SONGS

1. LUXOR RISING
Notes: "Luxor Rising" is a fusion of Middle Eastern and Western rhythms and melody set at a very danceable 120 beats per minute. The only lyrics are "Allah Akbar." The implied message of the song is that there need be no divorce between Islamic spirituality and contemporary Western concepts of joy in life and personal liberty. When listening to "Luxor Rising," this theme is driven home with every joyful tap of the foot, and with every smiling nod of the head.

2. EARTH CHANT
Notes: "Earth Chant" is a spiritual view of our planet as seen from space. Spiritual humanity seeks to understand God, amidst the warring noises of technology and nature. The words and melody are from the 13th Century chant, Ave Maria. The words are in Latin: "Ave maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum, benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pronobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen." The translation in English for this is: "Hail Mary, with grace replete, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of the womb of thee, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and in the hour of the death of us. Amen."
