Product Description

Paradise Lost by The English poet John Milton is an epic occupying twelve books, totalling more than ten thousand five hundred lines. It retells the tale of the Fall of Mankind the moment when Eve was enticed by Satan to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge and then tempted Adam to do the same, and as a result both were banished from the Garden of Eden. Milton imagines far more detail than the Holy Bible.

This song presents the story from Adams point of view, so I selected relevant passages in Paradise Lost, where Milton imagines Adams thoughts and experiences; and I edited them for scansion, to suit a more modern ear, and to make a logical sequence of events.

Adam bemoans the deception of Eve by the Serpent and his own shame. Then he hears Archangel Michael pronounce the couples sentence of banishment from Eden. Next he laments his having to leave Eden. Michael warns him that there will be consequences for all his descendants, and he is given a vision of those horrid consequencesmurder, disease and misery. They leave Eden, and Adam hymns of his renewed worshipful attitude, of a final acceptance of their new more ordinary life.

DURATION: 11 minutes.

INSTRUMENTATION: Tenor(c to top c), with either a reed quartet (Oboes, Clarinet and Bassoon) or string quartet. Dress optional.
