Thread Name: Origins: Ezekiel Saw the Wheel
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Ezekiel's Wheel
From my days working with choruses and church choirs,
I remember a choral arrangement of "Ezekiel Saw The Wheel"
that met with great favor.

The men's parts were put to work chanting
'wheel in a wheel in a wheel in a wheel' to a simple rhythm
and melodic phrase,
and it was like a perpetual motion device.
The men kept this up for several pages straight,
while the women's sections sang the text and the melody.
It was all very stirring.
