Kali-Yuga is a short symbolic piece for choirs representing in a simple almost child-like way the last days of the Kali-Yuga the Dark Age of Hinduism. We live in these days. The ugliness of the modern world is portrayedin the first two sections as the singers from Choir II are given a free rein to represent triviality in the first song and ugliness in the second while the singing chorus in Choir I describes the events in Schuon s Germanpoetry. The third section represents weeping humanity personified by the two women and two men from the choirs as the rest sing with great dignity and solemnity about the Kali-Yuga.The musical material is tightly knitthroughout and the performance should be as vivid and imaginative as possible.
