In Greek, the word "apokalypsis" does not denote the end of the world. It simply means a "revelation" or "a removal of a covering." Revelation 1:10, 4:2, 17:3 and 21:10 describe its author, John, as being "in the Spirit" as he received the revelatory visons. The Greek word for "Spirit" is "pneuma," literally meaning wind. Thus, this features the winds to bring forth the Revelation.

This piece is based on Paul’s prophetic writing to the church at Thessalonica, "For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night." (2 Thessalonians 5:2, NASB) The world sleeps unsettledly as wars and rumors of wars circulate. Tension mounts and relaxes. From no where, as loud and high trumpet blasts followed by panic and the removal of those who took the high road. After realizing what happened, those left behind struggle through anger, chaos and confusion, which eventually fades back into the sleepless night.

Which method of viewing music should I use?

Score Exchange has two methods to display previews of music: seView which uses regular html and javascipt and the Scorch plug-in from Avid which needs to be downloaded and installed onto your computer. Both have advantages and disadvantages:

seView

seView, is the most compatible option. You should be able to view music on all modern web browsers including most mobile devices. Even if your device does not support javascript you should still be able to preview at least page one of the music.

You do not need to install any additional software to use seView.

Scorch

Scorch is a free plug-in from Avid for displaying and printing music. It can also play the music that you're seeing. As modern web browsers are updated, Scorch is no longer compatible with many browsers. Scorch has never been compatible with mobile devices and some web browsers on Mac computers.

If your web browser does not install Scorch automatically, you can click here to download and install scorch manually.
