This is one of two videos shared by If Wet Radio, of croix sonore player Marie-Antoinette Aussenac de Broglie playing her instrument. The composition is called ALL POWERFUL GOD BLESSES PEACE and is part of THE BOOK OF LIFE, by Russian composer, mystic (and inventor of the Croix), NIKOLAI OBUKHOV. I found this video fascinating and I have tried to enhance the sound which was way off balance. With a little research I discovered the film was made in 1934 (the year of Clara Rockmores theremin debut at Town Hall in NYC) by the French film maker Germaine Dulac. Dulac (née Germaine Saisset-Schneider in 1882) is as intriguing as the subjects in her video. She was a victim of, among other things, rampant anti-semitism in nazi-occupied France and when she died in 1942, local French newspapers did not even print her obituary. Theres a good article on her on Wikipedia for anyone interested. youtu.be/THBq3-7ldzo
