Lego Christian Zeal and Activity by John Adams

Back




As a side project while working on the next big lego opera... which will be pretty grand... I wanted to try something a little different. Christian Zeal and Activity is one of the lesser known, but incredibly powerful, pieces by the American composer John Adams. Growing up in rural churches across Indiana, this piece just makes sense to me. It captures the value and beauty in a religion that's often plagued with bad stereotypes. There are sections in this piece that have been cut.. the original is a little over 10 minutes longs, but the spoken parts in this video have remained uncut and are presented as Adams intended... with the exception of all the lego people.
