 30,000 monks.
		Monks who have been ordained to the priesthood are called hieromonk (priest-monk); monks who have been ordained to the diaconate are called hierodeacon (deacon-monk).
		Monks wore a plain brown or fl cape and a cross on a chain around their neck; underneath, they wore a hair shirt to remind themselves of the suffering Jesus Christ had done for them.

		In the Roman Catholic Church the process of becoming a monk is marked by several distinct stages, which may vary depending on the particular tradition, order, or monastery.
		In several Western orders, there is a distincion between the choir monks (those who are or may become priests) and the lay brothers (who are occupied solely with manual labour and with the secular affairs of the monastery).
		Monks who have been ordained to the priesthood are called hieromonk (priest-monk); monks who have been ordained to the deaconate are called hierodeacon (deacon-monk).

		The choir is here terminated by an apse; and before the eastern addition was built in the fifteenth century, this apse, with the two lesser ones at the ends of the choir aisles, must have presented an appearance of much grandeur.
		In this plan the choir is represented as it was arranged in olden times, and not as it appeared after it was shortened by the erection of the organ-screen under the eastern arch of the tower in Dean Monk's time.
		Choir " 11 " 671 " Swell " 17 " 1,330 " Solo " 11 " 720 " Pedal " (Compass CCCC to F) 12 " 390 " [Illustration: Apse and Canopied Reredos.] =The Canopied Reredos= or =Baldachino= was given by the eight surviving children of Dean Saunders as a memorial of their parents.

		After a 15 year stay of the Monk German at Valaamo, the Lord summoned the humble monk to apostolic service and sent him to preach the Gospel and baptise the pagans of the sparsely populated and austere territory of Alaska and the islands of North America bordering on it.
		They wanted to ordain the monk to the dignity of priest-monk and make him archimandrite, but the humble monk refused thus to be elevated and until the end of his days he dwelt as a simple monk.
		This was situated in the cell of the Monk German during his lifetime: the elder loved and respected his celebrated contemporary and was of one accord with him in the great task in the fields of the Lord.

	Thelonious Monk - a biography
		Monk was Hawk's regular pianist when they went into the studio in October 1944 to record four tracks, On the Bean, Recollections, Flyin' Hawk, and Drifting on a Reed.
		The Forties though, were not particularly good times for Thelonious, for while he was as important a figure to the new music as Dizzy and Charlie Parker, he did not record to the same extent, and his erratic behaviour did not help him to get the kind of recognition he deserved.
		Thelonious Monk was becoming a popular jazz musician, something not dreamed of a dozen years earlier.

	CD Review of Thelonious Monk - Monk in Tokyo on Columbia / Legacy @ jazzreview.com
		Monk's harmonic sophistication was unparalleled, often laying down counterpoint shapes at odds with the particular tune's key signature, and always landing on the perfect chord at the most opportune moment.
		Monk never forgot that the piano is a percussion as well as a stringed instrument, playing the keyboard as if it were 88 tuned drums.
		Of course, Monk can be considered a "primitive" only in the broadest possible sense; his harmonic sophistication, melodic imagination, and rhythmic daring were anything but unpolished; there is, however, a Zen-like primal connection to the shadow world in his muse, an antenna tuned in to the primeval.

	Palimpsest Sep 1922 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		About the grounds were monks in white and monks in brown, mowing the thick turf of the grass plots, smoothing the gravel walks, trimming the deep-green arbor vitae hedge along the east side of the enclosure, and removing dead limbs from the pine trees.
		Soon after the sound died away the monks in white and monks in brown emerged one by one from the doors of the monastery—most of them wearing wide-brimmed straw hats, all with the lower part of the robe held up by a chain and strap arrangement fastened to the heavy leather belt.
		As soon as the choir brothers, all in white, had filed into the church and taken their stations in the choir stalls they loosened the heavy brass clasps of the huge Psalters and began the odd and fascinating chant-like recitation of the office.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Monk
		A monk may be conveniently defined as a member of a community of men, leading a more or less contemplative life apart from the world, under the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, according to a rule characteristic of the particular order to which he belongs.
		The word monk is not itself a term commonly used in the official language of the Church.
		"girovagi" (wandering monks), whom he strongly condemns as men whose religious life is but a pretence, and who do their own without the restraint of obedience.

	Libera (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Libera is the third 'public' name for the boys' section of a Church of England parish church choir from South London.
		As the name has changed at various times during the public performance life of the choir, the name in use at the relevant time will be used in each section.
		Although the choir mostly sings new compositions by Robert Prizeman, who still directs the choir, the new compositions contain elements of Gregorian chant and classical composers such as Debussy, Beethoven and Pachelbel.

		There were fewer and fewer large pieces of land, and the properties given to the monks for their subsistence, were no longer large pieces of cultivated land, as they had been in the past, but rather several small tracks spread around.
		Then, we are not in the presence of a class of monks who dedicate all their time to prayer and lectio divina and a class of brothers who do the manual work.
		Among the monks there were people from every class of society, including freed slaves, although it is true that the laybrothers were in most cases from the class of the illiterati.

	The Gray Monk: Musical treats
		These works are scored for choir and two organs, in this case the Consort used a top of the range electronic instrument as the "nave" organ with the Milton as the "Grand" Organ accompaniment.
		The Choir did a magnificent job of the vocal parts, with the Nave organ doing a fair job of accompanying them - but it was the Milton that made it's presence felt in no uncertain terms.
		The programme was varied and well balanced with pieces for flute and piano, choir only and choir accompanied by either organ.

	Music
		Monk, at six feet, three inches and 285 pounds, was a football and basketball star at Conway County Training School, in Conway, Arkansas.
		Monk attended Arkansas State, obtaining his Bachelor of Arts degree in music, and advanced music studies, at the Chicago School of Music.

		The throne itself is found in the stalls of the choir, distinguishable by its size and the richness of the carving.
		The power of the bishop was originally in the nature of head of a family of clergy, exercising power over property, finance, and most Church affairs, but the growth of the chapter caused his position to become an increasingly honorary one.
		Gradually the monk’s choir came to be enclosed by screens, and the transepts were moved westward.

		Following their astonishing climb to the top of Spain's pop charts this winter, the monks of Santo Domingo De Silos are set to release a repackaged version of their CD in the United States this month with Angel Records.
		Murphy predicted that the monks' 1,300-year-old melodies will appeal to a broad audience of people who tend to gravitate to the newest sounds.
		Yet Angel is banking on the talent of the artists themselves to replicate in the U.S. the kind of success their recording achieved in Spain.

	Contemplatives At The Heart Of The Church
		But even given the quiet that a monastery is expected to provide, the monk soon finds that the real noise is inside, that his heart is cluttered not just with memories but with bitterness, anger, rancour.
		One of the greatest achievements of the first Cistercians was to foster and encourage the vocation of the Lay brother, and despite the ups-and-downs of social and monastic history this type of monastic vocation has survived through the centuries.
		While every monk is meant to be a man of prayer, not every monk has to avail himself of this structure.

	Strata Florida Abbey
		The monks' choir, where the monastic services would have been sung, was built in the late 14th century, and the irregular stepped sunken basin in the centre of the crossing may be a late medieval, or even post-medieval insertion.
		The floor of the entire church east of and including the choir would have originally been tiled, and other smaller sections of plain tiled floor are preserved in various parts of the church.
		The monks readily adopted the pastoral agriculture of the area and were active in clearing and improving land, and in sheep breeding.

		It should be borne in mind that the substance of the law of recitation is fulfilled if the whole office of the day be recited before midnight, and that the obligation for entire and complete recitation is grave; while the recitation of the hours at set hours of the day is a light obligation.
		Canons and religious are bound to recite their office in choir; of course, this refers to Canons in residence at a cathedral for daily service, and to religious in the strict application of the term.
		Those who recite the office in choir are bound by the rubrics concerning kneeling, sitting, standing, etc. Secondly, they are bound to observe the rules of the liturgy, especially the rule as to the stop in each verse at the asterisk mark.

		After the necklace incident, Monk finds himself strait-jacketed in the "choir room" as the doctor's sinister aide goes upstairs for four cc's of Thorazine.
		Monk was celebrating not their wedding anniversary, but the anniversary of when they met--so it makes sense that he would return to the house that Trudy owned while they were dating.

		A monk's day began with the ringing of bells, some time between midnight and two a.m., signaling the first prayers of the day, which included hymns, psalms and readings.
		Around 11.45am the monks would conduct the Chapter Mass, which is similar to the Catholic service of today.
		If anyone was late and missed processing with the other monks, he would have to come in alone to the chapel and stretch himself out on the floor in the middle of the choir, as a sign of apology for being late.

	Granet-A Monk, Visiting a Fellow Monk
		This ink drawing of two monks in a penitentiary cell, from relatively late in the artist’s long career,[ii] is typical of his favored subject matter.
		From his Salon debut in 1799, when he exhibited a painting of the cloister of the Feuillants,[iii] to the end of his life, when he tackled subjects such as the Communion of the first Christians in the catacombs,[iv] Granet was preoccupied with depicting scenes of religious life from bygone eras.
		Granet’s highly successful ‘Capuchin Choir’ paintings, [vi] for example—showing a group of bearded friars in the choir of Santa Maria della Consolazione in Rome—were begun in 1810, the year after the Capuchin monastery had been shut down in the French annexation of the Papal States.
