The choral work GOTT on a poem by Bô Yin Râ, from Life In The Light: GOD
In all forms / Former and design, / In all life/ Procreation and preservation, / Holding in unity / The fullness of all numbers / God is himself the content / And the shell of the content. / The Eternal One / Sets himself /
In "space" the "time", / And yet remains eternal /
Eternity itself. (Transl. H. Bakker)
(Original German text, see below in Comment)
This work belongs to the Cycle of Choirs Praśasti, nr.4. These choir works are in a way music between heaven and earth as I want to sing a hymn to the glory of the presence of the divine, as it is inscribed in the book of nature. Praśasti (Sanskrit) means: inscriptional panegyric in honor of a king. Panegyrics were popular in late classic Sanskrit literature, but we can already find examples of the religious-magical purpose of the genre in Rigveda, Mahabharata and Ramayana: "to say a thing in ritual is to bring it to pass by mystical indentification." (Ingalls, 1972, p.211)

Performed and recorded by Kühn Choir Prague in 2012 on the CD Seeking & Finding (Navona Records, NV5877);
