I'll check when I get home from work*, but I don't think I have the recording any longer (too dark for me).

IIRC all the text is taken from the OT book of Ecclesiastes and the Grand Inquisitor's monologue from Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, so you may already have the raw material at hand.  ;)

*Added: Sorry, I don't have the recording any more so can't check the booklet.

Speaking of Ecclesiastes...

Around this time every year I have usually played this for my Latin students in the 8th Grade to demonstrate the Latin gerund/gerundive: some have found the music of interest, and others came back years later and asked me: "What was the wild work that had 'Tempus' in it?"

Wild work indeed!   8)
