Prokofiev - Seven, They are Seven Cantata, Op. 30

Telal, telal, telal!

They are Seven! Seven!

In the depths of the ocean — seven of them!

High up in the heavens — seven of them! Seven!

In the mountains of Sunset seven are born, seven.

In the mountains of the East seven grow up, seven!

They sit astride thrones in the depths of the earth, the earth they sit.

Forcing their voice to thunder at the very summit peaks of the earth, the earth they do!

As one they engulf the limitless space

Of heaven and earth, they do!

Seven they are!

Seven, seven, seven, seven they are seven, seven they are!

Seven they are! Seven!

Telal, Telal! Telal! Telal!

They are Seven,

They are neither men nor women;

They have no wives; they do not give birth to sons.

Like the vagrant wind they are.

Like a net, they spread out, spreading, spreading, sweeping, sweeping.

Evil they are! Evil they are!

Goodness and welldoing are alien to them. They know no shame.

Prayers they hear not:

They are deaf to prayer.

They cause the Heavens and earth to shrink in size.

They shut the door on and lock away whole countries.

They grind whole peoples, like these peoples grind grain.

Seven there are! Seven there are! Seven there are! Seven there are!

Twice seven there are!

Spirit of the Heavens, spirit of the heavens, spirit of the heavens, exorcise them!

Exorcise them! Exorcise! Exorcise!

Spirit of the earth! Spirit of the earth! Spirit of the earth, exorcise them!

Exorcise, exorcise, exorcise!

Evil winds! Wicked tempests!

Parching vortex! Flaming whirlwind!

They are the day of sorrow! They are the day of revenge!

They are the heralds of horrific plague!

Seven gods of the immeasurable Heaven!

Seven gods of the immeasurable earth!

Seven omnipotent gods!

Seven wicked gods!

Seven devils screaming with laughter!

Seven geniuses of horror!

Seven are they, seven are they,

Seven of them!

Evil Telal! Evil Telal Alal!

Evil Gigim! Evil Maskim!

Evil God! Evil spirit! Evil demon!

Seven they are! Seven they are! Seven, seven!

Exorcise them, Spirit of the Heavens!

Seven, Seven of them!

Exorcise them, spirit of the earth!

Seven they are, seven they are!

Telal! Exorcise them, exorcise them! Exorcise!

You, spirit of the Heavens, exorcise them, exorcise them, exorcise them, exorcise them!

This music is practically biblical!

It is. The are from a poem Ancient Calls by Konstantin Balmont. It's about seven demonic gods who have power over the elements.

I am indeed. I played Tchaikovsky for my diploma, so he always has a special part with me. I love Stravinsky, especially "The Rite of Spring", and I love Rachmaninoff
and Shostakovich. :)
 
Vedrai, vedrai
Vedrai che cambierà
Forse non sarà domani
Ma un bel giorno cambierà

Vedrai, vedrai
No, non son finito, sai
Non so dirti come e quando
Ma un bel giorno cambierà
 
One of my sayings I use in my work:

If you want people's respect, then do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason.
