Music on this Monday morning.
July 22, 2024 – the Sun has entered Leo (creative arts).
Note: Night Light News is updated – it will change on Thursday.
Today –
The moon is in Aquarius (the unfolding era, era of knowledge
& era of freedom for the people after a great battle takes place).
Sun opposite Pluto – the battle leading to a transformation
seems over there somewhere but it is now present everywhere.

Music with a message.
Melania wrote in her letter to the people that her husband loves music.
And so…
Sung at the RNC – Nessun Dorma (None Shall Sleep).
(this song “Nessun Dorma” can be heard during the ending scene of The Sum of All Fears, a 2002 spy thriller based on the Tom Clancy novel of the same name starring Ben Affleck as Jack Ryan.)

Note the last lines of the aria. A message to the dark forces.

‘Nessun Dorma’ (aria) is from the opera Turandot (a Princess), it is sung in Act III of Puccini’s 1924 opera. The aria is performed by the opera’s protagonist, Calaf (a young prince) who falls in love with Princess Turandot. To win her hand, Calaf must answer three riddles. Before the aria, is sung, Calaf has successfully answered all three of the Princess’ riddles – her peculiar prerequisite for suitors wishing to marry her – but she is still rebuking his advances.
The libretto to ‘Nessun Dorma’ tells of how Calaf is sure in his plans to marry the princess as he has challenged her to find out his name by morning; if she cannot learn his name by the time the sun rises, she has to marry him.
English lyrics (below) to Nessun Dorma, 3rd act of Puccini’s 1924 opera Turandot.
Pavarotti was to sing Nessun Dorma at the 1988 Grammys, but he became ill & Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, stepped in.

Here are the Lyrics
None shall sleep,
None shall sleep!
Even you, oh Princess,
In your cold room,
Watch the stars,
That tremble with love
And with hope.
But my secret is hidden within me,
My name no one shall know,
No… no…
On your mouth, I will tell it,
When the light shines.
And my kiss will dissolve
the silence that makes you mine!
(No one will know his name
and we must, alas, die.)
Vanish, o night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win!
I will win!
I will win! (end of aria)
