Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "I honour and love you but I shall obey ______ rather than you."

Answer: God

Yes, the idea of the song is that it is sung to Jesus, so this person will obey God rather than Jesus.

2. "God is apprehended by imagination, ________, reason, touch, opinion, sense and name and so on."

Answer: intuition

Blink and you'll miss it. This is the second part of the prologue in which the singing starts at lightning speed.

3. "But the _______ nobility with typical agility."

Answer: German

This is usually sung by the person playing Martin Luther in the prologue, although it is very difficult for the cast to actually be named as there are so many parts to play.

4. "The rise of man, the decline of _______."

Answer: Rome

This part of the prologue is usually sung as a duet.

5. "________ is noble nowadays."

Answer: What

The word 'what' is held for an amazingly long time before the rest of the phrase is spoken.

6. "Aethistic, existentialism, which _____ represent."

Answer: I

If I remember rightly, the person singing this part takes the role of Jean-Paul Sartre.

7. "Man is a ________ of patterns and processes."

Answer: complex

This part fits in the middle of the previous part, so in one way it could be seen as a duet.

8. "So high, in my lovely ivory tower of _________."

Answer: Babel

The Tower of Babel, although in the song it sounds like babble.

9. How many times is Babel sung in this part of the song?

Answer: eleven

"Tower of babel, babble, babble, babble, babble, babble, babble, babble. High above the rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble. babble, rabble, babble, rabble, babble, rabble."

10. "I live on earth at present and I don't know what I am. I know that I am not a category, I am not a thing, a _______."

Answer: noun

This is a spoken part of the prologue and is usually performed as a monologue.
