Afrihound presents an Opera Extravaganza. Adventures One Snowy Twilight Night Around My Home.

I filmed this video footage just after New Year, 2014, after we had had some snow in the area I live. One night we experienced the Twilight Glow that happens sometimes at night when it has snowed. Under certain circumstances light is reflected off the snow giving it a beautiful aura that can light up the night in a way that allows you to go outside without any light. It is a most enchanting sight.
The story of the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar is told in the Bible. He was king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, who reigned c. 605 BC -- 562 BC. He is credited with the construction of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and for the destruction of the First Temple. He is featured in the Book of Daniel and is mentioned in several other books of the Bible.
Nebuchadnezzar is widely known through his portrayal in the Bible, especially the Book of Daniel. The Bible discusses events of his reign and his conquest of Jerusalem. The second chapter of Daniel relates an account attributed to the second year of his reign, in which Nebuchadnezzar dreams of a huge image made of various materials (gold, silver, bronze, iron and clay). The prophet Daniel tells him God's interpretation, that it stands for the rise and fall of world powers, starting with Nebuchadnezzar's own as the golden head.
In Daniel chapter 3, Nebuchadnezzar erects a large idol made of gold for worship during a public ceremony on the plain of Dura. When three Jews, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah (respectively renamed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego by their captors, to facilitate their assimilation into Babylonian culture), refuse to take part, he has them cast into a fiery furnace. They are protected by what Nebuchadnezzar describes as "a son of the gods" (Daniel 3:25 NIV) and emerge unscathed without even the smell of smoke. Daniel chapter 4 contains an account of Nebuchadnezzar's dream about an immense tree, which Daniel interprets to mean that Nebuchadnezzar will go insane for seven years because of his pride. The chapter is written from the perspective of king Nebuchadnezzar.

To my Beloved -- my one and only love. ~ Ephesians 1:6
"My Beloved is mine, and I am his.." ~ Song of Solomon 2:16
I can no longer fight him or his memory, my Lord.
Neither have I the desire anymore. I have lost the battle!
Nevertheless, my Lord, remember Thou Thy servant, Elizabeth,
And Thy promises to her, that my prayers are effectual for
all those for whom I intercede with you. Whether those prayers
are effectual for this temporal world we live in, or whether they
are effectual for those for whom eternal life has been predestined,
according to they word. Amen.

You probably know that your first song also has classical links, it is based on a Chopin Etude.
