Well,I never realised someone had set the whole thing to music.

And thank for pointing out the error so I could correct it. With no one to proofread the occasional one is bound to creep in

“Itaipú originated as Glass’ response both to nature and to a modern technological wonder, in this case the massive hydro-electric dam… While the music itself hymns the wonder wrought by nature and by humankind, the exotic text recounts the creation of the world, the actions of the gods and how the first people came to this special place.”

BTW, there is a slight error in your first paragraph. Should be “span the Rio PARANA.”
