Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 07 2000, 08:06 AFAIK there are no lyrics in Inc. 3 except for the melisms on "Diana, Luna, Lucina" from Part 1. There ARE lyrics in Inc. 2 and 4, and you can find 'em right here: www.tubular.net/lyrics . -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Pikalcazar Group: Members Posts: 93 Joined: Oct. 2000 Posted: Oct. 08 2000, 12:27 Oh thanks but I can hear girls singing at the end of part 3. I think that's part 3... Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 08 2000, 18:07 No, Pikalcazar...it's Part 4. The ending of Part 3 is just loud guitars and synths. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Pikalcazar Group: Members Posts: 93 Joined: Oct. 2000 Posted: Oct. 10 2000, 13:12 Aaaah, I understand now, thank you very much. So the excerpt in XXV album is from part 4... Back to top

Pikalcazar Group: Members Posts: 93 Joined: Oct. 2000 Posted: Oct. 15 2000, 11:43 Ok, now I have the album and I can hear the lyrics, it's really cool, but Mike repeats some parts in the entire album... Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 28 2000, 20:30 The only repeated lyrics are "Diana, Luna, Lucina", by the chorus, first in Part 1 and then somewhere in the middle of Part 3 [so, people on the mailing list arguing, some time ago, that Inc. was 4 totally independent parts are completely wrong!! ]. The other repetition only concerns the music: the same melody is used (with different arrangements) for Song of Hiawatha (end of Part 2) and Hymn to Diana (end of Part 4). -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Pikalcazar Group: Members Posts: 93 Joined: Oct. 2000 Posted: Oct. 31 2000, 13:11 Excuse me, "Hymn to Diana" is the same as "Ode to Cynthia"? Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: July 03 2001, 18:24 "Ode to Cynthia", on the cover, is wrong. The real title of Ben Jonson's poem is "Hymn to Diana" -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Scot Group: Members Posts: 17 Joined: May 2001 Posted: July 06 2001, 15:06 The lyrics from part 4: Queen and huntress, chaste and fair, Now the sun is laid to sleep, Seated in thy silver chair, State in wonted manner keep. Earth, let not thy envious shade Dare itself to interpose; Cynthia's shining orb was made Heaven to cheer when day did close. Lay thy bow of pearl apart, And thy crystal-shining quiver, Give unto the flying hart Space to breathe, how short soever. Hesperus entreats thy light, Goddess excellently bright. Bless us then with wished sight Thou that mak'st a day of night Back to top

Hillbilly Group: Members Posts: 51 Joined: June 2001 Posted: July 07 2001, 13:06 So this is really called "Hymn to Diana" even though Cynthia is mentioned in the lyrics? Maybe "Hymn to Cynthia" then? Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: July 08 2001, 02:05 Perhaps I should explain... See, I have, together with Mary-Carol, been researching this...the full revelations will be made in a web page fairly soon, but just to answer the question here: The poem goes under a various number of titles, as it actually comes from a play, and therefore was probably not given a title by Ben Jonson himself. Cynthia is one of the characters from the play - we could perhaps say, therefore, that Ode to Cynthia is more correct. Hymn to Diana is a more commonly used title, though. This is because Cynthia and Diana are the same person - Virgin goddess of the moon. More details will, as I said before, be available on the web very soon. Back to top
