Artistic Video Created by Gavin Coll Producer: Desmond Earley During this difficult time of social distancing, The Choral Scholars bring you 'Body of the Moon'. As Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) reminds us in the text, we are all connected to each other through our common humanity (Siamo unite da legami invisibili - we are united by invisible ties). Commissioned by All Classical Portland radio network to mark the occasion of the total solar eclipse in 2017, Body of the Moon–based on the texts of Galileo–captures the sense of awe fostered by witnessing such a galactic occurrence. Body of the Moon was broadcast across the Pacific Northwest of the United States as millions experienced the totality of the solar eclipse. The phenomenon of the eclipse is represented by the lyrical cello line as the choir gives voice to the words of Galileo: ‘Vedere il corpo della luna/Behold the body of the moon’! The bass drum represents the vastness of our solar system, and a lone, vocal improvisation speaks to the personal experience of this magical moment. The piece appears on our album Perpetual Twilight, which derives from the phrase ‘perpetuo crepuscolo’ which is also drawn from the writings of Galileo. Galileo’s entire phrase ‘we had perpetual twilight and never darkness’ is a poetic description of experiencing the eerie phenomenon of a total solar eclipse. Lyrics: Vedere, il corpo della Luna (Behold, the body of the moon) Siamo unite da legami invisibili (We are united by invisible ties) We had perpetual twilight and never darkness. Perpetuo crepuscolo; Vedere! (Perpetual twilight; Behold!) Sunlight fading, Night comes, surrounding; Sunlight waning, Feel these questions inside of me. Change this moment; I need it once upon a lifetime; To feel it change, to open: Lord inside of me, free this light! Let it go! Let it be! Live in this moment; Feel this power inside of me! Take a chance. Take a chance, To wonder, to ponder, To understand feelings, This life, beauty, Around me! Vedere, il corpo della Luna (Behold, the body of the moon) Siamo unite da legami invisibili (We are united by invisible ties) Vedere!
