FINAL NOTICE – LANA Study Group Begins February 24 – RSVP Required

LANA is initiating a study group for members and friends! It will be held via Zoom at regular intervals, and the subject matter will be related to the lyre, to music inspired by anthroposophy, and to the Movement for Musical Renewal.

Madonna Tempi Raphael

Our first study will be a reading and review of Reinhold Faeth’s article entitled ‘The Madonna Pentagram’, where he outlines the reasons for revising the order of the Madonna Sequence images.  It was published in Zeitschrift Seelenpflege, January 1998.  In 2002, Raffael-Verlag, publishers of ‘Madonnen Bilder’ prints and cards, adopted a revised sequence of these paintings, based on this article. Our study will use the English translation by David Barford and Rose Edwards, January 2003. Because the order of the pictures differs from that traditionally used, we felt it would be helpful to share this article and give others the opportunity to work through this important and well-presented content.

The study will begin on Saturday, February 24 and continue monthly for 4 sessions. In order to accommodate LANA members from different parts of the world who have already expressed an interest to participate in this study, we have made the time decision as follows: 1300 EST, 1200 CST, 2100, 1900 France, 2000 in Israel, and 700 (Sunday) in Wellington, New Zealand.

Please RSVP via email to Debbie Barford dsbarford@yahoo.com.

Zoom invitation will be sent upon receiving your RSVP, along with further suggestions for study materials.

Sets of Madonna cards and large prints are available in the LANA Store.
