Allen, the leader of the Sun Ra Arkestra, is featured in the part of the
Egyptian god Sun Ra, in Dave Soldier’s new classical/jazz/electronic opera
based on the oldest musical score known, the <i>Eighth hour of the Book of the
Amduat</i>. In this version from 1425 BC, the sounds and music are clearly
specified during Sun Ra’s nightly travels on the underworld river to age, die,
and be reborn to rise again every morning. The ancient hieroglyphs are
translated to Italian by Egyptologist Rita Lucarrelli (professor at UC
Berkeley) and the parts of the other gods and demons are sung by mezzo soprano
(Sahoko Sato TImpone from the Metropolitan Opera) and a choir and by additional
improvisers (Dan Blacksberg, Nick Millevoi, Michael Winograd, Rebecca Cherry)
with a classical orchestra.</span><span style="font-size:13.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black"></span></div>
