STORMWORKS... CHAPTER TWO: Wende
A PERSONAL MESSAGE to LISTENERS from the Libretto of STORMWORKS... Chapter TWO CD
Carol played an instrument once banned by the Third Reich... so we talked. Her parents had once known Freedom, then the engulfing fury of the Nazis and the tumult of World War II. They endured the division of their country, the plight of the Cold War and the oppression of the Communists.
Old and almost finished with a single Lifetime we can only try to imagine, the Wall fell. Once again Carol's parents were thrust into a brave new world... of Freedom lost, now regained.
Four incredible Lifetimes later... yet lived in one solitary story in the great throng of Human evolution, Carol helped to name this second chapter in the Musical Story called STORMWORKS. "Die Wende", she said. "The Change".
This CD and its quiet message is respectfully dedicated to Carol and to all those who have stood on the precipice of disaster and turbulent upheaval... only to find that their spirit endured... that their Faith triumphed. Life is short. May this Music provide for you a theme, a pat on the back... a reminder that as we move into the next Millennium and beyond, that all of us, truly are.. brothers. Godspeed!
