Oy, da rasprekrasnen’koe
Traditional Russian Folk Song
Translated by Emma Daniels
Oy, da rasprekrasnen’koe
oy da bezabotnoe
devushkoy da zhi’tyo.
Devchonkoy zhit’yo tso.
Da u kovoto roditeli zhivi,
da tem gulyan’utse,
volyushka li to dana.
Oh, how beautiful,
Oh, how carefree is this girl’s life.
Oh, what freedom have those girls
Whose parents are still alive.

The Selfsame Song
By Thomas Hardy
A bird sings the selfsame song,
With never a fault in its flow,
That we listened to here those long
Long years ago.
A pleasing marvel is how
A strain of such rapturous note
Should have gone on thus till now
unchanged in a note!
—But it’s not the selfsame bird.—
No: perished to dust is he....
As also are those who heard
That song with me.

Gravitas
Music and lyrics by Michael Frank
Narrated text from “Mr g” by Alan Lightman
The void served as a gracious receptacle for my thoughts. It was my playground of ideas. The void had always vibrated with
the music of my thoughts, but before the existence of time, the totality of sound occurred simultaneously, as if a thousand,
thousand notes were played all at once…”
Now I could hear one note following another, cascades of sound, arpeggios, glissades. I could hear melodies and rhythms and
metrical phrases gathering up time in lovely folds of sound. In every place and in very moment, I was wrapped and engulfed
in music. At times, the music poured forth in fierce heaving swells. At other times, it advanced in the softest little steps,
delicate as a fleeting veil in the Void. Music clung to my being as parcels of emptiness had in the past. Music went inside of
me. I had created music, but now music created. It lifted and remade, and formed a completeness of being.
In the beginning there was no light, no light… There was sound…There was Music.
