00:00:02.220 --> 00:00:04.230 align:middle line:90%
Good afternoon and welcome.

00:00:04.230 --> 00:00:05.640 align:middle line:90%
Delighted to see you all.

00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:08.530 align:middle line:90%


00:00:08.530 --> 00:00:13.890 align:middle line:84%
Pleasure to get an
opportunity to work with Gerry

00:00:13.890 --> 00:00:18.390 align:middle line:84%
It may be helpful to you
to set aside the knowledge

00:00:18.390 --> 00:00:22.200 align:middle line:84%
that English is your first
language for those of you

00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:26.970 align:middle line:84%
who can claim that
dubious honor.

00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:31.020 align:middle line:84%
And possibly you might want to
go one step further, and forget

00:00:31.020 --> 00:00:36.270 align:middle line:84%
that you know any English at all
for the first few pieces here.

00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:42.360 align:middle line:84%
Because this is a little
segment from a new work

00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:46.260 align:middle line:84%
called "Lauds" which
is songs of praise.

00:00:46.260 --> 00:00:51.570 align:middle line:84%
And I suppose you could take a
little hair of a relationship

00:00:51.570 --> 00:00:53.790 align:middle line:84%
to what Gerry just
talked about in terms

00:00:53.790 --> 00:00:59.460 align:middle line:84%
of being schooled in that
Catholic sister tradition.

00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:02.610 align:middle line:84%
And it may have a
different feeling.

00:01:02.610 --> 00:01:05.730 align:middle line:84%
So we'll just leave
English behind

00:01:05.730 --> 00:01:08.970 align:middle line:84%
and if you'll listen to
the sounds of these words

00:01:08.970 --> 00:01:11.550 align:middle line:84%
for the purpose of
lauds and possibly get

00:01:11.550 --> 00:01:13.740 align:middle line:90%
a different feel for it.

00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:16.830 align:middle line:84%
Don't worry about what
the words sound like.

00:01:16.830 --> 00:01:19.900 align:middle line:90%
The first piece.

00:01:19.900 --> 00:01:24.760 align:middle line:84%
"Even as one goes away the
lift is beautiful and lingers.

00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.930 align:middle line:84%
Given name mouthed,
breathed upon to open,

00:01:28.930 --> 00:01:33.200 align:middle line:90%
thus prepares to sing timbrel.

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:35.570 align:middle line:90%
The praise is we do work.

00:01:35.570 --> 00:01:40.460 align:middle line:84%
Praise opens out a pray
cease and velocity to norm

00:01:40.460 --> 00:01:43.790 align:middle line:90%
while shepherds amble home.

00:01:43.790 --> 00:01:50.930 align:middle line:84%
One drives back into the parish
to co-mingle with, with, with--

00:01:50.930 --> 00:01:56.030 align:middle line:84%
limbrisity is whose,
this soft song light.

00:01:56.030 --> 00:01:59.450 align:middle line:84%
A temblor can be
beached once seen.

00:01:59.450 --> 00:02:04.040 align:middle line:84%
The indelible commencement
trawls for old equipment.

00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:08.509 align:middle line:84%
Mainframe has rescinded
oligarchic sprawl.

00:02:08.509 --> 00:02:11.780 align:middle line:84%
Come to mama pinprick
and be shawled.

00:02:11.780 --> 00:02:17.750 align:middle line:84%
Days broken into, now the
tall due West forth comes.

00:02:17.750 --> 00:02:20.240 align:middle line:90%
We're stunners and we're sunned.

00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.230 align:middle line:84%
Depreciate your betters and
then thumb to just before you

00:02:24.230 --> 00:02:27.140 align:middle line:84%
get to California
where the rubies

00:02:27.140 --> 00:02:32.500 align:middle line:84%
and the tincture and the lariat
turns synonymous with sponge."
