Headmaster’s Assembly Thoughts on the Feast of St Cecilia 22 Nov 2024 7:01 AM (3 months ago)
St Cecilia
Good morning, gentlemen.
Today, on the feast of St. Cecilia, patroness of music, we have the opportunity to pause and think about one of the most profound gifts God has given humanity—the gift of music. St. Cecilia, a Roman martyr of the early Church, lived in a time of persecution, yet her legacy endures because of the song in her heart. According to tradition, as she faced suffering, she sang praises to God, her voice rising above earthly pain to join the harmony of heaven.
Music is more than an art or entertainment. It is, as Plato once said, “a moral law; it gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.” It connects us to something larger than ourselves, lifting us toward the eternal. Today, I invite you to journey through the history of music—from its ancient roots to the scientific discoveries and cultural revolutions that shaped it—before reflecting on its enduring power to transform the mind and soul.
The Mathematical Origins of Music: Pythagoras and the Harmony of the Spheres
Apollo and the Muses, Heinrich Maria Hess
Our journey begins in ancient Greece, where the philosopher Pythagoras, better known for his theorem, explored the relationship between mathematics and music. Pythagoras discovered that musical intervals—the distances between notes—could be expressed as simple ratios. The octave, for example, corresponds to a 2:1 ratio, while the perfect fifth is a 3:2 ratio. These discoveries laid the foundation for Western tuning systems and gave rise to the idea of the harmony of the spheres, the belief that the universe itself is ordered according to mathematical principles, much like a symphony.
This intersection of science and music reminds us of an essential truth: music is not arbitrary. It reflects the divine order of creation, the fingerprints of God in the mathematical beauty of sound.
The Birth of Western Music: Gregorian Chant, Polyphony, and Harmony
Fast-forward to the early Christian Church, where music took on a distinctly sacred character. Gregorian chant, with its single melodic line, was used to focus the mind on prayer. These chants, often based on ancient modes, were the first systematic attempt to use music as a medium for divine worship.
By the 9th century, a revolutionary development began: polyphony, the combination of multiple independent melodies. Composers like Léonin and Pérotin at Notre Dame Cathedral experimented with layering voices, creating music of unprecedented complexity and beauty. Polyphony paved the way for harmony, the simultaneous combination of notes to form chords. This shift from melodic to harmonic thinking transformed Western music and allowed for the emotional depth we associate with music today.
From Modal to Modern Scales: The Renaissance and Equal Temperament
During the Renaissance, composers like Josquin des Prez and Palestrina refined polyphony, creating music that balanced complexity with clarity. But as music evolved, so did its technical challenges. The medieval modes, with their constrained patterns, gave way to the modern major and minor scales, which offered greater flexibility and emotional range.
A pivotal moment came in the Baroque era with Johann Sebastian Bach and the development of equal temperament—a tuning system that divided the octave into 12 equal parts. Equal temperament made it possible to play in all keys without retuning instruments, a breakthrough immortalized in Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier, a collection of pieces demonstrating the system’s possibilities. This advancement not only expanded musical possibilities but also symbolized humanity’s ingenuity in harmonizing art with science.
The Rise of Recorded Music: A New Era
For centuries, music was an ephemeral art, heard only in the moment of performance. But the advent of recorded music in the late 19th and early 20th centuries changed everything. Thomas Edison’s phonograph, followed by radio, records, and eventually digital streaming, brought music to the masses. For the first time, people could hear the great symphonies of Beethoven or the operas of Verdi without setting foot in a concert hall.
Yet, this technological leap raises questions about our relationship with music. In an age of instant access, do we take music for granted? Do we truly listen, or has music become background noise? The challenge for our generation is to rediscover the depth and richness of music, to treat it not as a convenience but as a gift.
The Transformative Power of Music
Music is not just an intellectual or aesthetic pursuit; it has profound effects on the mind and body. Scientific studies have shown that music can improve memory, enhance cognitive function, and even promote physical healing. Listening to classical music, in particular, stimulates both hemispheres of the brain, fostering creativity and focus.
For children and young people, the benefits are especially striking. Learning to play an instrument develops discipline, patience, and problem-solving skills. Participating in a choir or orchestra teaches teamwork and emotional intelligence. Even simply listening to great music can reduce stress, inspire imagination, and provide solace in difficult times.
The Church has long understood this power. St. Augustine famously said, “He who sings prays twice,” reminding us that music is a form of worship, a way of drawing closer to God.
Stories of Great Composers
The lives of great composers offer us lessons in perseverance, creativity, and faith. Consider Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who composed symphonies and operas that still captivate listeners today. His genius reminds us of the extraordinary potential within each of us, especially when combined with dedication and discipline. He died at the age of 35 having composed over 240 hours of the most sublime music ever heard. He is unique in having worked so hard in such a short creative life.
Or think of Ludwig van Beethoven, who lost his hearing yet continued to compose some of the most powerful music ever written. His Ninth Symphony, with its triumphant “Ode to Joy,” is not just a masterpiece but a testament to the human spirit’s ability to triumph over adversity.
Gratitude for the Gift of Music
I am reminded of a song that was very popular when I was a boy:
“Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing/ Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty/What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we/So I say thank you for the music/ For giving it to me.” (Abba 1977).
As we reflect on this extraordinary journey—from Pythagoras to Bach, from Gregorian chant to modern symphonies, from live performance to digital streaming—let us not forget the source of it all. Music is a gift from God, a reflection of His infinite beauty and love.
In the words of Psalm 150: “Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
On this feast of St. Cecilia, let us be grateful for the gift of music. Let us honor the composers, performers, and teachers who have enriched our lives with their talents. And let us strive to use this gift wisely—to lift our hearts to God, to inspire others, and to find joy in the harmony of creation.
Thank you, and may the music of your lives be a song of praise and gratitude to God our Almighty Father. St Cecilia, pray for us.

Chavagnes International College: A French Boarding School for Boys with a Historic Soul 18 Nov 2024 10:54 AM (3 months ago)
Nestled in the rolling countryside of western France, Chavagnes International College stands as more than just a school; it is a living testament to the enduring ideals of faith, education, and tradition. Our story is deeply rooted in European history, embodying the ethos of a Catholic boarding school for boys committed to preserving a heritage that dates back centuries. Chavagnes housed a Roman villa, then a Benedictine monastery from the thirteenth century, France’s first junior seminary after the Revolution, and latterly an international Catholic College. On this site of holy learning, we seek to shape the future of our aspiring young leaders through a profound connection with the past.
A Historic Boarding School in France
History is not a dead letter at Chavagnes—it breathes in every stone of our campus. Originally established as a monastery in the Middle Ages, the site of our College has been a home to prayer and study for over eight centuries. To walk through Chavagnes is to journey through time, past chapels echoing with ancient chants, altars and walls containing the bodies of the saints, and halls that have heard the laughter, struggles, and triumphs of countless students.
Charles Péguy, the French poet and philosopher who inspires our annual participation in the Chartres pilgrimage, once said: “The modern world will not be punished. It is punishing itself.” Often, it seems that the young can be made to feel ashamed of their identity and of our great traditions. As Péguy once lamented: “It will never be known what acts of cowardice have been motivated by the fear of not looking sufficiently progressive” (Basic Verities). At Chavagnes, we aim to equip our boys with the faith, reason, and character to stand firm amidst the tide of moral and cultural uncertainty—a mission as pressing today as it has ever been.
A European Catholic Boarding School Rooted in Tradition
Europe, as the Anglo-Frenchman Hilaire Belloc declared, “is the faith—and the faith is Europe” (Europe and the Faith). That is why, at Chavagnes, our principal identity as a European Catholic boarding school is to cherish and transmit the heritage of Christendom. We are stewards of a living tradition that shapes not only the intellect but also the soul. Through daily Mass, prayer, and the cultivation of virtue, our boys grow into men of strong character, prepared to contribute to society with wisdom and grace.
Our commitment to preserving European culture extends beyond the classroom. From the annual pilgrimage to Chartres—where our students walk in the footsteps of medieval pilgrims—to the study of great works of literature, philosophy, and art, we strive to instil a love for what French author René Bazin describes as “La Douce France”: the France of faith, beauty, and truth. As Bazin wrote, “The true beauty of France lies not only in its landscapes but in its spirit.” At Chavagnes, we endeavour to instil this spirit in every student.
A Journey of Faith and Culture
At Chavagnes, our students embark on more than just an academic journey; they undertake a journey of faith and culture. Our French boarding school for boys provides a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the rich traditions of European Catholicism. It is a place where the past informs the present, where faith and reason walk hand in hand, and where young men are challenged to live out their calling with courage and conviction.
Join Us in Shaping the Future
If you seek a historic boarding school in France that offers more than an education—if you desire a formation steeped in faith, culture, and tradition—then we invite you to learn more about Chavagnes International College.

“C’est la parabole des talents appliquée à l’éducation scolaire” … témoignage d’un parent. 11 Nov 2024 11:30 PM (3 months ago)
« … Notre fils aîné était scolarisé depuis plusieurs années dans une grande institution scolaire catholique de Versailles, bien connue. Il est vrai qu’il préférait lire des ouvrages de pêche à la mouche ou de chasse à la bécassine et organiser des matchs de foot entre équipes de fourmis plutôt que d’étudier Thalès et Pythagore. Dans mes secrets de père, comme je le comprenais dans le fond ! Bref, l’institution nous l’a rendu (un 28 juin !) avec des commentaires alarmants et nous signifiant sa grande inquiétude sur sa capacité à poursuivre des études. Ni plus ni moins qu’une condamnation à mort scolaire; mais sans appel. Nous avons pris la décision radicale de le sortir de ce système français du « math ou crève » et de confier son avenir à Chavagnes International College. Bien nous en a pris.
Il a en peu de temps gagné en maturité et a rapidement trouvé un intérêt à apprendre. Mais il a surtout repris confiance en lui car les anglo-saxons ont cette capacité à promouvoir les qualités des élèves et de ne pas se focaliser sur leurs points faibles. Bref, c’est la parabole des talents appliquée à l’éducation scolaire. Dans un environnement catholique exigeant, l’enfant est fortement responsabilisé avec un « crédit de confiance » a priori. L’inverse de nos amis versaillais perpétuellement dans la suspicion. Le résultat est que notre fils devenu quasiment bilingue en quelques mois (l’obstacle de la langue n’en est pas un, que les parents en soient rassurés d’emblée), a réussi ses A-levels tout en passant son Bac en candidat libre. Après Chavagnes, il intégrera une bonne université britannique, passera un Bachelor en Management en deux ans au lieu de trois, puis un Master qu’il obtiendra avec Mention. Il «candidate» en ce moment sur les conseils de son directeur de Master pour un PhD à Oxford et à Cambridge. Nous remercions Monsieur McDermott et ses équipes d’avoir contribué à faire de notre fils ce qu’il est aujourd’hui , après sa condamnation sans appel par un certain système français réservé aux chevaux de course.

humanité et lucidité dans leur approche de mon enfant … 11 Nov 2024 11:27 PM (3 months ago)
« C’est en cherchant à faire vivre un trimestre en immersion anglophone à mon fils adolescent que je suis tombé sur cette étrange et exotique école : un collège anglais en plein bocage vendéen, un petit morceau de Grande Bretagne dans un village français ! Dès l’abord j’ai été séduit par le charme désuet qui émanait de l’alliance d’un décorum tout britannique avec le cadre nostalgique d’un pensionnat à l’ancienne, comme surgi du passé. Dans le réfectoire, des professeurs en toge noire plissée disant le bénédicité autour d’une table, sur une estrade dressée en face de leurs élèves rassemblés…. L’air heureux, la joie de vivre des enfants du collège sautait aux yeux, leur liberté d’allure allant de pair avec une extrême courtoisie, et cela m’a donné confiance.
Très tôt, par la suite, j’ai été frappé par le discernement empreint d’humanité et la lucidité dans leur approche de mon enfant, dont ont fait preuve les maîtres, et spécialement le Principal, M. Mc Dermott : signe de leur expérience éducative et de leur écoute attentive des jeunes.
Mon fils trouvait alors difficilement sa place dans le système scolaire français; il s’est tellement épanoui en quelques mois à Chavagnes qu’il a voulu rester l’année entière suivante. Il a trouvé là une vraie communauté éducative, c’est à dire un monde d’enfants et d’éducateurs vivant ensemble dans un climat de confiance, un climat marqué d’une grande liberté pour chacun à l’intérieur d’un cadre de discipline acceptée et de rigueur.
Je me suis senti un peu envieux des méthodes éducatives d’inspiration anglo-saxonne, qui se transposent si malaisément chez nous : la primauté donnée à l’épanouissement de l’enfant, la moindre obsession des performances purement scolaires, le souci de l’équilibre corps-esprit avec la place importante donnée, à côté de l’étude académique, au sport, au jeu, à la musique, au théâtre, etc. Et par dessus tout, le projet pédagogique de l’école est animé par le souci de transmettre aux enfants une éducation inspirée par les valeurs chrétiennes, car pour eux la croissance spirituelle ne se sépare pas de la maturation humaine et culturelle.
Outre qu’il y a acquis en peu de temps une réelle compétence en anglais et en espagnol, mon fils a eu, dans les mois qu’il a vécus à Chavagnes, l’immense chance de bénéficier d’un accompagnement personnel qui l’a aidé à grandir. »
