New Art Form? OOH! Opera Of History

 New Art Form? Someone invented the sonnet, the pianoforte, the symphony...Well, I thought some notes on Opera of History (OOH!) might be wise. 42 x4. And it's not chronological. It's theodicy and 'respondeo' (in the present, we must act/react to the past and future, though we will be changed (Rosenstock). Aristotle's 4 causes: first, blueprint; effecient, workers; material, bricks, wood...; final, what are you building? House, retail store...? The 4 come from the words of the Hebrew letters for the first word, bereshith. Consonants B--house, R--Head, SH--(fang) Eat, T--Cross. Also Acts 2:42. Add 'To Be Discovered' to 7,5,3, ..., 6, 4, 2 with Song of the Whole Bible. Put at '42' across 3 as 4 and 6, and 5 as 4 and 7. These 42s are voids/sabbaths/zeroes/unknown unknowns, etc. Fill in the 168 (42x4) with previous of my tries. Theodicy example: Mao tries to destroy Chinese churches, by scattering, each individual scattered starts a new church, China my become largest Christian nation. Don't forget E. T. Hall as 10x10 society in 'Silent Language'. ABCDEFG x 6 = 42, 4 notes like Beethoven's 5th.

Might be valuable? Here's the whole Bible in one song: You can 'compose' (rather amen) the whole Bible. The first 4 consonants B R SH T, through Ps. 119 as 3 sevens and a one gets you B F G A. Then up the scale of 7 covenants (Jordan's 'Through New Eyes' or 'Trees and Thorns') then down the black keys for Res. Asc. Pent. A. D. 70, until the last 4 as chords, reversing B R SH T to T SH R B, and ending in a blessed House (beth, first consonant) fellowship (Acts 2:42). Or not. Strength in weakness. From Jordan’s ‘Creation in Six Days’: Creation Week, 1 Adamic, 2 Noahic, 3 Patriarchal, 4  Sinaitic, 5 Kingdom, 6 Remnant, 7 Restoration, New Creation Week. P. 257. I heard that ‘Guitar Hero’ allows notes played to be transcribed into music written for singing.
