In thisverison from 1425 BC, the sounds and music are clearly specified duringSun Ra’snightly travels on the underworld river to age, die, and be reborn to riseagain every morning. The ancient heiroglyphs are translated to Italian byEgyptologistRitat Lucarrelli (professor at UC Berkely) and the parts of the other gods anddemons are sung by mezzosoprano (Sahoko Sato TImpone from theMetropolitanOpera) and a choir and by additional improvisers (Dan Blacksberg, NickMillevoi, Michael Winograd, Rebecca Cherry) with a classical orchestra,. In thisvideo premiere of the opera, Soldier has animated the ancient book from 3500years ago. MarshallAllen plays the alto saxophone and EWI electronic wind instrument as Sun Ra,who doesn’t speak in the book but calls the other gods and demons,and this 96year old master musician, performing in a version of the world’s oldest musicaltext, sounds more Futuristic than anyone else ever has. The Book of the Amduat is painted on wallsin the tombs of the Valley of the Kings and many papyri, using the version inTuthmose III's tomb, who ruled Egypt from 1485-1431 BC. He is widely thought tobe the Pharaoh of Exodus: if it wasn't him, it was a close relative. Heco-ruled at first with the female Pharaoh, Hatsepsut, and was great grandfatherto Akhenaten. He built the obelisks known as Cleopatra's Needle, one of whichis on the Thames in London, and the other is near East 81st street in Central Parkin New York City. Each morning, Sun Ra emerges from a hole in the east andsails on a river through our sky. After he descends he continue from west toeast on the river through the underworld, the Amudat, to reemerge in themorning. Each night he dies, but is reborn in the 6th night hour when he uniteswith Osiris and defeats the serpent, Apep. The piece takes place during the8th hour of the night, Mistress of deep night, in the city of the 8th hour,Sarcophagus of her gods. Sun Ra and his companions on the boat are being hauledby a choir on the underworld river. During the hour they are clothed andencounter other gods who live in ten caverns along the shore, along with livingknives who defeat their enemies and four sacred rams. By earliest sound score,Dave Soldier means that the specific sounds from each group of gods in eachcavern of the city are described quite literally during the trip.
