Music By Dave Brubeck

Text Adapted From The Scriptures by Iola and Dave Brubeck.

Part I takes as its text the temptations of Jesus, his message of hope to a suffering world, and summation of his teachings in the commandment to love one another. Part II deals primarily with questions of faith and man’s place in the universe.
