About this work

The seven creations is a concert-length a cappella opera that recounts the creation story of the ancient Zorastrians. This composition is the result of two separate sojourns to Bombay, India (in January 2005 and January 2007), and my friendships with Nariman, Coomi, and Sorab Wadia, who were my first exposure to this fascinating culture and faith. Zoroastrianism is arguably the world’s first monotheism, and was the most populous faith on earth during the life of Christ. Even though Zoroastrianism began in what is today modern Iran, north India is home to most Zoroastrians (who are known as Parsis, to differentiate them from Zoroastrians in Iran, called Iranis). In India, Bombay is among the most densely-populated enclaves of Zoroastrianism, a faith which predates and has influenced the most populous religions on the planet: including Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam.

While I was in Bombay, Nariman Wadia was kind enough to arrange for me the opportunity to research Zoroastrian texts at the Cama Oriental Institute. While there, I was able to read from copies of the Avesta (the compiled sacred texts of the Parsis), including the Gathas and an ancient copy of the Persian cosmology, called the (Greater Iranian) Bundahišn. While the Bundahišn is a document with its recorded origins in the 6th or 7th century CE, the Gathas are hallowed as the words of Zarathuštra (known as Zoroaster in Greek). The Gathas are most likely the oldest music in recorded history, and have been handed down by the rote oral memorization of Zoroastrian priests (or dastur), from father to son, since Zoroaster first uttered them. Some think that Zoroaster lived between 1500 and 2000 years before Christ, perhaps 4000 years ago.

The language of the Gathas is so old that, when Zoroastrian priests finally decided to record them in the 6th century, they had to invent a phonetic alphabet to do so. At that time, the priestly class spoke Middle Persian (or Pahlavi), which was the language of the Bundahišn. However, the language of the Gathas, which only priests could speak or understand, had been so pristinely preserved that it contained many sounds that were foreign to the vernacular. So, the priests invented a language to record the Gathas, and since the language and its script were meant only for this sacred text, they called it Avestan. This is the beautiful font that you will find throughout the texts and translations of this entire cosmological cycle.

The relationship between the Gathas and the Bundahišn, even over such a vast stretch of time, is truly remarkable. The hymns of Zarathustra ask so many questions about the origins of the universe, and the cosmological text from two millennia later answers them in great and beautiful detail – always acknowledging the cosmic balance between good and evil, and emphasizing the human choice between the two that is so essential to the Zoroastrian faith.

A synopsis of The seven creations would go something like this. Ahuramazda and Ahriman are the universal deities of good and evil. Before the beginning of time, Ahriman climbs out of the abyss and attacks Ahuramazda on high. Ahuramazda chants the ancient melody of the Ahuna var, and stuns Ahriman into submission. While he is unconscious, Ahuramazda creates the world, which takes seven forms: the Sky, the Water, the Earth, the Plants, Gav (the first animal, an ox), Gayomart (the first human), and the Fire (that which is sacred to all Zoroastrians). After these seven, Ahuramazda creates the Sun, the Moon, the Stars (including the zodiac), and his six avatars: the Holy Immortals. Alongside Ahuramazda, the Holy Immortals become the caretakers for each of the seven creations. When he comes to, Ahriman attacks each of the seven creations, bringing death and destruction to each, but also contributing to the beautiful form of the world as we know it. Ahriman is vanquished by the Sky Warrior and the Frahvars, and thrown into Hell. The world is then repaired by Tištar, the Wind Warrior, the Tree of Life, and of course, Ahuramazda himself. Although Gav and Gayomart perish, their legacy lives on in the multiplicity of animal species and humankind, and their essence is enshrined in the Sun and the Moon, to reflect upon our world and remind us of their sacrifice at the beginning of time. Throughout the narrative of this cosmology, verses from the Gathas are interspersed, concluding with the most joyous strains that refer to Heaven with the unforgettable moniker: “the House of Song.” What choral singer or enthusiast wouldn’t love to endorse such a description of the afterlife?

I must acknowledge the writings of Mary Boyle and Raiomond Mirza, as well as the library of Mark Ketter, who helped me immensely with gaining the cultural context to undertake writing this piece. The timeless melodies of the Gathas included in this composition were given wonderful voice by Ervad Aspandiyar Dadachanji. There are so many people to thank for making this work possible: from Pervez, who fixed my dying computer in a single afternoon, to Bobbo, the British Airways agent who found my missing luggage. I also have to acknowledge the kindness of Mary Wieneke, who allowed me to work on movements IV and V at her camp at Bear Island, New Hampshire, and the patience of Jon Seydl and Daniel McLean, who provided the solace for movements VI and VII in Cleveland, Ohio. However, none of this would have been possible without generosity of the Wadia family: Sorab, Coomi, and most of all, Nariman. I will always cherish your kindness and grace.

Now I shall speak, for all who will listen,Of the two spirits created by Ahuramazda;I shall chant unto the Wise Lord,And in praise of Love;I shall tell the sacred story of Truth,So that you shall a� ain the perfection of heavenly light. (G 30:1)

Listen to these wonderful truths,And consider them with an illumined mind,Before you decide between the two paths, —Each one of you for yourselves —Before the great new era is ushered in,Indeed, each of you will awaken and spread this message. (G 30:2)

In the beginning, there were two spirits,Who revealed themselves as independent twins;Yet in their thoughts, in their words,And in their deeds, these two represented good and evil;Among these two, the Good Spirit chose the wise path,And the Evil Spirit chose the path of foolishness. (G 30:3)

When these twin spirits came together,At the very beginning, they createdAll that is positive and negative, life and death alike;In this way, the purpose of creation shall be fulfi lled, —Darkness will be for those who cling to falsehood,And minds that seek the truth will brightly shine. (G 30:4)

I will say this much more about the twin spirits of creation,When, at the beginning, Good spoke to Evil, saying:“Neither our thoughts, nor our teachings, nor our wills,Neither our choices, nor our words, nor our deeds,Neither our selves, nor our souls will ever agree.” (G 45:2)

So it began:Ahuramazda was at the highest pinnacle,

Due to his all-knowing and good nature,For infi nite time, he resided in the Light. (B 1:1)Ahriman resided in the Darkness,Due to his backwards thinking and destructive nature,He was in the deepest abyss. (B 1:3)

Between these two spirits, there was a void,Which some called “Air,”And here is where these two were joined. (B 1:5)The highest pinnacle was called “Endless Light,”And the deepest abyss was called “Endless Darkness.” (B 1:7)These creature remained in a spiritual state, that is:Unthinking, unmoving, and untouchable. (B 1:14)

The Evil Spirit, in his backwards thinking,Was unaware of the existence of Ahuramazda.Then, he rose up out of the abyss,And arrived at the region of the luminous stars. (B 1:15)When he saw Ahuramazda,Surrounded by light and such an untouchable luster,His destructive desire and malicious nature took over,And with the intent to destoy him, he a� acked! (B 1:16)

Thereupon, Ahuramazda spoke, saying:“You are not omnipotent, O Evil Spirit;This means you cannot destroy me!” (B 1:24)Then, Ahuramazda chanted the ‘Ahuna var:’

“As a sovereign leader is all-powerful,So the spiritual teacher is all-wise, by his great Truth;The gi� s of Love are bestowed upon thoseWho perform good deeds for the Lord of creation;Indeed, the Strength of Ahuramazda will be grantedUnto those who are shepherds for the meek.” (AV)

This song brought forth a vision of Ahuramazda’sFinal victory over the Evil Spirit. (B 1:29)

The Evil One, seeing this vision of his own failure,Became stunned and incapacitated,And receded into the darkness. (B 1:30)While the Evil Spirit remained in this unconscious state,Ahuramazda brought forth the creation of the World. (B 1a:2)

II.

First, he created the Sky: shining, clear, and distant,Made of metal, glimmering steel,From the substance of the male diamond;Whose roof is connected to the endless light. (B 1a:6)Here is where the the Sun and the Moon,As well as all brilliance came to be. (B 1a:16)Having mind and voice and movement,Knowing, giving, and discerning: this is the Sky Spirit. (B 1a:6)

Secondly, from the substance of the Sky, he brought forth the Water. (B 1a:7)He made the Water shining, for at fi rst, it was dark. (B 1a:17)He created, for its assistance, the Wind and the Rain,As well as the Cloud, the Snow, and the Lightning. (B 1a:7)And in the upper half of the Heavens,He stationed the Wind, the Cloud and the Lightning,So that, when the Adversary would arrive,The Water Spirit and Tishtar (Sirius) would seize the Water,And cause it to rain. (B 2:15)

Thirdly, out of the Water he created the Earth, round and far-reaching,With paths that neither ascend nor descend,In the middle of the sky. (B 1a:8)Which was to be the foundation for the growth of all creation: (B 1a:18)Hard as the eagle’s bluff , stuff ed with dust, topped with loam. (B 1a:9)From the substance of the Earth, he produced mountains,And he created, to help the Earth:Iron, brass, brimstone, borax, limestone,And all of the other elements found in the solid Earth;And underneath the Earth, everywhere, the Water remained. (B 1a:10)

Fourthly, he created the Plant, in the middle of the Earth,It grew upward, several feet high,Without branches or bark or thorn, fresh and sweet;Which held the potential for every kind plantIn its own seed. (B 1a:11)Here all leaf, fragrance, color, and brilliance came to be. (B 1a:19)He produced, to help the Plant, both the Water and the Fire;With their strength, it would grow forever. (B 1a:11)

Fi� hly, he brought forth a solitary ox, Gav,To the middle of the World.She was white and shining, like the moon.He produced, to help her, the Water and the Plant;For, from these she would gain strength and grow. (B 1a:12)

Sixthly, he brought forth a man, Gayomart,Shining like the sun, to the middle of the World.He possessed eyes and ears and a tongue,And bore a sign;For Gayomart had the following fate:That all of Humankind would be born of his seed, and in his semblance.He (Ahuramazda) produced, to help him, rejuvinating Sleep.He brought forth Gav and Gayomart out of the Earth.He created Gav and Gayomart with bodies,So that they would multiplyAnd bring forth all animals and Humankind. (B 1a:13)

He brought forth the Human form in fi ve parts:The Body, the Spirit, the Soul, the Essence, and the Guardian.The Body is connected to the World;The Spirit is connected to the Wind,Which brings about changes to the complexion;The Soul is connected to the conscience, within the Body,Which listens, sees, speaks, and knows;The Essence is connected to the station of the Sun;And the Guardian answers to the Wise Lord, Ahuramazda.©2015 Eric Banks

He created Humankind in this manner,So that when men die,The Body unites with the Earth,The Spirit with the Wind,The Essence with the Sun,And the Soul with the Guardian,So that it cannot be destroyed. (B 3:13)

And he brought forth the Fire,Which would be permeated throughout the entire creation. (B 3:8)He ordered the FireTo be in service to Humankind,To prepare food and to fi ght disease,To be extinguished when blown upon,And to grow forth when given fuel. (B 3:9)He then called this created Fire “Khvarag;”And connected it by a beam to the Endless Light. (B 1a:4)

III.

O you who have created the Earth, As well as the Water and the Plant;Grant us Immortality and PerfectionThrough your Holy Spirit, O Lord,Renew our Lifes and SoulsThrough the teachings of your Love. (G 51:7)

O Lord, in the beginningYou sculpted our Bodies and Souls,And gave us Reason, from your own Mind;You clothed our Spirits with fl esh,And gave us strength and convictionTo guide us on whatever path we choose. (G 31:11)

Ahuramazda, between the Sky and the Earth,Brought forth the Luminaries. (B 2:1)First, he created the Firmament; ©2015 Eric Banks

He fi xed upon it the Stars of the Constellations,Especially the twelve, who are so named:The Ram, the Ox, the Twins, and the Crab,The Lion, the Corn-husk, the Balance, and the Scorpion,The Centaur, the Goat, the Urn, and the Fishes.Upon each star of these ConstellationsResided every class of commander and soldier,Who were stationed and ready for ba� le. (B 2:2)

He ordained this Firmament in the likeness of the year:With twelve Constellations as there are twelve months,And each constellation inhabiting thirty degrees,As each month has thirty days. (B 2:6)Above this, he created the Moon. (B 2:10)Above that, he created the swi� and shining Sun. (B 2:11)Above the sun, he created the throne of the Holy Immortals,Which is connected to the Endless Light,And the throne of Ahuramazda himself. (B 2:13)

As Ahuramazda prepared for his own manifestation,Along with the six Holy Immortals,He brought forth all spiritual and worldly creationsIn the same manner;So the spirit of Ahuramazda and the six Holy Immortals came to be:Vohuman (Love), Artavahesht (Truth),Shatrivar (Strength), Spendarmat (Devotion),Khurdat (Perfection), and Amurdat (Immortality). (B 3:7)

He created the Holy Immortals And appointed them to diff erent stations,To assist during the confl ict of the creation,So that when the Adversary came,Each would have his or her own opponentTo take on in ba� le. (B 3:10)The fi rst spirit was that of Ahuramazda himself;From all that he had made, he took Humankind into his care. (B 3:12)©2015 Eric Banks

The second spirit is known as Vohuman (Love);From all of creation,He took every species of Animal into his care. (B 3:14)The third spirit is known as Artavahesht (Truth);From the entire creation,He took Fire into his care. (B 3:15)The fourth spirit is known as Shatrivar (Strength);From the entire creation,He took the metal of the Sky into his care. (B 3:16)The fi � h spirit is known as Spendarmat (Devotion);From the entire creation,She took the Earth into her care. (B 3:17)The sixth spirit is known as Khurdat (Perfection);From the entire creation,She took the Water into her care. (B 3:18)The seventh spirit is known as Amurdat (Immortality);From the entire creation,She took the Plants into her care. (B 3:19)

Led by the Holy Spirit and Love,Inspired by Truth to the best thoughts, words, and deeds,—Perfection and Immortality are bestowed unto creation,Through the Strength and Devotion of Ahuramazda. (G 47:1)

IV.

Of these two spirits,The false one chose to do harm,But the blessed one chose the Truth;Those who wish to be clothed in inexhaustible light,Will strive to please the Wise Lord,And will choose to do truthful deeds. (G 30:5)

Even the Demons did not chose the right path,For, the Evil one was there to delude themAnd swayed them when they were in doubt;So they chose the path of Hatred,©2015 Eric Banks

And rushed away with him in violence,To plan their poisoning of the World. (G 30:6)

And every one of the DemonsIs part of the False one’s brood,Just like those who follow and honor him now;From the lies in their self-centered minds,The Demon’s double-crossing deeds spring forth,And for this, they are hated throughout the seven creations. (G 32:3)

It is said, thatWhen the Evil Spirit invaded,He arrived not at a certain year, month, or day, For, he came in a moment. (B 7:1)

Then the Evil Spirit rose up,With all of his Demon agents,Against the Luminaries;He looked upon the Sky,And in a destructive rage, made his a� ack:He took the Sky, at the station of the Stars,And bent it downward, toward the Void,He then crept underneath the station of the Luminaries,And emerged, standing within the Sky. (B 4:10)And the World, at midday,Was so consumed by his throngs,That the metal of the Sky appeared black,Refl ecting the darkness that fell over all the Earth. (B 4:11)

Then, like a serpent,He dragged the Sky beneath the Earth,And he tried to break it apart.And the Sky feared him,As the sheep fears the wolf. (B 4:10)

Then he came through the Water, beneath the Earth, (B 4:10)And he changed the taste of it. (B 4:13)©2015 Eric Banks

Then he pierced the Earth, and came through its center. (B 4:10)And he released vermin all over the Earth;These crept upon it, and polluted it,Biting and stinging, venomous vermin:The dragon, serpent, and scorpion,The lizard, tortoise, and frog,Not even the point of a needle was free from these vermin. (B 4:15)

Then, he came to the Plant;A� er that, to Gav and Gayomart. (B 4:10)He brought poison unto the Plant,And it withered immediately. (B 4:17)He unleashed greed, depravity, pestilence, and disease,Hunger, illness, vice, and lethargyUpon the bodies of Gav and Gayomart. (B 4:19)

Then he came to the Fire. (B 4:10)And he mingled smoke and darkness within it. (B 4:27)In this way he disfi gured the entire World,As when smoke rises from the Fire, and lingers everywhere. (B 4:27)Thus, like a fl y,He invaded all of creation. (B 4:10)

Before the Evil One got to Gav,Ahuramazda produced a healing herb;He gave it to Gav to eat,And rubbed some of it upon her eyes,So that a� er what would be a life of smiting and injury,He pain might decrease.She immediately became feeble and ill;Her milk dried up, and she died. (B 4:20)Before the Evil One got to Gayomart,Ahuramazda created Sleep, which came over him quickly,In the time it takes to u� er a stanza. (B 4:22)And when Gayomart awoke from this Sleep,He saw that the World was suddenly dark,©2015 Eric Banks

And that throughout the Earth,Not even the point of a needle was free from vermin;He saw that the Firmament was moving,And that the Sun and Moon were sinking,Toward what seemed to be the bo� om of the World,And the Evil Demons roared,In their ba� le with the Constellations. (B 4:23)

Who will rescue my soul?What can protect my fl ock,Other than your Truth, O Wise Lord,Or when called to duty, your Love? (G 50:1)

V.

This I ask you, Lord, tell me truly:Who was the creator, the father of all Truth?Who forged the path of the Sun and the Stars?Who caused the Moon to wax and wane as it turns?All this, and other things, I wish to know, O Wise one. (G 44:3)

This I ask you, Lord, tell me truly:Who separated the Earth from the Sky?Who assigned the Water and the Plants to their place?Who gave swi� ness to the Wind, the Cloud, and the Rain?And who, O Wise one, created Love? (G 44:4)

This I ask you, Lord, tell me truly:Who fashioned the realms of Light and Darkness?Who created Sleep and Wakefulness?Who brought forth the Night and the dawning Day,To remind the wise of their life’s purpose? (G 44:5)

Then the Adversary came,And set them into motion,And from this motion they will not ever change. (B 2:17)

The Planets are deceptive, like shadows,For, they are Demons,Creating misfortune and injury;When they run across the Heavens,Their light is visible, but inconsistent. (B 5a:9)The Planets, while in the Heavens,Found the twelve houses of the Constellations,And in these house, they each encountered their own opposites:Exaltation and fall, gain and loss,Joy and sorrow, each was equally matched. (B 5a:9)And the seven Planets, with their army of Demons,Ba� led the Constellations, sca� ering through the Firmament. (B 4:27)

The Sky Spirit,Like an agile warrior,Clad in metallic armorFrom the Sky itself,Prepared himself for the Evil Spirit,And led the a� ack against him,During this time, Ahuramazda built a fortifi cationThat was stronger than before,Around the edges of the Sky. (B 6a:2)

The Fravahrs, the guardian warriors,Brave and devoted horsemen, with spears in hand,Were stationed all around this fortifi cation;There were as many of them as there are hairs on a head,And each of them was guarding this fortifi cation.

The Spirits of Good fought the Evil Spirit and his Demons,In valiant ba� les over all of creation,Until they defeated them, and threw them into Hell. (B 4:27)Hell is found in the middle of the Earth,At the point where the Evil Spirit pierced it,When he fi rst invaded creation.

At this point, every element in the WorldHad been transformed into two opposing forces,In constant opposition and combat;And the mingling of high and low had come to be. (B 4:28)

Since the star Tishtar (Sirius), found in the watery crab (Crab),Was shining in the Ascendant on the same dayThat the Adversary invaded,He appeared in the Sky above. (B 6b:1)Tishtar, who foretold the coming of rain,Caused the Water to move, with the Wind’s strength, to the Cloud. (B 6b:2)For thirty days and night, Tishtar produced rain. (B 6b:4)Every drop of rain that fell was as large as a basin,Until over the entire Earth, the Water stood the height of a man. (B 6b:5)And the vermin on the Earth, all of them,Were killed by this Rain,Except for those who fl ew out of its path,Or burrowed into the Earth. (B 6b:6)

Then, the Wind Spirit,Like the Spirit within the Body,Stirred up the Wind of the entire atmosphere;He swept over all of the Water,And took it unto the ends of the Earth,And from this, the ocean was formed. (B 6b:7)But the dead vermin remained within the Earth,©2015 Eric Banks

And their venom and stench spread over all the Earth;So, in order to expunge it from the Earth,Tishtar descended deep into the ocean. (B 6b:8)Then, with the Cloud as a container, he seized the Water;He caused it to rain severely,With drops the sizes of ox and human heads,In armfuls and handfuls, both great and small. (B 6b:13)He caused it to rain this way for ten nights and days.And the venom of the vermin, upon the Earth,Combined entirely with the Water,And created salt. (B 6b:15)Then, in the same manner, the Wind took the Water,And for three days, he spread it in every direction of the Earth.And from this rese� ling, the seas were formed. (B 6b:16)

When the Evil Spirit invaded the Earth, and it trembled,The substance of the mountains was produced within the Earth.At that time, the mountains emerged from the Earth,Growing like trees,Running their tendrils above it, and roots below. (B 6c:1)And therea� er, the EarthCould not be shaken from its place. (B 6c:2)And passages for the Water in the mountains,Both above and below their roots, were formed,So that the Water could fl ow through them,Just as the roots of the trees pass through the Earth,And the blood fl ows in the veins of Humankind,Giving strength to the entire Body. (B 6c:4)

Amurdat, the Holy Immortal who had taken the Plant into her care,Ground the poisoned Plant into a fi ne powder;She mixed it with the Water that Tishtar had seized,And Tishtar then sca� ered this Water over all the Earth.

Ten thousand kinds of Plants grew forth,From that single kind,In order to withstand the ten thousand diseasesThat the Evil Spirit devised to ruin creation.

Upon her passing, due to her origin from the Plant,Medicinal herbs sprang from the limbs of Gav,And grew out of the Earth. (B 6e:1)Also from there, a pair of oxen, one male and one female,And then, two of every sort of AnimalCame forth, out of the Earth. (B 6e:4)Now, the Animals make their home on the Earth,Birds take to the Air,And Fishes swim in the Water,To provide ample nourishment for all creatures. (B 6e:5)

“The Truth is the highest good, it is brilliance;And this brilliance comes to those who seek Truth for its own sake.” (AV)

I sing now, and will always sing your praise, O Lord,As long as your Truth grants me the ability;Through your Love, the creation of life has come to be,And will be fulfi lled and renewed by the your will. (G 50:11)

We sing for you our hymns of adoration,For we have truly seen you in the eyes of our Soul; —Through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds,And by seeking Truth, we have seen the Wise Lord ourselves; —So let us off er him our praise in the House of Song. (G 45:8)

I. Before time Para zrvâna anAvrz arap Eric Banks

Copyright 2008-2010. All rights reserved by the composer.

Now I shall speak, for all who will listen, of the two spirits created by Ahuramazda;I shall chant unto the Wise Lord, and in praise of Love;I shall tell the sacred story of Truth, so that you shall attain perfection in heavenly light.Listen to these wonderful truths, and consider them with an illumined mind,

Yet in their thoughts, in their words, and in their deeds, these two represented Good and Evil;Among these two, the Good Spirit chose the wise path, and the Evil Spirit chose the path of foolishness.©2015 Eric Banks
