University of Miami/Frost School of Music's Women's Chamber Ensemble performing in March, 2008. Conducted by Tobin Sparfeld.

The words are from an ancient curse: "To leave an enemy without an answer, say these words to him: 'Aglaria pidhol garia ananus qepta,' and blow in his direction. Then he will not know which way he is headed and cannot answer you." The entire composition represents the "casting" of that spell.

To leave an enemy without an answer say these words to him:

AGLARIA PIGHOL GARIA ANANUS QEPTA

and blow in his direction; then he will not know which way he is headed and cannot answer you....

We did this at UM about 8 years ago with a slightly bigger choir of women.....I think having a few more bodies filled out the sound and downplayed any rhythmicness. I agree that this version is good, but it could less organized and more like what the arranger was looking for.

The Vesna childrens choir one is creepier

[gar123321]

we have to sing this too. it's so strange.
