Tales from the Arabian Nights - Suite for Organ

I. The Fisherman and the Genie.
Spirals black to ashen fade
Out copp'rous vase, in torquoies haze,
Clouds a form grotesque assume,
Genie dread, who waite thy doom.
(John William Oakes)

II. Julanar of the Sea.
Far lovelier than you silver moon,
In wanton flight thru trellis'd stars,
Julanar, daughter of sea
Comes forth, Sheriman's tube.
(John William Oakes)

III. Alladin.
The magic of thy lamp enslaves
A Genie, whom thy bidding waits-
He brings to thee one command
Impression'd loves, moonlight romance.
(John William Oakes)

IV. Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.
The forty robbers bold depart,
L'nmindful that their craft and art
Revealed to woodsman hid in tree
Tha magic "Open Sesame".
(John William Oakes)
