Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Somewhere over the past few centuries, Latin became the "ominous" language. Maybe it's the fact that it's the language of a once mighty civilization from over a thousand years ago. Maybe it's because it's also the traditional language of the Roman Catholic Church, and thus associated with divine power, spirituality, mystery, death, and Dark Age Europe. And from there it's only a hop, skip, and a jump to the idea of magic—often bad magic.[1] And then there's the music with which Latin is often associated—for example, the unique sounds of the Gregorian chant—which can sound decidedly sombre, even spooky to a modern ear. Latin choirs also have those distinctive "ooh", "aah" and "ooo" sounds, rising powerfully and falling dramatically. |
