LUBOMYR MELNYKCONCERT PERFORMANCE OF EXCERPTS FROM « THE UNDENDING BOOK OF ENDLESS SONGS, HYMNS AND PRAYERS » for solo pianoMALMÖ KONSTHALL04.12.1977

Excerpt from the exhibition poster

"What need is there of my music in Heaven? When there, all Being exists in knowledge of Eternity and fulfillment. Surely my work, this music, will end as must these buildings and constructions of our society in steel, concrete and even wood. My work too must pass into dust, I can not take it with me any more than I can take money or clothing or my body. All these gifts are left behind, gifts that are not necessary to our goal of life. Just so I play on this Time, Waiting. I send these sounds on ahead of me. To thank for this Time which was given Time enough for giving Thanks. For this reason, there is no time definition from within this music. In my human-being-ness these pieces come to an end, but they are not meant to."
