Cave\n\nCave\nChao ab ordo\nDe profundis, hostis humani generis\n(Natura Contristatur)\nSolus vivo ipse, (Ex oblivione) cetera desunt\nScio non mors incerta\nDis aliter visum\nCredite me, Haud ignota loquor\n\nII. Mortuis Vivum\n\n(Rigor mortis, Algor mortis, Livor mortis)\nSublimis ex humus \nVivant memor leti \nNon impediti ratione congitatonis\n(corpos, dementiae, disjecta membra)\nDeliriant, erga omnes, mortuis vivum\nMens insanit in corpore mortua\n(Integer mors) \nPropter vitam vivendi perdere causas\nCum mortuis in lingua mortua\nIn os venenum\n(Ad oculos)\n\nIII. Bellum Omnium\n\nQuem deus vult perdere, dementat prius\nFiat iustitia aut pereat mundus\nIn girum imus nocte et consumimur mortuis\nDeledant est\nSi vis pacem para bellum\n(Bellum omnium contra omnes)\nSi caditis, sic omnis terra\n\nIV. Praemonitus\n\nAlea iacta est\nLibera te tutemet ex inferis\nEgo non\nDiem perdidi, non sum qualis eram\n(Aut pax aut bellum)\nNon omnis moriar, graviora manent\n(Aut vincere aut mori)\nPraemonitus praemunitus\nServo permaneo bovis provestri\nAut quad eris sum \nMors mea \n(Omnia dicta fortiora si dicta Latina)\nVita tua\n(Quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur)\nDixi\n\nPerformed on my senior composition recital at the Hockett Family Recital Hall in the James J. Whalen School of Music at Ithaca College on March 31st, 2010.
