To the Earth, Mother of all,
\nI will sing the well established, the oldest,
\nWho nourishes on her surface everything that lives.
\nThose things that walk upon the holy ground,
\nAnd those that swim in the sea,
\nAnd those that fly in the air,
\nAll these are nourished by your abundance.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is thanks to you if we humans have healthy children,
\nAnd rich harvests.
\nGreat Earth, you have the power to give life to,
\nAnd to take it away from creatures that must die.
\nHappy are the ones whom you honor with your kindness and gifts. What they have built will not vanish,<\/em><\/p>\n

Their fields are fertile. Their herds prosper.
\nAnd their houses are full of good things.
\nTheir cities are governed with just laws. Their women are beautiful.
\nGood fortune and wealth follow them.
\nTheir children of radiant with the joys of youth.
\nThe young women play in the flowery meadows,
\nDancing with happiness in their hearts.<\/em><\/p>\n

Holy Earth, undying Spirit,
\nSo it is with those whom you honor:
\nHail to you, Mother of life,
\nYou who are loved by the starry sky,
\nBe generous and give me a happy life in return for my song,
\nSo that I can continue to praise you with my music.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n

Dirk Rothbrust<\/strong> performed\u00a0to the earth<\/em> by Frederic Rzewski<\/strong> live to tape for our Lockdown Tapes series.<\/p>\n

His thoughts about this piece:<\/p>\n

With the tuning fork in the DIY store in front of the flower pot shelf.<\/em>funny !<\/em>How “serious” does Rzewski mean the hymn to the earth actually?\u00a0 Is it kitsch, is it an appeal to us all?<\/em>funny ? Not really.
\nUnfortunately, the relevance of the text cannot be beaten.<\/em><\/p>\n
