In his talk A Missa brevis for Jumping Timelines , Dr. Matthew Arndt proposes to listen to the Missa brevis Abbaye de Thélème (sung by Anika Kildegaard) synchronized with the drama Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade . Here is a playlist with the first part of the movie synchronized to the nine movements of the mass: Indiana Jones and the Abbey of Thelema on youtube .

On Feb 21, 2024, Associate Professor of Music Theory Matthew Arndt gave a presentation on my Missa brevis Abbaye de Thélème . This presentation opened the roundtable event organized with poet and author Christopher Merrill, and Professor Kristy Nabhan-Warren. Dr. Arndt sets his analysis of the mass in resonance with the writings of Philip K. Dick (Graphics by Dr. Arndt). He also proposes an analogy with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon , and a synchronization with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade . I hope you enjoy!
