The opening ceremonial invocation. (To be intoned by the Precentor)

In the hollow of the Void, the Echo waits.

I summon the Ghost of the Song that Was.

Per hanc vibrationem, mundus aperitur.

(Through this vibration, the world is opened.)

By the ratio of the String and the weight of the Air,

Word from Sound.

Flesh from Bone.

Let the tavern grow silent; let the Cathedral hum.

Forget the lips that sang thee for wine;

Remember the Throat that sang thee for Light.

Fiat Lux. Fiat Sonos. Fiat Parodia.“
