YOUTUBE-WETTBEWERB

KOMPONIEREN SIE EINE MELODIE
Die Gottesgärtner kannten viele Hymnen, die nicht in Das Jahr der Flut festgehalten wurden. Hier sind zwei davon. Schreiben Sie hierfür die Musik, nehmen Sie ein Musikvideo auf und laden Sie es auf den YouTube-Kanal (link www.youtube.com/yearoftheflood ) für das Jahr der Flut hoch. Die Gottesgärtner werden sich über Ihr Video freuen.

1. THE FESTIVAL OF NIGHT: For the Winter Solstice.
Oh God made the light and God made the night,
And each one needs the other –
So I praise the fox and the moth and the owl
And the wolf, he is my brother..

Oo-oo, listen to them prowlin’,
Oo – oo, listen to the howlin’

Oh where have you been when they thought you were dreamin,
You were hunting with the wolf’s eyes,
And that’s how you know you can see in the dark,
And find your way to sunrise.

Oo-oo, listen to the prowlin’,
Oo-oo, listen to them howlin.”

2. THE KUDZU MOTH: For Saint Maria Sybilla Merian of Metamorphosis.
The Kudzu Moth, the Monarch bright, from flower to flower they fly,
With glowing wings they fan the air, sweet Lepidopterae!
They only have the briefest spam of time in which to shimmer:
When seasons turn their colours fade, their painted wings grow dimmer.

But dare we say their tiny lives are spent in celebration,
At  one with all the joys of Earth, the dances of Creation?
Oh Butterflies, teach us your ways – to spend each hour and day

As if it were a song of praise, or else Eternity.
