‘Canto fermo’ is the term for an existing melody used as the basis for a new composition.
The prose and poetry of mystics like John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila and Edith Stein – all informed by the Gospel – is my ‘melody’. The ‘new composition’ is this blog and my indie novel ‘The Age for Love’. To buy my book go to amazon.com or smashwords.com and download to your kindle, iPad, phone or any reading device.

THERE AIN'T NO SUCH WORD AS 'CORONIAL' (Letter to Dom Post, May 26)
Your reporter’s expression, ‘coronial inquest’ (Honour the heroes, May
26) has a mighty fine ring to it but he’d be better off saying ‘coroner’s
inquest’. There ain’t no such word as ‘coronial’.
