"Veritas" (truth) is engraved on the school emblem. To make it relavent, [V-E-R-I-T-A-S] in musical notes is [la-mi-re-ti-fa-la-mi]. The opposite of "truth" is "Falsitas" (untruth), which is [fa-la-mi-mi-ti-fa-la-mi]. The two motives go against each other, and the conflict is a main theme of the music as well.
Truth seems too formal and rigid at times, while untruth makes people feel playful and fun. Play the music with that thought in mind.
