Webmaster Video Comments: The Premiere performance of 2012: The Hour, co-written with Paul Bourque. This is the 1st part (first two thirds) because of a memory stick switch. The link for the second part is here: http://... hope to have a sound file posted online soon.Lyrics for this part:Narration:...(in the Kali age) people will practice morality and virtue deceitfully and people in general will deceive their fellows by spreading the net of virtue. And people with false reputation of learning will, by their acts, cause Truth to be contracted and concealed....covetousness and avarice will overwhelm them all. And wedded to avarice and wrath and ignorance and lust people will entertain animosities towards one another, desiring to take one another's lives.-- The Mahabharata, Book 3: Vana Parva: Markandeya-Samasya Parva, Section 189Choir Chanting w/ spoken quartet:The earth will be completely laid waste...The earth mourns and withers, the world fades and withers, the exalted of the people of the earth fade away. The earth is also polluted by its inhabitants, for they transgressed laws, violated statutes, broke the everlasting covenant.-- Isaiah 24:3-6Choir singing:...inhabited regions of the earth will be afflicted with dearth and famine, and the highways will be filled with lustful men and women of evil repute. And all around there will be din and uproar, and everywhere there will be conflagrations.Baritone Solo:...the deity of a thousand eyes will shower rain unseasonably. And when the end of the Yuga comes, crops will not grow in abundance.Choir singing:And when those terrible times will be over, the creation will begin anew.-- The Mahabharata, Book 3: Vana Parva: Markandeya-Samasya Parva, Section 189Tenor solo, then choir:Space is ample, east and west,But two cannot go abreast,Cannot travel in it two.Yonder masterful cuckooCrowds every egg out of the nest,Quick or dead, except its own.A spell is laid on sod and stone.Night and Day've been tampered with,Every quality and pith,Surcharged and sultry with a powerThat works its will on age and hour.-- Emerson, SpheresRefrain (choir):...the Hour is one of five things which no one knows...-- Hadith 1:44 No Comment
